Picking up cores when going offline/being raided - Part 2, potential solutions

At this point, there is very little to discourage picking up of cores. Picking up your core does clear the contents of the core, but (assuming /f top is a side leaderboard), I don't see a major reason to store money/spawners in your core, and you can empty the TNT bank and put it in a chest before picking up your core. I think picking up the core should be discouraged further in some way. Last season I think there was a 2 min cooldown on picking up a faction core (although the process of picking up a core was very buggy), but I don't see this as sufficient. One idea would be 1. If you place a core, you are given a few minutes to pick up the core with no penalty 2. Picking up a core starts a long timer (maybe 8-24+ hours or more) 3. Once you initiate a core pick-up, your core perks are disabled during the timer 4. You can't cancel a core pick-up, or if you can, your perks still remain disabled for the timer There's also the question of if picking up spawners should also be discouraged, though this may be a bit more debatable. There isn't currently a disincentive to a smaller faction picking up all their spawners every time they go offline/if they are being raided. One option would be a similar system, but during the timer the spawner is deactivated (does not spawn mobs), and once the spawner is picked up it goes directly to your inventory.
