Currently, as you all know, when a squad reaches 1,000 hour, only five members and the leader are allowed to get the hat. I believe this was Stefan idea due to "hat chasers". Hat chasers usually join a squad, reach 1k hour and move onto the next squad. Stefan's idea is to limit these by only allowing five hats to be giving out. Here is my solution, that would encourage players to base more and not only that, stay loyal to the squad in the long run. This solution would include some major rewards and achievements.
2,000 hour - Receive a custom hat (limit is 15).
4,000 hour - Receive a custom pet robot (limit is 15).
6,000 hour - Receive a custom gun camo (limit 15).
8,000 hour - Receive a custom gun (limit 10).
10,000 hour - Receive a custom gang house on the map, with a custom body (limit 10).
NOTE: Leader will choose who he wants to give the reward to. A custom gang house is only limited to the first 10 squad to reach 10k hours.
