I was thinking in the old days if a ship of a nation showed up on an island with no civilized nations claim on it, they could declare it part of their nation and hand it over to the crown for usually rewards and prestige. Maybe we should do that find some patron who would reward us for such efforts after all we have a flying ship they are not common and could spot islands and lands from greater distances. Just an idea. A very powerful merchant alliance perhaps who might find the colonization of primitive lands appealing. I would suggest we get shares of the profits as part of a deal say a 1% share. Just an in game idea I will broach but would the players like the idea? And the GM allow it?
