I have played sea of thieves for a long time. I wanted the game but I had a ps4 so I bought a Xbox just for this game and it did not disappoint. I love this game and there is no other like it. I have one suggestion that I think would be amazing if it was implemented. After playing sea of thieves for a long time I have noticed that’s it focused on fairness and skill rather than pay to win. For example we all start with every gun, the blow dart is not locked behind a achevment or level you need to use it. All the weapons are at your disposal as soon as you start the game. Another thing the ships everyone can have what ever ship they want the gallon is not a late game ship you unlock after grinding for so long yes you have to buy a caption ship but you can hop on a free one with friends. Here’s my thought add more ship types. What I mean is add different types of ships from different older time periods and different country’s. Just like the weapons you can use theses ships right away but each on has a positive and a negative like the sloop is small and harder to hit but it has less people and less canons. I would like to see ships with different ability’s. Right now we choose ships based of of player count on crew but I think it would be cool if we added lots of different ship types. For example a ship that was slower like the sloop but was a glass cannon. It could have a mortar in front but took damage faster and was a bit slow. Or a small ship barely bigger then the rowboat it would be fast, small, hard to see, and hit but have supper small cannon that did less damage then normal cannons. Another idea is a Viking long ship, sea of thieves has always had weird things happen to it what about a portal in the lore or a time travel devise that brought a Viking long ship. It would be the best ship for mobility for turning, it would not be fast but could turn quickly making nosing not a problem any more . Also give it a new type of “cannon” instead of cannon give it A arrow launcher that would target players rather then the ship. This would not only change the meta because now instead of dealing damage to the ship the “cannons” target the player instead and give it a ram so that it can actually sink the other ship. Another idea is a war gallan huge ships with even more cannons and less movability basically what the black pearl looks like in the game but smaller. This one is just so more people can play together. If you have 6 friends then this ship allows you to play all together. Make the ship have 3 decks so that there’s more places to take damage so it’s harder to prepaid with all those extra space. Also make the cannons do less damage so that the ship can still be power full but your not getting over run by cannon fire every time. Another ship could be one of those Japanese ships like the junk it could hold more players but be less movable and did normal damage. I feel like different ships like these would keep the game fresh we have had the sloop, brig, and gallon for a long time. We all know the meta for fight each of them but I feel if we add new ship types there will be a lot of fresh thing in the game. Also when adding them don’t do it month by month add a new ship every week or ever other week for that update because this will keep the game fresh. Players will just begin to hit the type of the ice berg with every new ship then boom another gets added causing people to want to play the game again. The three ships we have now can stay as learning ships but these more advanced ones offer new play styles. If someone prefers to have more movement and do less damage they pick the sloop but if they have 2 friends then they have to at least pick the brig to play together. This update will now allow players to pick ships based on strategy and skill rather then player count. Also it fits the theme of sea of thrives non of them will be locked non will need a achevment to get. They will follow the same pattern of skill over money or levels. I don’t care how long it takes I would love to see this in the game. Thank you for listening and taking time to read my comment. Also if this does not work could I get a explanation to see what would be in the way.
Ship types
You need to put in paragraphs so we can follow it a little easier.
New ship types would nice but blance issues are difficult to get right with the three we currently have so the juice would not be worth the squeeze.
I have noticed that’s it focused on fairness and skill
One or both is not...true.
a ship that was slower like the sloop but was a glass cannon. It could have a mortar in front but took damage faster and was a bit slow.
Why..would anyone play on this ship?
So far all these new ships have..Draw backs and or Abilities, compare to the original 3. So...what would you change for them?
Another idea is a war gallan huge ships with even more cannons and less movability basically what the black pearl looks like in the game but smaller. This one is just so more people can play together.
Thing about bigger ships with more players on them. Server space... If that ship takes say 2 ship space just to be on the server, Im not gonna stick around, switching servers because that few less ships to encounter.
They first have to increase player count, server space before allowing more pirates on ships if you wanna added big ships with a lot of players
Now if we switch it to, Ships have variants? Galleons have different appearances but still class as a Galleon with everything functioning the same, that be best. BUT...that be something else to deal with design wise.
This update will now allow players to pick ships based on strategy and skill rather then player count.
So far your choices are: Do you wanna sink faster or deal more damage.
