Ive had part of this idea for awhile but Baker654's post about Neutral Cruisers has sparked the rest of this idea to come together.
Baker654's post link for reference: http://www.navyfield.com/board/view.asp? Num=177513&Sort=D08&Order=re_upday&PageSize=20&Page=1&Ctg_1=&Ctg_2=& Ctg_3=
OK! On to the idea...
I would like to see the neutral nation have rentals. The price of these rentals can range from free to under ~25k. The rental's main use would be in Missions and in Training Missions (this would allow SDE to make more training missions for sertain ships) These rentals can be of many variety... BB, CV, AA boat, SS, Torp Boat, and whatever else SDE or any players can think of (post them if you please).
There could also be a few rentals for actual battle with players, but they would be NO higher than say a CL (I would actually go for as high as a DD). There would have to be a warning message about classing your sailor into a nation at level 12 though... so the level of these rentals would have to be lower than level 12... (which is why I suggest only going as high as a DD on rentals that can be played in actual battle with other players)
These Rentals would have a predetermined number of uses aswell like any other rental. The uses that each ship has would depend on what it can be used for (missions or battle).
Along with players being able to use these rentals in training missions anytime they want, there can also be an addition to the tatorial where it explains how to rent a ship, and it could also give information on their uses and benifits. Like instead of you automatically recieving the BB Training ship Super Yamy, It could have you go through renting it. This is where the information on rentals can be presented to new players.
There could also be a message informing you that you can use the selected ship in a training mission. (We all know, there would be these messages, thats why I meantioned them)
This would put the "rent" and "return" option in the neutral harbour to actual use, and allow players without a fleet that owns a harbour to have a rental if they so please.
I would really like this to happen because I want to be able to rent the SY again and use it in the training mission... because well hell... that thing is FUN! Hel i'm sure i'm not the only one who would like to use that SY again... even if it's just in a training mission :p :)
If anyone has any feed-back or additions to this idea, please speak up, and if I like any additions to the idea, I will add it to the main post under this text.
