I was thinking about how SOT could have a crafting system Rare like to keep things balanced so they is no power advantage but I think this system could work or have other ideas added to the concept.
First of all, getting to the crafting menu, I would imagine this to be like selecting your instrument, shovel, telescope except it would (for example on xbox) bring up another slider menu where you can press LB>RB to select different things to build.
I would like to imagine that most things you could build would be built using wood but I suppose you could expand it so you could find nails and stuff.
Having the blueprints for Pirate Legends would be a good idea because you could make the blueprints unlockable per Athena level you gain/gained (which isn't really that hard to get to these days)
For the crafting system items:
- Repair your rowboat
- A set of wooden swords to fight your friends on islands with but have them so you can't equip them. You can only pick them up and use them so that would mean if you don't take it on your ship with you. Then you've lost this item and someone else can take it.
- A zipline hook by this I mean something you can place in the ground and if your crew mate can land a shot on it, it allows you to interact with it and zipline down it. (maybe have it so you can carry one item while zip lining too and when you hit the bottom the line snaps, players can also shoot at it to make it snap and you would fall and take fall damage as you would normally) it would make stealing a whole different ball game.
- Chests having the ability to create your own chest using 5 planks would be awesome.
- This one I'm unsure about but pirates we're known for carving small totem type things and statues out of wood. (as far as i know) so to make it less boring on your ship if you have this 'statue' blueprint unlocked you could stand with crew mates on the way to islands creating wooden objects which could also be sold for different prices to a vendor. This could go by quality that you've done, have a little dagger which chips away at wood, the status be random each time. and maybe on certain parts you have to pull or something so the surface doesn't rigged.
- Boomerang or slingshot.
They is many things I guess you could do but these are some suggestions. I doubt anything like it would get implemented but always worth suggesting.
