I think yes and no, so i put maybe. Here is why i WANT them:

1) If ye are looking for a ship for a quest, you could pop out that telescope and search the sea for it.

2) I like what hey 210 said, that you could see enemies on the ships. You could use a telescope to see where the ' special ' part of the ship is, such as the Captain's Quarters, AMMO HOLD ( full of gunpowder ), ect., ect.

Here is why we shouldn't:

1) If you took out a telescope, it would more than likely make you stop everything you are doing to look through it.

2) Telescopes would make the game very easy, making it so you could find ships you need without using the arrow.

I think i have talked enough, so thanks for listening!

I think they should be in the game, but you would have to plunder them from people, like the new wepons.

It would be really cool if we had a telescope. For example, I think it would be great that our camera view changes into a up close view and looks like we are looking out a telescope. The problem is though, what exactly will we be looking at when everything is layed out on a map?

I think telescopes would be cool, maybe make a crows nest so a crew member can climb up and search while you drive. I think this would be fun for SvS when the ships run off and trying to repair to locate them, maybe make it so they can't leave the nest right away so it has a bad thing ( can't get to cannon right away in battle ) to go with the good ( being able to find them )

lol guess that would depend, if you have a crew that fills all the cannons on one side plus one you can have somebody up looking without any real penalty but was just trying to make it fair for both sides, Fine ditch the cannon delay

Well given the fact we can't see enemies on other ships anymore.. and we have a light that guides us to far off objects at sea.. I don't really see the point of this.

I said, maybe. It depends on if they give us a reason to need them in the future. If not, it just seems like a waste of their time when they could be doing other things at this time.

I do not really know, I do not see a real point to it. The only thing that this might bring is lag. But thats all I can think of. As Sven about the enemies and the Great quest light from above, ( Lol) There is now real point too it.

So I put other as not really needed.

I don't really see a use for it, but I said maybe just in case it did more than I think it would on this game.

I think yes, so we can see long distances to find ships. And the crows nest would be useful, too.

...its called a spyglass..and I voted maybe, as I prefer to see the crows nest also....but if the spyglass worked...mebbe give just the captain a wider view..or an "engage" feature like focus it on a ship hes chasing sose we don't all run around searching for it...would be nice.
