Flare gun & Tavern improvement

    So been playing a while and had some ideas for things to add:

    Flare Gun
    Shoots a red flare directly upward
    Pros:
    Allows you shipmates to locate you on some of the larger islands at night
    Helps against Shadow Skeletons
    (Maybe shows your location on the treasure map?)
    Cons:
    Others know where you are
    One shot then needs more ammo from the box
    Not a weapon

    Liar’s Dice Table in the Taverns
    Make use of one of those empty tables in the Tavern; players from all different ships can meet up and gamble doubloons in this simple dice game. As you can’t rob doubloons off other players, this would promote less spawn killing, as players have to cooperate to play this game.

    Ahoy mate!

    We're looking forward to seeing some form of gambling added to the game in the coming months [the sooner the better].

    Your idea for a flare gun is good as well, but even if they do not implement it, i'd recommend shooting a blunderbuss directly up into the sky - it almost works the same. :)

    These both sound like great ideas to me and would add depth to the game.

    maybe add the option that if your opponent kills you, you win by default. and if someone else kills you, the wager is refunded. It would stop people from killing players at the gaming table or at least not give them any good reason to other than being a jerk.

    I'm for it. Sounds like a good idea.

    Only will work if Outposts become Safe Zones. Some players will find it hilarious to kill people playing at the table. Looking for people to play or waiting, you'll get shot, boat sunk spawn off island and have to come back etc etc.

    Unfortunately most people will do it because they can be a jerk. They don't need a reason.

    @dragonsire2016 it will stop your opponent or a member of their crew from killing you at least. and that's something.

    Example we are playing a game and one of my crew kills you. You are awarded my wager. I get angry and vote to brig them so we can continue the game. It would actually be a neat mechanic only it won't work with a sloop crew. The brig part at least.
