A boarding cave could be purchased like a normal cave, but would enable a player to board other members' lions/lionesses. It would be used ONLY for boarded lions, so you could not put your own lions in the boarding cave.

Boarding lions would (similarly to reverse breeding) be based on a real countdown in days, not the number of rollovers - so, if boarding was accepted on 01/01/2023 for 7 days, the lioness would always be returned 7 days later on the 8th January, even if the player didn't roll at all.

The boarding cave would enable you to board lionesses in your territory for another member, and could provide one or two boarding slots. Additional boarding slots could be purchased for GB similarly to submale slots, lioness slots, etc.

Once a player unlocked the boarding cave, they could set a rate for boarding another member's lions. Then, members could board their lions in these caves for a chosen duration and fee (accepted/rejected by the owner like a normal stud or breeding request).

Boarded lions are transferred into the boarding cave and can be fed, played with, hunted, patrolled, and bred like normal lionesses/lions, but they cannot be customized, kinged, retired, sold, or chased. The only difference is that the lion is automatically returned to the original owner once the boarding time is up. Kind of like a loan. If the lioness still has cubs at foot when she goes home, the cubs are transferred to the original owner.

If the lioness was starving or depressed during the boarding, she would return home and the boarding fee waived at 10% mood/80% hunger. ALTERNATIVELY, owners could have the option to feed their boarded lions as well as the boarder themselves.

Why would this help?
- This would enable players to train other people's cubs or lions without relying on a promise
- Players could freeze other players' lions in exchange for a fee
- This would enable players to reverse breed with studs other than their own (e.g., buy a heat, have the lioness on board, and then wait for the cubs to be born - lioness goes home and cubs once aged up stay behind)
- Players could control durations based on their unique needs
- Offers a backup solution for players who have no territory but don't want to get rid of lions

So lions could act as the owner of the den’s lions, but they would essentially be “secured” in the fact that you couldn’t accidentally get rid of them? Also, you couldn't apply anything to them, so like decor could be shut off, but you could still breed, right?

@Wasp - yes, that would be correct! So the secured lion couldn't have any changes made to it that might change it's value (eg. No replacing interstellar base with albino) but it can be trained, hunted, patrolled, bred, or frozen. Cubs could also be aged up

Seems pointless

@Akiose - It's mainly to offer a safer alternative for things like "traditional breeding" and reverse breeding without using your own stud, etc, as well as freezing other players' lions, etc, which could result in people getting scammed. Fair enough if none of the uses I listed above seem relevant to you though.

I'd like to add a couple ideas to this--

Like reverse breeding I would think they should come with a food and toy bundle to keep them at 100% There should be a bare minimum button, like studding. Min could be 50SB per day and changed by owner of the boarding slots.

Lions close to death (i.e. 15.11yrs) should not be able to be boarded. I don't think frozen lions or allowing freezing is a good idea. Could cause some issues between players. And more work for the mods. Lions should age regardless of whether owner is absent, so as long as the boarder is rolling over so should the boarding lion.

There should be buttons for owner to click when boarding.

"Send Cub A to Player A?"
1. Allow Cub Training
2. Allow Hunting/Patrols (this would include Adols)
3. Allow Breeding
(Or not allow as well)

Should be able to attach items and boarding fees.

Both owner and boarder should be able to refund/finish boarding early and left over fees and items returned for any reason. BUT there should be a warning if someone is at their limit (Warning! This lion cannot be sent back due to the following reasons: No Territory Slots)

I'm not sure I agree on the freezing point personally, as I think it would be helpful to have the option to freeze the lion (and even if that player never rolled over, the lion would still be returned on time). However, I like the other points, maybe the boarding duration couldn't go longer than the lion's age (e.g. lions would be auto returned at 14 years 11 months).
