With the change to supply crates now being able to be sold for a paltry sum, I think it's high time we address the elephant in the room: for a pirate game, we are offered a sad amount of treasure chests to fill with our loot. We have to stumble upon them on our journeys, and if we decide to dive, we lose even our empty chests.
I think that we should be able to buy empty chests, either from the Bilge Rats or from the Merchants; it only makes sense that a pirate out hunting chalices and/or skulls would want a container to store them in, rather than littering their decks with random bones and jewelry. Price them in a manner similar to storage crates, and I feel it'd be a fair addition to the game: snag a chest before heading out to an Order of Souls specific Sea Fort, and have an extra chest to haul your loot around with it. They sell for a pittance as it is, so buying one for ~5,000 coins just so you can make fewer trips seems worth it.
On a similar note, I feel we need to be able to just simply dump our chests out; you see it all the time in pirate media, some swaggering swashbuckler kicks open a treasure chest and gold doubloons and jewels spill out all over the floor. Let us pick up chests and dump them out, which isn't as braggadocious but fitting for someone wearing a bucket on their head.
And finally, I feel like we should be able to dive with our chests, so long as they're open and empty. Our storage chests full of expensive fish and assorted oddities don't float off, so why would an empty chest? If the warnings about diving are ignored, have them float off as normal if they're closed, and if they're open with goodies, have the goodies just spit out and leave the chest where it is.
Anyways, here's a bad pirate joke to end it all.
A slice of banana pie costs $1.50 in the Bahamas.
A slice of cherry pie costs $1.75 in Grenada.
A slice of key lime pie costs $1.45 in Jamaica.
A slice of coconut pie costs $2.25 in Barbados.
These are the pie rates of the Caribbean.
