i want...

new ship types like mega sloop/frigate/galleon which are only useful for one job like mega galleon 25 cargo but only 6 speed and 4 cannons mega sloop 15 speed but 2 cannpns and 2 cargo and mega frigates 20 cannons 2 cargo and 6 speed (these are more useful in next idea fleet system) and elites which are only usefull with fleets elite sloop speed 20 cargo 0 cannons 0/1 elite galleon speed 4 cargo 40 cannons 0/1 and elite frigates speed 5 cargo 0 and cannons 30 completly new ships like schooner and brigantine with their own light normal war mega and elite forms and dingies 2 cargho 1 cannon (can fire in all directions except behind) 5 speed and 1 broadside but can be used to go between ships in fleet system as a lifeboat taking a small proportion of crew and cargo but you must get to it in 30 seconds can also go straight from land to open sea by going to the waters edge using an option in sea chest to launch dingie and sailing straight out where you can either take your chances in a dingy or boarding a ship by sailing up next to it and if the boarding permissions say you can boarding.

fleets this is like crews and could be used in the same way to make a fleet click on a ship and select add to fleet the crews captain is then asked whether they want to join the fleet if they accept they can leave anytime but losing any plunder in their ship given to them by a different ship on the fleet your own ships are automatically added to the fleet when launched. all the ships on the fleet appear on the sea map and you can transfer plunder between ships or sail between them yourself using a dingy. there is a fleet menu like the crew menu telling you the name of the ship the captain the fleet(the captain could set someone as acting captain if they had more than one ship)the fleet commodore and how much plunder it has you can transfer plunder either through dingies or using a menu and you could set an option for all of your plunder or all fleet plunder gets moved to one ship until it is full so you could use one ship as a loot carrier and another ship as the one that gets the cargo this is where the mega ships become useful when a ship ports the cargo is given to each member of the fleet and instead of the ship name a captain name comes up but there should be a time limit if he doesnt relaunch his ship to get booted off the fleet.

new jobs on ships (lookout in crows nest with telescope could buy better telescopes from shipwright or hoisting the sails to make the ship go slightly faster and turn tighter)

island speciality items this is already used on clothing where each island has a different selection if this were used on ships and tatoos it would be awesome

weather some none damaging weather (rain, snow) and some that could hurt you (lightning, Whirlpool)

dual wield weapons including mix and match like a dagger and a gun at the same time unless the weapon is two handed

some sort of banking system like burying treasure so you dont have to throw away good weapons

and thats all i can think of at the moment ill add more when i think of them
