Upgrade/Downgrade Captaincy Ships

  • With these newest updates. The captaincy is fantastic and I do enjoy sailing with the community.

    There's 1 Feature I feel that we are Lacking the ability to swap out your ship to a Bigger/Smaller Ship Size.

    If I was to go to load up a ship and made a mistake in not selecting a captain ship, imagine you could request to bring a captain ship into the server.

    The idea for bringing in your captain ship would be to go to the Shipwright. You could have the option to load in one of your Captain Ships upon request directly from the Shipwright instead of server hopping.

    Another thought on this idea. You've just loaded in as A Captain Ship as a Sloop only to find out you have another 1-2 people who wanna sail and you already have a full crew on your sloop. You could go to the Shipwright and Request to upgrade your ship from the Sloop to a Brig/Galleon to bring more friends onto your crew.

    This could work in the reverse too. You started as a Galleon and now you want to downgrade to a Sloop. You could go to the Shipwright and request to downgrade to your Captain Sloop.

    The other benefit is should you be on an alliance server and you wanna have the best results for all your community friends.

    All these Shipwright Ship Upgrades/Downgrades could run around the cost of 500,000 Gold at minimum to change your ship and remain on the server and not deal with the need of server hopping to any other servers.

  • Lacking the ability to swap out your ship to a Bigger/Smaller Ship Size

    Due to server limits it seems to be impossible.

    And frankly I don’t need to be in a battle or get ready to fight another sloop, they bee line for nearby outpost and switch too a galleon with there friends.

    No harm in simply selling what you got and starting a new ship.

    I agree. Though, I do wish there would be a way to "swap in" a like-to-like captaincy ship. You are on a normal galleon, go to the shipwright and "swap in" your galleon. Just did a couple hours on one person's brig? Go to the shipwright and vote to switch to the next player's brig.

    The other option could be simply a POV as an Example.

    "Your Captain Has Left The Crew" - Well, I wanna keep the ship going and I'd still like to sell at Sovereigns. You could simply go to the Shipwright and request to swap in Your Captain's Ship to remain as a Captain's Ship while you continue your adventures.

    I've had so many times where I've loaded up my Captain Sloop/Brig with Supplies. Well, I get tired and wanna get off. I have a whole community network of users who are about to hop on. I've gone to these users and said to them: "Hey! I'm about to get off SoT. But My Sloop is heavily stocked up on supplies. Would you like to use my sloop and ignore the need to go hunt for so many supplies right away? If you don't believe me when I'm telling you how much I have in Supplies. Please feel free to join me real quick and see for yourself and then tell me "Yes" or "No" that you're interested in taking control of my ship."

    My Friends have opted to accept my offer and use my Sloop. Well, Now it's not available for use at Sovereign... They could go to the Shipwright and swap out my ship for theirs and retain the supplies I had left them with.
