Some Suggestions

Hello fellow pirates,

I have been playing this game and chewed over some ideas I would like to share.

1. More Ships

I firmly believe that the Galleon is a ship too big for a three player group. At times I found it a bit frustrating, even with coordination. To get the ship working at its best it truly needs 4 people. I propose that a new ship be made. a two mast ship with 2 cannons per side. Something similar to a Caravel.

This ship would be absolutely perfect for a 3 person only crew, maybe even a 2 person crew.

In the same breath I think it would be nice to have choices on different Sloop types and Galleons as well. each one having unique shapes and looks.

2. Ship Customization

I think this was mentioned by one of the devs, but being able to customize the ships's wheel and cannons would be super great.

To add to the fun, having different types of cannon shot would be really awesome.

To add to the chaos, even incendiary and explosive shots. My goodness, imagine a fire on deck that would add damage and DoTs to characters??? Yes please.

3. Naming/Titles for Ships

This has probably been requested many times. I want to name my ship something. Be it the U.S.S Numnuts or Team Sea Slug. I understand, however, that people naming there ship can be hard because, undoubtedly, someone is going to name their ship something offensive. In the spirit of keeping things Kosher, people should be able to purchase per-fabed named in the ship store.

4. Pirate Flags

Also something I am sure is requested. Pirate flags! I want to make my own as I am sure everyone else does. Best way for this, me thinks, is have a choice. People can buy pre-fab ones, or make there own with a assortment of choices that they can put together themselves. My example of this would be how one can make their battle standard in Diablo 3.

Allow players to make their flags in a similar way. Perhaps one could make a case for one's ship and hull. This would add to ships uniqueness. One top of that, players can gain more unique colors, symbols, and textures by completing achievements!

5. Items

There is very little progression in Sea of Thieves. That comes with blessings and curses. I think there is an amazing idea to add a little bit of fun to items. Add attributes that come with positive and negatives, or if they are super rare/exepensive, only positives.

Lets say a shovel from the Gold Horders allows one to dig faster, but movement speed is slower. Shoes that make you much faster, but when you pick up a chest, you're always drunk! A sniper rifle that has cross-hairs, but is less accurate.

These are just some examples that I can come up with that would add more uniqueness and fun to Sea of Thieves.

6. More areas to explore!

This would be wonderful, more interesting and dangerous places to explore. Islands that are not just tropical, but deserts, mountain islands, lava founts, coral reefs, Temperate rain forests (I.E. Pacific Northwest like climate). I could keep going! This leads me to number 7!

7. Unique enemies.

There are unique skeletons to be sure. I like that, but how about Crabs, lobsters, killer crocs and evil parrots with eye patches?! Lets be honest, who doesn't want to see a murderous little baby hedgehog with a little baby pirate hat?

So cute and so deadly.

8. More Chests & skulls

Unique enemies you say? How about more unique chests and skulls. There is nothing better than the chest of a thousand grogs and the sobbing chest. Please continue to add more verity to these chests. On top of that, add unique skulls as well. Maybe one type of skull spawns skeletons on your ship!

9. Environmental Challenges

What changes you may ask? I love the craziness that comes along with a storm. It freeks some people out so much that they will completely go around these in order to get to their destination. Lets add more of these! Storms? Why not Cyclones? Water founds that push your ship into the air, whirlpools, Tsunami like waves that threaten to swallow the ship whole, even hail and snow storms that for players to shovel, bucket, and repair ships to stay afloat!

10. NPC ships?

What is the bane of all priates? The Marines! What woundn't be more interesting than running into Marines on the high seas and getting into shoot outs with them? Not cut out for the pirate life? Make a deal with the Marines and become a Privateer! There could be islands the Marines inhabit that has a nice health bit of loot to take, should one risk it. of course, these Marines would have loot on them as well.

I still have more ideas, but i'll stop here. Thank you for all the fun expirences so far. Keep up the good work and please
