With curses introduced for Pirates, what about ship curses?

    I'm loving the new cuses system. Being able to put a curse on your pirate expands the customization even further, this can be easily expanded further and I se lots of people who are as excited as I am to see where this will go next.
    But I was thinking: What about the ships?

    Wouldnt it be cool to have a cursed cosmetic shot for our ship? Maybe the ship's on fire or maybe it gives off a ghostly glow. It could even like water is dripping off constantly etc. This would often make the ship more visible but it would also give more customization and I for one would love this.

    @hynieth Given the nature of CC's... be careful what you wish for.

    Maybe these could become a gold sink, you have to buy a curse whenever your ship sinks. This would be different than the current curses, but I think it would be cool

    That would break immersion, as it breaks the lore... Pirates don't pay for curses in lore, lol.

    @hynieth a ghostly glow...you mean like the ghost sail and flag? You mean like the year 1 legendary sail? The eyes of the hungering one figurehead? The horn of the legendary unicorn?

    Almost everybody is putting out the lights when starting the game, so nobody see's them so easy...and you want the whole ship to burn or glow? No need for that, curses on the body are enough...

    @hynieth Very nice idea! Hopefull to see it in game.. But why not a real curse? Like ship faster but sails ever open, or high damage Cballs but fragile ship 😂

    I guess I was thinking of it more like a potion for your ship that you pour on it.

    In what way does that make it lore friendly? Pirates want to avoid curses mate, because lorewise, curses actually have consequences... They're not cosmetic in lore, they're very real, and very scary. :P

    There's literally curses in the game right now. And what you say doesn't work. All the Skeletons, skeleton lords, Mermaids, Gold hoarders and Order of Souls Ladies are cursed. Even the normal pirates are kind of cursed to roam the same sea of thieves forever since they can't die and can't get out.

    Have you read the lore?

    In what way does anything you said debunk what i said? There's no clashes or contradictions here...

    The Order of Souls curse is a direct CONSEQUENCE of people using kraken ink to "see beyond this world", it makes you blind.

    The Gold Hoarders curse is a direct CONSEQUENCE for handling a cursed coin, and this curse grows in intensity based on how greedy you are.

    Skeletons are produced when a pirate harbors WRATH in their hearts.

    Pirates aren't cursed to roam the seas forever, btw... The ferryman allows them to return as many times as they want, pirates can choose not to return... This lore was revealed in the Fate of the Morninstar tall tale. AKA it's not a curse, it's a blessing, indefinite life, basically.

    Yes, i do read.

    Just because they ARE cursed doesn't mean they would pay money to BE cursed. -.-'
