Need new ships!
 

Who else besides me, thinks we need new ships? Im getting reallly sick of the ones we have now. We need like bigger ships with more cannons, and wouldn't it be soooo cool if they could make our ships have little rooms, and places to eat, play poker, and places for crew to sleep. Just like you see in the movies! I think we all should send in a request like this! That would be one of the best updates ever!

IMO, I think it would be better to have Total Ship Customization.

If we have total ship customization, players wont all have the same ships and everything like that.

For example, Johnny may want his stairs in the middle but Bob wants his stairs on the right.

I didn't think about it like that! But that would be awesome too! And we should be able to pick the color of the ship, such as like Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Black, ect. And pick the color of the panels and woodwork. And we should get to build the ship ourselves and also still get those cool rooms and all that! That would be awesome!

do you guys really want total customization? haha pink ships for all you ladies.. pink ships out in the seas ROFL

This has been something wanted since BETA. We all have had our hopes up for quite some time but yet nothing =( I still hold my head up for it though! I dont think a total customization would be made available. I simpler form may be added. Ship color, Trim color, sails & Designs and cannon types and placement seems more D to me. but who knows! A full custom would be greatly received by all players and would be extremely awesome!!!

Please make it happen Disney!!!!!

I want ship custom as much as anyone else but... It is alot of date to sort and save. And POTCO is probely not making enough money to invest in something like it. But I think new ships are on the way. Remember when we got the new lvls All the Enimes got them before we did. Well there are new ships out right now too. Like the Golieth in Boss battle and the new flag ship in the EITC ship thing. So they should be on their wat =D. But remember this is just a guess, a well thought out guess but still a guess.

Yes we definitely need new ships. :)

I think they will come out with several new ship classes and types and then give you basic customizable ship options sails,color ,
placement etc

I really do think we should have ship customization! But with a few basics like you can click and drag parts for your boat. And the parts that you use could lead to a stronger ship and would be slightly more expensive. But you wouldnt be able to drag parts willy-nilly, because a boat has to be balanced! Then you could choose color, sails, ect.

Ok Not total Ship Customization but the New Ships of the Line

Those things are BAD wow that would be so Awsome but you would have to work for it like you would have to be at least LVL 30 on Sailing and LVL 30 on Rep and 100000 Gold for the Ship Of the Line i think disney should realy read what im saying because a Ship Of the Line OMG wouldnt you want those sailing around the carribean around Kings head and Padres then it gives them the option to even place in the Edeavour and the Dauntless! So those can be bossed

i think that be soo cool and fun and btw i wouldnt have a pink ship haha way to pink!!! haha but it be funny to see all them haha but i love the idea i so hope they will it be so fun and cool :D

Total ship customization would be amazing and it should be as big as what they've done with the new Weapons across the Caribbean... Thats what I expect of it, and what will be received greatly by all players, who have waited more than a year for this.

Customization would be fun, but it would require more things to go along with it. i.e. Enemies dropping items with which to decorate it. And you would still need basic ship "bodies" to begin with.

On the other hand, new ship styles (In my opinion) would include the ship-of-the-line, or maybe the the Clipper ships of later times. (After all, galleons fell out of use in the 1500s)

Everyone one will be populaur if someone owned a ship of the line ship!

yeah gosh dang it ur right and i wish we could go into the doors!

We need a higher rank ship than War Frigate, and also higher rank (than War Frigate) enemy ships.

The Game Masters replied a question of a fellow players asking the same thing your wondering, their reply is thats custumization will be added soon, which will let your ships stand out. A good guess of what type of customization would be this:

The SAIL Image
The Ships hull trim
Type of cannon (golden,skull)
Type of wheel (skull,golden)

Full customization. I would make mine as tall as A war galleon, and as thin as a light sloop, and as short in length of light galleon. good luck hitting me, and dont forget the oversized sails!

Well, I think the ships will still look realistic, lol.

