So I had an idea for a feature in game that allows you to record information about a play session you did, and save it in a Captains log to look at in game, show people in game, and show on the website. This concept uses Deep website integration similar to the overview page that shows you certain stats about you're pirate Career.
The game would track certain actions I perform throughout my session, these stats would be saved and uploaded onto a new page of the Website; ''My Adventures''. This page will show information of your 10 most recent lobbies. This means that if you can't immediately create your Log page, you can still play up to 9 other lobbies before the information is automatically deleted. It definitely would need to delete information after a certain time period otherwise that'd be far too much to remember.
The game would track statistics like:
- Gold Acquired
- Treasure Sold
- Ships Sank
- Enemies Defeated
- Commendations Unlocked, Both amount and which specific ones.
- Renown Gained
- Miles Sailed
It would also Display your Crew, your Ship Size, Date of adventure, and how long your adventure lasted. When it comes to crew, you would be able to select which of your crewmmates to feature if you have excess, such as if your teammate has to leave and you bring in a new person, you can decide which of them to put on, it wouldn't select this for you as that'd be annoying.
You would then select which of these statistics you wish to place in your new log page, as some times you may not care to display how many commendations you made if its not significant, but then some other times you may wish to show off how many commendations (or specific commendations) you unlocked.
There would also be a new feature where there is a new in game screenshot button, When you screenshot with this button, these images are also saved, and when you are piecing together your log page you could stick on some of these images to go with it.

Discover the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination. Lift your spirits with funny jokes, trending memes, entertaining gifs, inspiring stories, viral videos, and so much more from users.
Once you have created your new Log Page, you can save this to your log book. Once in your log book you can look at it fully made on your Captains Log website page and copy a link to your captains log and share it with others for them to look at your adventure. You also now have a Captains Log Book In game on your ship, maybe in that little draw on the Voyage table. You can take this book out and interact to read your logs in game, and even pick the book up and show it to other players.

Maybe you had an awesome 1v3 Ship Alliance fight over stacked FoTD loot, and you just managed to sink them all and secure all the loot. You could show off how many ships you sank, how many players you defeated, how much money you made, how much treasure you sold. Maybe you finally finished Legendary Thief and can put that on it. Maybe you blew one of the boats up with a mega keg, and you took a screenshot mid explosion to put on the Log. Maybe you had time to neatly organise your loot and get your crew together to take a shot of your massive loot pile. Maybe after the fight they came over and said GG, and you all got together for a nice group screenshot.
-
Maybe you found the infamous Shrouded Ghost, and you took pictures of you and your crew posing with it, or maybe just as it bit your boat, or just as you delivered the killing blow. You could also tag on your Commendation completion for killing it, that way both inside and outside of the game, nobody will ever question the authenticity when you claim to have defeated it.
-
Maybe you fought a really nice Streamer and after the fight you got together to take a commemorative screenshot with them.
There's so many adventures you could record with this feature and show for everyone to see. This'd also feel a lot cooler as you are making your mark on the Seas, You'd be building your own story of your own character, You have solid in game recordings of your fights and the epic adventures you undertook.
Thanks for Reading!
