Boss Ship Type 1: Regular Boss

This could just be like any Land boss, just ships. They would have more HP than the average version of the ship, and would deal slightly more damage.

Let's say a Navy Ferret has 1,200 HP (I know it really doesn't). A Navy Ferret Boss would have maybe double that - 2,400 HP.
This boss ship would be represented by a Flag symbol similar to a Flagship's, and would have a glowing red light around it, visible enough to be noticeable.
(This is the most likely idea to be madeinto the game, of the three I show)

Boss Ship Type 2: Battleship

This ship would be slightly larger than the regular ship (Think of a regular Navy War Frigate, and then the old Navy Goliath, for example). These ships would be a bit more rare than a regular boss ship, and can only be fought when you are Lv30 and higher, so as to avoid the new player fighting one of these.
The reason why the above should be needed is because these ships would only use Firebrand and Explosive. Depending on their level, and what the ship is, they would either use all Firebrand, a combination of both, or all Explosive.
They would also have a different name title - something that isn't Navy or EITC. Maybe S.S. or HMS.
(Least likely to be brought into the game)

Boss Ship Type 3: Skeleton Ship

This boss ship would just be an undead version of the ship the boss is - I.E. Undead Ferret or something. Of course, this would require an Undead version of all the ships other than War Sloop and War Frigate.

Those are my ideas. Don't waste your time saying they will be unlikely to be put into the game, because I know that. However, feel free to post your ideas, suggestions, changes and such.

Sort of unrelated, but I think that flagships should all have one boss on it. Like the captain of the ship.

Love the ideas!
Wait... BINGO! what if the boss ships were flagships and instead of regular enemies on them, there were bosses!
