Proper FCs are in competition with Shell/sub/RMT FCs that buy up housing plots for the Submarine gil output. Why are the workshops tied to housing in the first place? They don't interact with the Housing decoration system, and it prevents FCs who aren't able to own a plot from interacting with the system at all.
Please, it would be great if the FC Submarine/Airship workshop was moved to the Grand Company kiosk in their respective major cities, possibly accessed via the same door used for GC Squadrons (or just an NPC standing there).
It'll allow all FCs access to the workshop, and discourage the practice of hoarding plots purely for the workshop.
On the Materia OCE datacenter, the lowest population server, it's FC wards (particularly in the starter cities), are practically completely full, especially the cheaper/small houses. Comparatively personal housing still has quite a few empty spots, with certain places like Zurvan having entire personal wards empty.
Materia used to be pretty empty for housing on most fronts, but I imagine opening it up for International travel/visiting encouraged RMT/Shell FCs to buy up property and give the gil to accounts on other (JP/NA/EU) servers.
Materia still doesn't have the 6 additional wards added a few years ago (25-30) open for purchasing, nor was the FC/Personal classification system reworked to be more open like the Dynamis worlds in 7.0. Likely due to some worlds still being very empty (see Zurvan personal plots), which will likely not fill up in the near future, though others are definitely full enough to justify unlocking the additional wards (see Sophia).
I want to say, 'hey, could we please unlock those wards on Materia, or make all wards free for all (both personal and FC) to help fill them up', but you know that a lot of those plots available for FCs will be brought up by Shell/RMT FCs for their submarine workshops.
The ones above are obvious shells, but a lot more FC plots are owned by FCs with filler/nonsense names.
There's even Shell FCs that sit on more popular housing plots.. There's an issue with RMT involving FC housing, where people sell housing plots for real money, by transferring FC ownership. The submarine suggestion won't help this, but at least it might reduce the amount of shell FC owned plots.
Would be nice to have 'infinite' housing wards, though it isn't feasible depending on how wards are handled server side. But, given that Materia still hasn't received the 6 additional housing wards from years ago, I doubt any future new ones will be available to us, and it's likely they'll just be eaten up by Shell/RMT FCs anyways due to Materia's international hub usage allowing for easier RMT/gil transfer.
