Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[Chiami]

Giving this another bump, because really, the light party requirement just punishes smaller FCs, and is probably one of the main reasons why this feature is so utterly underused (as was said by devs themselves). Giving us submarines won't make it get used more, removing the light party requirement will.

I am currently poking my (not small) friends list to find 4 people who a) are currently subbed and b) have the TIME to stand for a while in my workshop doing 100% nothing instead of enjoying their valuable gaming time (they pay for with their subs), and it is a painful exercise for everyone involved.

By now we have gone to the point where people stay logged in when they go to sleep and afk all night in my workshop while I churn out wheels for everyone in preparation for 5.0. Is that what was meant with "cooperation"? I don't think so, but it's the reality on how this feature ends up being...

So please, remove the requirement. Still allow all FC members to contribute mats, but progressing a project is not tied to a party being present. This would be such a booster to the FC workshop and its usage.

I think a good idea presented by someone else in the past could also be considered: You can progress alone, but if there is a party present the chance to require less mats for the next step is reduced. Bonus for people who work together, but not making the workshop an exercise of afking.

Pretty Pleaaaaaase (with cherry on top)
