Wow, where do I start? There are a lot of improvements to the game I'd like to suggest. Some perhaps might be doable, others . . . well this is Disney afterall . . . I'd like to see , but may not go with the theme of keeping this game accesable to the casual gamers and families.

The best feature so far for POTC is the ability to crew ships. In addition to helmsman/ship's pilot and gunners I'd like to suggest a few more things for the crew to do:

Lookout - Situated in the crow's nest, this person has the ability to determine with increasing accuracy the possibility of ships carrying high value or special cargo. Targeting assistance - Focusing in on a target (via levels of spyglasses) this person is able to assist the gunners with a targeting reticule that shrinks with experience and with every shot from the gunners. Ship-to-ship signaling. Ability to raise guild colors (flags).

Engineer - Person has the ability to do minor repairs (up to perhaps 75%, the rest would have to be done at the shipyard). Also has the ability to put out fires before they spread, assist in tacking manoevers, and assist in increasing sailing speed.

I'd also like to see the following elements introduced (most likely best done in an entirely new area(s)):

Shipbuilding, player driven economy, ability of guilds to establish pirate ports/bases . . . .
