Fetch me some Rum below deck!

[Captain Jessie Hawk]

That's right I said below deck! I've seen area's where people wish to store their stuff somewhere else and that you'd need a home or something, as fun as that'd be why not make the home your ship?

Obviously the players items can not be stolen (Unless you did a major PvP change which I doubt would happen.)

But hey think about this, you bored a flag ship! You need 5 barrels of Rum for some guy on Tortuga! Well instead of sinking five ships with the threat of being sunk yourself at such a low level, go out with a crew! take on a flag ship and head below deck! Search their hold for rum, for gold, for gems, treasure all over! Loot their ship up, then sink it!

If your lucky maybe you can steal some ammo so you don't waste all that hard earned looted gold on new ammo when you put into port!

Sure boarding a vessel and taking on some soldiers is fun, but wouldn't it be fun to explore the whole ship, take on the ships Captain, see if you can free people in the brig! Or even talk to those guys you capture in your own brig before you maroon them, maybe take what they have on them any valuables so you can sell it for gold!

On your own ship in the Captains cabin you can change your outfit so you don't have to go to a store and do it. You can see an NPC crew that mans the broad side guns while you sail obviously this would have to be while your not the one sailing (or in a stopped position.)

I think it could just add so much more element to the ship based fighting. I love the game a lot but let's face it, combat is pretty much the same thing over and over, at least try and change it up, if you give an inside to a ship that would mean people would want to board all the ships. This would also change up the way fighting ships worked. So instead of that one person that comes in at the last second and downs your target before you can get to her, they'd have to board her. It would make them think twice, if they aren't strong enough to take on the crew physically they won't go for a strong target that the slower war galleons are going after.

A sloop can have one below deck and cabin And you add more decks and rooms to each larger ship. This could also bring about the chances to see new ships possibly?

I'd love to own a Junk myself

I hope someone likes this idea!
