I’ve posted a similar idea before, but I wanted to revisit it with some additional thoughts.
The effect that the skull of siren song puts on our ships is cool, but the same effect could apply to curses for our ships.
Defeat 500 phantom ships - Our ships could have a ghostly glow rolling across the deck.
Defeat 50 of each Meg and our ships can have scars that glow the color of which meg you’ve killed 50 times.
Destroy 100 siren statues with cannon balls and our ships can have stone embedded in it.
Destroy 500 gold skeletons with cannon balls and your ship can have gold embedded in it.
Destroy 500 ocean crawlers to obtain a similar effect as the skull of siren song.
Destroy 500 shadow skeletons with cannon balls and your ship will have black smoke emitting from it.
Defeat 100 ashen lords with cannon balls and have lava running down the sides of your ship.
And more.
Some of these requirements could be raised or lowered, I just threw numbers out there.
But adding a bunch of ship curses that are challenging to unlock will give us a lot to work towards, the repetitive loop of the game can get boring without a goal to work towards and this to me sounds perfect as long as the challenges are hard and requires a lot of time, some could be easier, but we need some really tough ones to obtain.