XD why not travel in time and get an aircraft carrier lol that would be nice no broadsides but planes launching bombs one broadside kill XD

They need to make the ship of the line an option to buy XD

I dont think total customization is going to happen, not because of the code aspect, I am confident the crew at Disney can cope with such an idea, but the data bandwidth needed.

If a ship can be customized from a library of componenets the library can be held on the local machine (just like alll the data for all teh models currently in the game), only a small descriptor of the objects, placement, motion for each ship in a screen needs to be moved across the network to each player who is in eyeball range. Not a lot of data per ship really.

But...

If total custoization occures then a WHOLE LOT MORE data needs to be moved around the network, artwork, skins, actual 3d models, planes, cillision parameters and who only knows what else need to be moved from server to workstation time and again (or even if cached, the cache size on you machione will grow and possibly slow down local access times due to the index of objects growing).

Only one place this is going to go, LAG, and this is with a small collection of vessels all relying on none standard library definitions.

So, while I would like to see some form of customization I would rather settle for a more conservative solution and keep the game moving than have it shudder to a halt every time a new vessel entered my field of view.

I remembered what the GM said on talk like a pirate day last year when I saw them alone on Port Royal. "The time be soon when we can fly our own flags high" is what they said. Who knows at this point.

Sounds like a cool idea to me, mateys! Probably not all ladies will like pink (me for example):) Game needs some upgrades and some new chapter to be going on there!

I WANT SHIPPS!! lol, i wanna have ship for the line :)

I am extremely wanting new vessels. And maybe to have reduced lag, the new ships we customize should be low poly. For example, a new vessel designed after the Titanic would take billions of poly to make exact, so make a low poly version to keep great speed, and maybe find a way to these ships stronger than a whole Treasure fleet without having many cannons to use. a vessel with enough hull to withstand 20 Treasure fleets would be awesome!

my ship would be a ship of the line 30 cargo 40 peeps and its body color would be white and have a killer boardside and be almost as fast as a war sloop wih killer tall sails and a spanish capitain body haging from the front and it would be unstopable and the only ship customized that way i would rule the oceans

there should be ship of the line ships to buy, also there should be ship rooms.

HAHA! They DO listen to us!

Much thanks to Sven O'symthe here for the pic.

Now i wonder.. who will get the ship first??

Ha, not me. Pooling all my pirate's money, I can't even buy the Kingfisher I think. However, all of you people with your epic money.... go buy yourself a new Ship of the Line!

I can imagine when people with the ship of the line, putting the ship on public, and at abassa.... The ship would be full in like about minutes!

Yes! New Ships are on the verge of arriving to POTCO. Though in Test, I can't wait! And with those vessels, like EITC Warlord, we can blend into the enemy without being attacked (I hope). Pirates with other vessel would see this person's Warlord with a pirate name, making our ships look like Pirate Ships to other pirates and part of EITC since using EITC Warlord.

But the warlord costs a little too much, you can buy 2 war frigates with the warlord's price! And warlord is a war frigate, unless you can fire explosive and firebrand boardsides it doesn't tempt me to buy it... :dancetl6:

Guys, think about this.

Instead of being able to offer ship customization, they just add a bunch of variations on the current ship classes.

Variety of broadside guns, armor etc. but they are pre-made catalog types. The Warlord probably has Firebrand or Explosive broadsides, and you pay for that.

Unfortunately, because there's no cap on these ships, and in the release notes it didn't say, "With the arrival of six(I think) new ships".

This was probably an accidental hint.

Besides, one of the ships you can buy is a phantom. Seriously, a phantom? We can buy a skeleton ship? Something tells me it's too good to be true. Although, it would be cool if they stayed.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the dev team decided to offer new ships in lieu of ship customization, with all the bugs/glitches that could be introduced with things like cannon placement, etc. I'm guessing they'll throw in the ability to submit your own name for a ship when the new ships are released proper. Hopefully the wait won't be too long :D
