Overhaul of the CW system
We’re going to remove the 24 hour cooldown system and replace it with a clan war (rez) token system:
Token system:
- Clans can salvage their fort as long as they have a token. Let’s call them rez tokens (rez = Resurrect, a Tron reference)
- Each clan will get a rez token everyday so you don’t have to rez exactly after 24 hours just to maximize your clan warring (< that’s definitely an improvement)
- You can’t keep more than 1 rez token, spend it or lose it when the next one comes in
- If your fort was just sunk you have to wait 30 mins before you can use a token to rez
- On weekends clans will get tokens every 5 hours (current system has a 5 hour cooldown on weekends)
- Weekend auto-rez will remain
“Scheduled” CW system (this may come in later or not at all):
- Every clan must pick a preferred time slot (1 hour)
- You can change the timeslot once a week
- When you rez your clan fort you will also rez any other clan if it’s their preferred timeslot (though only 15 minutes later and the clan will get a notification).
- if a clan has already been rezzed once through this method it will not be rezzed; 24 hour cooldown
I’ll make updates to this post if we decide to change anything.

Awesome!
Hmm. Can I use a token in the middle of autorez to jump a couple of juicy clans?
We should be able to store 2 or 3 Rez tokens (with the 30 minute cooldown). Would be really nice to be able to Rez quickly after being taken down.
A long time ago, i used to play fallen sword… In that game, clans could build things that give passive bonus to the members… Why don’t you do that in BS too? like build a workshop or blaksmith in the fort, so the members gain a bonus on their craft. We could build a training area, that gives a bonus to the nav or gunnery…
I think that just build weapons for the clan is too poor…
I am all for the token system – to be able to rez once a day whenever you want, but the real pain would be fort-watch since anyone could come up at any time. I actually like the idea of a challenge system where there is a 15 minute warning for clan wars… this would drastically help the horribleness of fortwatch, and greatly reduce the lag on servers of people refreshing the war page.
Question on this:
“When you rez your clan fort you will also rez any other clan if it’s their preferred timeslot (though only 15 minutes later and the clan will get a notification).” Question – would this use up your token? And if it does, why not just set that timing as late as possible so you can war when you want instead of it being dictated by someone else’s rez?
I think it should be 2 tokens on Fridays, but otherwise good.
