I think it would be cool if we had a radar tracker on our ship, and could shoot tomahawk missiles from Mermaid's hideaway all the way to Fletcher's rest.

And to counter that you could have pets with chaff and flare systems that would confuse the missiles and make them go off-course. You wouldn't have to control these, they would just pop them at the right time.

All of this could be useful in maybe an offline mode. You know, one where I could play without other randos from the internet, and just include friends if I wanted to? Totally not a PvE mode... just like a "Sea of Friends" mode, if you will.

And like, we could have purchaseable ship upgrades. Like maybe you could upgrade to an aircraft carrier so you and 20 of your friends could fly FA-18 Hornets for strike missions over certain islands. It would be really expensive in game, so maybe it could be an emporium thing.

That would be dope.

i hope for the love of the maker you are joking

I forgot to mention that the JDAMs you would arm your strike aircraft with would be purchasable from Duke at the tavern.

So basically you’re admitting to everyone you’re a troll in a public forum. Nice job.

Good idea - we could have trolls that live underneath bridges. Like in the Witcher 3, and they could have decisions that you have to make and then if you kill them they could drop Phoenix Downs so that you could revive yourself if you get killed in PvP.

Ooh! Socketable gems that let you cast magic spells, too!

(OK, that's actually not the worst idea)

Ooh, is that a Dragon Age reference I spy? Respect.

That's all fine and good, but what do you think about a minigame where you challenge Flameheart to a surfing contest? It could have the "Totally Tubular" achievment, and the reward would be a '48 Woodie that you could use to drive around on islands while you pick up loot in your private server?

Dude, if we could get robot pets, that would be cherry. You could have a protocol droid pet that automatically goes to nearby player ships and parlays with them, convincing them not to attack... or even better, if it reaches the enemy ship, it automatically puts you into PvE mode that way you can't be damaged until after you dock at and leave the nearest outpost. But if you drop your emissary flag it resets and then you can be targeted by the guided missiles but only if your crewmate doesn't have a pet with countermeasures, which would be like a cat holding a flare or something.

Oh, really? Well, I'm not surprised I missed it; I haven't seen a Star Wars movie since 1983.

Speaking of 1983, I'm surprised that we don't have more costume options, like brightly colored half-sleeve sport coats with shoulder pads and deck shoes with no socks.

Seriously, who wears socks with sandals?

I want a new weapon: The Portable Cannon. it goes over your shoulder like a bazooka and shoots cannonballs like a normal cannon.

What is this post? I've never seen a more random placement of words and thoughts in a post. I'm confused yet intrigued while feeling like I have been beaten to death with the business end of a trolls club!

I don't see how that fits into the theme of the game at all.

I would argue that we should be able to use planks to build trebuchets that we could launch pigs from. Maybe we could use caged snakes to poison the pigs and then launch plague pigs at ships as they pass the island.

Or use our lanterns we got from the well of souls to curse the pigs and then launch them - like lightning strike pigs and sharknadoes!

What do you mean? These are bona fide gameplay ideas.

Speaking of Star Wars, I happen to be a huge fan of Star Destroyers. Can we get the option to outfit our galleons with Turbolasers instead of cannons? I hate the long arcs for distant shots and would love to just blast other ships 3 islands over with a straight line laser blast!

We, the Germans on holiday 😅

My idea is a fishing only Server, because I am tired of fighting skele ships and pvp people ALL the time.

Rare should listen to us. I will rage quit SoT if the next update doesnt bring surfing with Flameheart.

My man!

ok then

Yea and a hoard of rats as a pet because these skeleton forts are way to hard to do. So you could just send your hoard of rats after the skeletons an they would one hit kill the whole fort. And the boss would drop his fort key and run in fear.

@vin-the-rat Yeah thats a dope idea. Also, would be cool if we could alliance with the skellies at the fort and they would just give you the key for the loot.

@vin-the-rat
My most sincerest of appologies. I didn't mean to cause insanity.

Great idea! We need an insane asylum where people have to go after experiencing the unknowable horrors that can plunge from world to world through the sky.

I like this, rat hordes would be a great addition, but check bigdaddy's idea! Maybe after the boss drops the key he joins you for a shanty and is a friendly NPC on your adventures for a while?

@fast-bike94 said in Content Idea: Guided SSMs, Pets with Countermeasures, and an offline mode that's totally not a PvE mode.:

I love this idea maybe we could have a booster in the emporium aswell that we pay for maybe 10 usd and we could get 5 times booster on gold and xp because getting to level 75 is too hard now.

Dude. 5 times booster on gold and xp, plus a weapon buffs that do triple damage modifiers as long as you 360 no-scope your enemies while they're turning in at the safe zone!

Even better - you form an alliance, the skellies form a rebellion, clear the fort themselves, then just bring the loot to you!

@fast-bike94 said in Content Idea: Guided SSMs, Pets with Countermeasures, and an offline mode that's totally not a PvE mode.:

@vin-the-rat also maybe we could get some ciws on ships aswell with some 50 mm cannons. i also like the idea of maybe having some big boss that the whole server must form an alliance and fight like a ashen lord but 10 times bigger maybe walks around on the shores of gold

OK, I had to look up CIWS (lol). Totally in the spirit of the game, but it would have to shoot magic ammo that you can only acquire after defeating the Cthulhu sized boss and spending three days in the insane asylum that wisdom-eternal was talking about!

This is really shaping up to be a great game.

Plus - a portable, shoulder-fired cannon. I don't know why anyone hasn't brought this one up yet.

Part of me is intrigued by this post and the other part wonders if it will be locked.

It's all in good fun :)

But yeah to add on this game of the year title what if the sharks fired laser beams instead of bitting us? That'll be sick.

@fast-bike94 said in Content Idea: Guided SSMs, Pets with Countermeasures, and an offline mode that's totally not a PvE mode.:

@zombie-scown maybe to add to your idea we could have a second storm that has sharks that fly around inside the funnel and if they land on your ship they can dance around with you or maybe when they bite you they heal you.

Dude.... flying sharks that fire healing laser beams out of their eyes.

I think it's pretty clear that that's a compromise that everyone wants.

What have I stumbled into... 🙄

The problem with turbo-lasers is that they never hit anything worthwhile. At least we can say that the pistol skellies definitely weren't modeled from Star Wars stormtroopers....they hit everything.
