3 ideas for sailing

[kafufle]

I think sailing is missing some things that happened in the movies
first dingies
In the first and third movies you see jack in a dinghy I think not only would this be fun but it could be very useful also it should be always availible to all players even if you are just out of jail for sinking one you could without fixing it sail off with another one
uses could be
1.if you have lost all your ships you could sail off in a dinghy
2.you could even access them from a ship to access another in the fleet (my next idea)
possible stats

crewmates 1/2
cargo 0/1
cannons 0/1
speed 3/4/5
health 500
broadsides 0

fleets
my idea for this is if at sea you see another player ship you click on it and select add to fleet you could talk to the fleet using fleet chat and could keep track of them on your sea map
uses could be
1.talking to other ships in a giant battle you have organised against the navy
2.if you are looking for a particular ship and your friend finds it on a seperate ship you see where they are on the map and go to help them

powder keg
in the second movie you saw them use kegs against the kracken
in potco in a fight on a ship you could go up to a keg and it would say press shift to push overboard if you press shift you see your pirate pushing the keg overboard the keg floats towards the enemy and blows up either when you shoot it or it hits an enemy but the owner would have to buy kegs for his ships and in svs other players could shoot the keg when it is next to your ship
uses could be
1. against an enemy your cannons seem to do nothing use a keg to do some decent damage
2.against many ships launch a keg and when its in the middle of them shoot it to cause damage to all the ships

tell me what you think of my ideas improve on them and add your own.

I really like them....

there really cool the keg is a good one but like in a way that be good and bad cuz if the owner (and by owner i think u mean of the ship ) has to buy more then if the owner is sailing and a random person is just tossing kegs left and right for now reason or has a reason but is wasting all of them then the owner is broke. but if we could buy them like cannons and we were wasting them instead of the owner of the ships kegs then that be alot better Lol

Heh, hows about putting a mate in a keg to attack enemies on the ship you are battling. Sounds like fun to me.

yeah that would be better than the owner going broke but how would you choose when to launch them if it was like this

you are insane and how would you get from the enemy ship back onto yours? but yes it would be fun
i kinda expected more comments about something else if you have more comments about kegs or hopefully anything else please post them

Heh, by the time they actually put that feature in game, they would have enemy ship theft. 'Fraid it's disney, not Rockstar Games...

isn't that what we all consider the light sloops to be?

[angel 4ever]

the dinghies r nice but ya in a way a sloop is kinda like that but i do like the idea of sailing in a dinghie to diff ships sounds cute to me lol and for ur question about the kegs i would say the captain should have a new skill for the kegs to be unloaded and be able to still have ppl being able to use there own kegs to try to help

[kafufle]

okay now i have comments about all except fleets could someone now post a comment about fleets thanks

[Raikel]

Pretty much we could just crew a friend and hold a fleet. The sea map thing would be interesting, but it would only work til the next update, and Big D will forget to fix it if it were to get broken. Would be a good idea, but Big D doesn't go for good looks, or even realistic sailing.

Fleets are an interesting idea, but I just get a few of my guild-members, each of them gathers a crew, and we gather our ships together to begin the war.
