SHIP IMPROVEMENTS:
captains cabin in back of all but the light sloop that can hold gambling tables for tortuga hold em blackjack liars dice and poker.
light sloop: no
light galleon: 1 gamble table
light frigate: 1 gamble table
sloop: one gamble table
galleon: two gamble tables
frigate: three gamble tables
war sloop: two gamble tables
war galleon: three gamble tables
war frigate: four gamble tables

you get to choose what kind of gambleing table you want in there.

you can also change in there.

you can not be attacked while one person is in the cabin. the ship cant move if one person is in the cabin.

you can also see your treasures in the cabin. the nine rouges would be hanging on the wall, etc.

there also would be below deck where you could see npc's manning the broadsides. and you could see the cargo crates or chests that you collected.

SHIPMATES POSSISIONS
if you have a crew, you assign them possisions. here they are

crowsman: goes up into the crows nest and has a swivel gun. automaticly tells you when an enemy ship is in range.
cannoneer: can shoot a special kind of ammo called dead mans shot that will rot away the enemy ship.
diceplen man: this is the only man who can kick someone off a ship or keel haul a character until the voyage is over exept for the captain.
carpenter: he can repair the ship in-voyage. kinda like the ship privateering. but not.
first mate: he can do all of the above and can kick people off cannons or teleport them to another cannon

SHIP TYPES
when you go to purchase ships, this should be the list you see:

LIGHT (start)
light sloop
light galley
light junk
light schooner
light galleon
light frigate
light brigatine
light endeaver
custom light ship
REGULAR (lvl 5)
galley
junk
schooner
galleon
frigate
brigatine
endeavor
custom ship
WAR (lvl 15)
war sloop
war galley
war junk
war schooner
war galleon
war frigate
war brigatine
war endeavor
custom warship
MASTER (avalible when you master sailing to lvl 40)
master sloop
master galley
master junk
master schooner
master galleon
master frigate
master brigatine
master endeaver
custom master ship

i hope you all like the ideas!

yes.. yes... YES! except increase the prices on those improvements. But your on a roll!

Aye, you are just full of great ideas, aren't ya? ;)

This is awesome! I would make one suggestion, add a bit more to certain things such as the bow of the ship. Skeleton, Mermaid is cool, Shark could be another such item, Whale even. A Wolfs head, Hawks head.

Something theming the ship so when you name it you can give it a real fun look. So let's say you named your ship Sea Hawk, give it a Hawks head at the bow and maybe blue sails. Something along those lines. Designing the ship to fit the name so to speak. That way the ship truly is unique as much as possibly.

Also I think new ships are in high demand, Junks and other such ships.

That would be good, but the prices are a little low, if this were to happen, all the prices would need to be in the thousands to limit the market.

I don't think being able to choose how many cannons you have is a good idea, but a lot of the rest is spot on. You're giving alot for me to build on meself: I'll update my threads soon.

Those are really good ideas i hope they add them

Good ideas!
Also what about the pirates skull for a sail?
Aren't there 13 pirate flags with skulls on them?
Of course i'm sure disney would think of those first.
But what about painting your ship?

Ex. A quest to make your ship look like a navy ship.
Get a sail from a navy ship then paint your ship like the navy ship.
Obviously putting out a long line of events to get the paint.

Nay mate! Flying ships are going way into Final Fantasy and I love those games but leave em out of me pirate games! IF you wana fly and be a pirate play Final Fantasy XII or Skies of Arcadia! :laughks2:

PART TWO: PRIVATEERING SAIL COLORS.

french: french flag

spanish: spanish flag

chinese: red with a lions head

american: old american with 13 stars

dutch: dutch flag

britan: brittish flag

bretheren: skull and crossed swords

alabama: confederate flag with lyrics to freebird! lol.



just kidding about that last one. lol.

The Brethren don't have their own colors each captain gets his own. So you should be allowed to design your own flag. Taking basic pirate flag images and placing them on a flag.

I like this idea, and it has a great potential, but, there is something that I do dread about this idea. See, you can't get level 40 sailing, but, you can get to 25, and the prices for cannons should be per each cannon. Then there should be different types of cannons, such as golden cannons, and elegant cannons, all kinds of them. But, I would also think you should be able to get Special Kinds of cannons from Special Quests. Such as some that boost cannon reloading and shooting speed, some that power up your shots, maybe even create a special side effect to all of your Cannonballs. Something like a Silver Cannon, a cannonball shot out of it will tear any undead ship up with great force. Probably not one of the best ideas to get many of these cannons, unless you have a special ship you use to sink undead ships. But, if you could have multiple cannons of different types, you may have a pretty good build for your ship. Just be sure you know what you're buying before you get it, or else you may pay dearly for it in teh future.

look at my new lvls, quests and, skills thread. as for the new cannons for quests, i'll add that to it later.

Can you get a discount for those ships? Lol but i do think that those improvements are extremely costly, and pirates arent normally that good at holding on to money

I just remembered the other day, i had fourthousand gold, and then two thousand mysteriously fell out of my pocket. I never found that gold again.

Wouldn't It Be Awesome If Our Ships had Cabins?
 

Wouldn't it? You could hold meetings in it. Im not sure what else you could do in the cabin, but it would still be cool. A captain's headquarters on the ship would also be awesome. What do you think?:)
