Buying Ships or Renting Ships. Have your own ship suggestion/prediction.

  • Onyxhill

    The devs mentioned that the next update will be about having your own ship. This could lead to countless problems like unbalancing the game and such.

    So here is my suggestion:

    To resolve this issue, simple add the Rent button on the main menu screen instead of Galleon or Sloop.

    You would have to chose between RENT A SHIP or SAIL WITH YOUR SHIP.
    Why is that? You SHALL NOT have advantages by having your own ship, it cant be faster or stronger then the actual "free" ships because this is a horizontal progression based game.

    By sailing with a rented ship (Galleon/Sloop), you would earn less gold than with a owned ship. This is the advantage that makes everything worthy without compromising balance.

    Rented ships are complete, with all the upgrades, all the cannons, with the rowboat and maximum resource stock capacity. Owned ships must be upgraded, with expensive upgrades.

    You could chose to buy between 3 expensive types of ships, a small, a medium or a big one.
    Each one with small layout/design variations.

    Tell me, wouldnt this make your gold a lot more valuable?

    Would you guys like to see this implemented?

    Opinions please.

    @onyxhill when is this happening

  • UnbrandedLeek0

    they've already stated there not going to be upgrades to make things better than others only cosmetic, this system will most likely be like a home base situation so you don't have to waste res while you go offline and come back just to collect cannonballs and that.

    @unbrandedleek0 I guess you didnt get it right

  • Onyxhill

    @roughleech03117 It was simply mentioned, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYpPbexHmig&t=4m32s (Its already timed atm he says it)

    "...because we know that players want at some point, after launch, own ships and that will be one of the updates we will be rolling in post-launch."

    Why is that? You shouldnt have advantages by having your own ship, it cant be faster or stronger then the actual "free" ships because this is a horizontal progression based game.

    that is what you said and what i said they aren't adding anything in the game that is a upgrade of something else everything is equal in speed and stronger its all cosmetics so if you have "rented" or owned ship wouldnt make a difference other than your entitlement of a ship.

    @unbrandedleek0 "You shouldnt have advantages by having your own ship" yes, I said you SHOULD NOT have advantages. If you read the entire post you will realize I talk about other type of advantage that does not affect combat at all.

    I think the ships are fine as they are, just a few extra kinds of ships to make the game a bit more variable, i think making ships better by paying will un-balance the game, more customization definately, but not making it stronger for gold (pay2win). if you want strength? get the larger ship with more cannons, u want speed? get the smaller ship, the game is even I think keeping everything cosmetic is a good idea, then it depends on the skill of your players, not the amount of gold they have. get different shaped ships, different sizes, different colours, even customizable sails, shapes of sails, but keep them even. example: a galleon vs a galleon with dragon wing sails and a dragon shaped hull, same speed, same strength..
