This idea I have, will change a lot of things in SOT for the better. My idea comes is various parts, please bear with, but i think you will be impressed with this.
Ship interiors are customisable!
How does it work?
Ships are our homes. We spent a lot of time on them, a LOT of time. Before you join a session there is an option menu where you can choose the layout of each ship type.
You teleport to a ship in an offline cell and you can decorate the interior of your ship kinda like in the Sims.
Place a bed and other various furniture. Move the Brig or remove it altogether. Its your ship and therefore your rules on what goes where.
Once you are happy, save and exit back to the main menu and join a session.
You can save up to a dozen different layouts and when you are in the game, choose them from the ship builder in a new cosmetic chest.
What will this do?
It will for one, make every ship in the Sea of thieves more unique. Every ship will have its own furniture, layout, hiding places for loot or players etc. It will make boarding more fun, more dangerous too with carefully planned placements of furniture, Closable doors etc.
Furnish it yourself or choose a pre-defined layout. Save up to 5 different setups for quick easy access at the ship builder.
When you load in and join a session with other players, a random players setup for the ship is chosen but you can change it just like cosmetics.
It will allow you to remove the unusable Brig on the Sloop too, or remove it on other ships too. (Be careful if you do though as because it disables the brig function until you choose a config with it.)
Whilst in ‘Furnish mode’ you can see all possible places holes can be punched into the ship of hit. It means that it will help you place furniture sensibly so you dont accidentally make it impossible to get to where a hole is to repair.
Micro transactions!
A nice little way to show support for Rare, They can release really cool looking furniture that will then give you access to it when in ‘Furnish mode’ offline. Course there will be furniture for free you get and can earn through commendations, but exclusive ship interior furniture is able to be bought too.
Every ship you see is now unique.
Looks the same outside but inside, well, its now home.
