Removing unnecessary stuff

Flares are actually useful. Too many times players fire a White flare and all I have is Red...so i can communicate and ends up with me running or them running.
and what do you mean Remove Traps? The Beartraps? Nooooooo! I find them tricky to find anyways, they use to spawn a lot more.

@kianonboard said in Removing unnecessary stuff:

@burnbacon not everyone uses them though, I rarely see anyone use them

Not everyone using them does not mean they are without use, and removing them does no one any good other than mild sorting convenience, and does those who do use them a lot of... not having the ability to use them any more!

If something does nothing for you in particular doesnt mean those of us who signal or use them for shadow skeles are better off not having them for your sake of "just cause I dont use them"

@kianonboard

Just had 5 random ships use them, just sailing by. If it isnt fireworks its a Flare. White flares are usefull to light up a Night time Island.
and went to Reapers to lay some traps and someone already set up shop :P

"One man trash is another's treasure" Just because you dont like them, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt. They aren't used 100% of the time, heck one could even suggest removing Fishing since I never seen anyone fishing as of late, Remove Outpost at Devils Roar, nobody goes there :/

Flares are used when attacking skelly ships at night that contain those skellys that require light to kill.

Traps are fun for planting at Reapers and guarding your ladder.

An unnecessary item I'd like to see removed, is how paintings and trinkets on your ship have to be reset all the time. Is it really necessary?

I actually use flares quite a lot. When I know I have to get close to a ship, don't want to wait but don't want to sink them either, I use a flare to let hem know I am there and that I am peaceful (or at least pretend to be). It works 70% of the time with either nothing happening or a friendly interaction - the other 30% is either instant panic scuttle by the other ship or a fight.

There have been lots of times where I didn't have anything but the 2 base flares on me.
