Allow Squadrons To Be Considered "System Architects"

[Cheesyduck]

I think opening the door to squadrons being able to build up a colony system as opposed to an indivudal would encourage more cooperation in the new update. This way Squadron members can earn the weekly income and have it be distributed based on rank or individual or something. I'm interested to hear other peoples thoughts on how this could be implemented without breaking things as they currently are.

Personally I would hope it would come as an option as opposed to squadron members being forced to share but it would be nice to have a choice.

Is a maximum of five million per colony worth splitting up and sharing out rather than just helping each member with their own stations?

I suppose it might be a incentive not to leave the squadron.

That really depends on how many people are in the squadron/actively helping with development. For surface installations and orbital facilities it really doesn't take that long for a few people to start developing a system. And a big group could potentially be working on multiple systems at once.

The average player probably won't be colonizing that many systems, unless they really like hauling, but if a squadron owns multiple systems architect rights it could create a growing pool of credits.

Obviously if your squadrons full of inactive/semi active people you should be be able to adjust the payouts based on something whether it be contribution based or rank based so as to incentivize cooperation with squadron members.
