I feel like you should be able to buy wood, cannon balls, etc. In a shop. And idk maybe use gold or add a new currency to buy stuff. For me atleast this would help alot instead of having to spend 10 minutes stocking up your ship to do a reapers emissary.
Item Shop
@vloqqy That would create a problem. For example. You are doing a fort and destroy an attacking ship. Currently when they spawn they have limited supplies giving the defending ship breathing room. If that ship is simply able to spend a few coins (which many have millions) they can simply throw wave after wave of fully armed and supplied ships at them until the defender runs out of supplies with no chance to buy supplies. At first glance being able to quickly restock sounds great especially when first loading in to get to gaming. But when you think about the unintended consequences it becomes clear it would cause a significant problem and solve only a minor inconvenience when first loading in. That's a no for me.
Ronin puts it perfectly. Eliminating the need to search or pirate for supplies removes the most important yet basic strategy portion of the game. Think about it no more a need for barrels anywhere and now no more a chance to run through kegs or find rare fish, and what about the glowy stuff? Might just as well make the sails always full of wind too.
