Now idk how hard it would be to make the trading real time, like you put in your items and you can see the other person put in their items as well, then be able to confirm the trade, that may be much harder to do then it sounds. But another thing I was thinking was that the trade wouldn't be instant, it would calculate how long it would take to travel in boat speed in a straight line to the other mailbox (could possibly be calculated per minimap tile)
Anyway, this is just an idea, so basically if someone wanted to remove the risk of leaving their base they could trade safely from behind their walls, (at least items that can be put into containers) it would just be an optional thing people could spend money on which helps out the Devs, and if people are willing to shell out the cash, keeps them/their valuables safe from robbery on the road.
Let me know what you guys think, and feel free to add your own ideas to it!
