How are land claims supposed to work?

Yeah, so there's a lot here. I'll kind of walk through just plots of land in general and then we'll talk about how the land can fall into that. So when you go to acquire a plot of land to build on there's a couple choices you need to make straight off the bat. We have a general plot which allows you to build anything and then there are prospecting plots which are a little bit smaller they're cheaper and they're more geared towards mining. You'll see like a square layered on the terrain and that's basically your current selected plot of land. You can grab a face of it make it a rectangle, make it a bigger square and this is you selecting the surface area that you want and the cost scales up with the surface area. If you were to purchase a one by one kilometer and then another one by one kilometer it would actually be more expensive because the cost will take into account the total surface area you own on the planet. Where the beacon comes in is that you kind of skip this initial UEC cost for purchasing a plot. You just use the beacon and you have your plot of land. From then onwards if you bought with UEC or used a land claim beacon there'll be a reoccurring UEC tax and if you fail to pay that tax over a period of time you'll begin to lose rights to your base and eventually you'll lose complete ownership of the land, complete ownership of the building. They could be looted, someone else can buy up that area. It's very important that we avoid this concept of like a dead base. We don't want people to be able to just go AFK either for a year even though they stacked up billions in their account. We still don't want them to be able to have a dead base. We want to free that up for the players. In addition to that there will be some limitations where you can buy plots for land and use beacons. We're going to have for one of them National Park both in lawful and lawless areas and this it's a no build zone and this allows us to reserve land that's pristine for exploration, it's pristine for resource gathering and so on. When you have your plot of land there will also be an exclusion zone around it where no one else can buy or build so you can't get boxed in. That is a high level summary I suppose of the current plan for land claims and plots in general.
