Custom Ship Names?

  • It would be sooo cool if you had an option where you could like call your ship the “S.S. Flogging Molly” for example and other ships could see that name too like and maybe like a little death notice of a ship,

    like “The S.S Flogging Molly has met a watery grave” (but have an option for that to appear)

  • Errybody wants the ability to name their ship, believe it, it's every captain's wet dream.

    And while many of us share the desire Rare seems to be cautiously tip toeing around it.

    God, how I wish this would be a thing... 1+

  • This topic has been beat to death, but hopefully the squeaky wheel will get the oil one day.

    They have to control it, to keep things family-friendly. Perhaps a list of pre-approved words that one can select from to make up their ship name. I certainly wouldn't expect them to allow people to type in whatever they want.

  • I like the death notice Idea a lot . How about a notice to the crew who sunk telling them who sunk them? I'll upvote for that idea. We just have to hope Rare gets the names rolling

  • Ship naming is in the works, however it is not high up on their priority list right now. Updates, patches & other content has their attention for now, but Joe & Co. have said in past dev update vids that this is something they will eventually get around to.

  • A ship 'death notice' would be a neat feature - heck, that could just be server-wide, as there are so few ships on a given server anyway.

    I think it would probably be too difficult to establish who (or what) gets 'credit' for sinking them, though. So many variables that could come into play, there.

    I think that they could do that; It would just be as simple as giving an option to report an inappropriate ship name, and trusting the community to help keep the seas clean.

  • @thetoxicvixen Seven Drunken Pirates. We're the Seven Deadly sins.

  • My crew and I have been waiting for this for a while. Only because we want to name our ship "Jenny" or "Jennay" because of Forrest Gump.

  • @bootmaclir Seven Deadly Sins themed merchandise you can buy at the shop (like Meliodas’ broken sword)

  • @thetoxicvixen I think we so need this idea mate so good please keep coming with thoughs ideas

  • But they aren't steam ships, so you can never ha e the S.S. anything. Sorry to have to crush the dream.
