Fleet System + Ship Naming

    No pirate ever had just one ship. No, they had many!
    Imagine Fleets being SoT's Clan system where you and your friends can fly under the same flag. Your emblem would appear as the middle mast flag like the shark hunters, jolly roger, etc.
    The real purpose is so you can have 2-3 ships sail as a fleet to conquer the oceans and flank forts or enemy ships to get the upper hand. It's add for me fun and more challenge as you avoid a British Imperial Navy type faction with your chests of loot. Imagine the open sea battles as one fleet takes on the next over control of Thieves' Haven and the treasure stashed there. Players could even make alliances with them for protection.

    Also, why not allow ships to be named? Everyone has a name they'd call their ship. So why not allow non-offensive names to be implemented and shown on the sign above the captains quarters? It's already there, just let us throw a name up there

    Ship names are likely coming if the nameplate above the captain's cabin is any indication. As for fleets, no - there's only 5 ships per Sea, so...

    6 ships per sea, Joe Neate called it the “magic number” where u dont see ships too much but u see them enough

    @patriot-pants The only way fleets would work is if they made a separate PVP game mode(which would be really cool), that pit equal teams of 3-4 galleons against each-other. Now that I say it, they should honestly make this a priority. This would be tons of endless fun, and should be really easy for them to build.

    No, they don't need to make it a priority. The game is already PVP and also already allows for the so-called "fleets" you guys want, but you have to work for it by socially engaging other crews (and keeping the peace). So tell me - how skilled are you at diplomacy?

    @galactic-geek I say it should be a priority because I would be a massive boon to this game with very little work on Rare's part. I dont want fleets. I said that the only way it would work is in a sort of "team deathmatch" game mode. Having it in regular servers would ruin this game for alot of people.

    "So tell me - how skilled are you at diplomacy?"
    I'm not. I have a VERY hard time not shooting people that aren't on my crew lol

    @patriot-pants if I had to place a bet, we are probably going to be able to name our ship once "Cursed Sails" arrives in July. Also the idea of being able to befriend crews could be really cool. Maybe be able to get a percentage of coin when a different crew cashes in their treasure?
