I have a few ideas that might be interesting to add to the hunters call, as it is very bare-bones right now.
First thing I'd add is an Emissary flag, would work the same as with the Reaper's Bones, you can get it from level 0. And the emissary rank increases based on the different types of meat on your ship, barrels, storage crates etc. At level 5 you are able to see Thunderstorms moving across the map, you gain a slight boost in speed when going against the wind, and your ship is more resistant to the storm's ability to turn your wheel around.
Second thing I'd introduce would be special Fishing Voyages, some of which would include a parchment of paper telling you that "a school of X fish has been recently spotted around Y island, fish up Z amount of said fish and bring it back cooked/uncooked" and you go there, and have a much higher chance to fish up said fish without the proper bait. The second type and a more rare type of voyage would be an animal hunting voyage which would say "go to X island, hunt down Y amount of Z animal and bring back the meat, cooked/uncooked" and said quests would give you more Reputation and gold for each piece of meat/fish you sell.
Third Idea would be a very special Emissary voyage which would either be a kraken hunt or a megalodon hunt. (This would also add different types of krakens into the game, like there's different megalodons) It would follow a similar formula to a regular fishing voyage but you'd have to go to a specific spot that would be written/shown on a torn piece of parchment, and when you would show up you'd see a few parts of a shipwrecked Hunters call ship, and then the fight would commence and the voyage would grant you a big payout of Rep and Gold for killing said kraken/megalodon and they would also have new drops introduced that would be sellable to the hunters call.
My Fourth idea is a Bait box/barrel on the ship, and a purchasable bait crate from the merchants alliance, also more bait types for the new fish types that'd be added into the game with this overhaul of hunters call.
And my Fifth and last idea for the hunters call update, add more aquatic animals to the game, like whales, dolphins, different types of sharks, sailfish, flying fish etc. to make the sea of thieves itself more lively. It would also make venturing down into the merfolk shrines much more atmospheric.
I Hope my ideas do get considered for the game.
