I think a portable storage chest would be a great addition. Essentially it’s a portable rowboat chest that can carry 20 stacks of any item. It couldn’t be sold and would sink with the ship unless you were holding it at the time. It would also anchor itself to your ship so an enemy player can’t take it off the ship. They can still loot it like a normal chest but can’t take it with them
Portable storage chests
@coffeelight5545 What's the point? You have barrels for supplies and virtually unlimited space to store treasure, even on a sloop.

there already are portable chests that can store 50 of an item. although the enemy team can pick these up and steal them. wich is good, it would be stupid if it magically anchored itself to your ship
You can only find them by chance of if you are lucky enough to get a mission. If you could pick them up anytime from a merchant, I would be happy with that

That would defeat the whole purpose of having to scrounge for supplies.

Actually, it wouldn’t. Whenever you collect a crate from the merchant, it’s always empty. The merchant doesn’t give you a full crate, you have to find the resources yourself. Occasionally you may find one on an island by chance but it’s usually halfway full if you are lucky
@coffeelight5545
The time it takes to gather resources, and the limited amount of resources one can carry (even with a wood/banana/cannonball crate), is a way that the game puts players at risk.If you could just carry stacks of 20 everything plus your inventory with you, it reduces the time to gather supplies, and gives you portable resources that you otherwise wouldn't have.
It's a bad idea.
I like this idea. Being able to buy empty crates from the merchants would be nice. It will make gathering supplies easier (instead of running back to the ship every time you carry 5 bananas) and it can be used for battles as well. Bring a banana crate with you to a cave where skeletons spawned, or put a crate of cannon balls on the deck, ready for battle.
However, I think they should act like normal chests. Other crews should be able to board your ship and take them. There needs to be some risk involved.
Also, maybe reduce the amount of supplies each crate can hold. Maybe 5 stacks each. I want to fill my ship with crates!
