The simple idea is this; A dock in each area where players can go and trade items with each other, this will include a new function to have a ‘Merchant’ box on the back of your ships Mast, where players deposit items for trade (Except chests, skulls And Merchant crates! You trade those by hand) And then you can choose to attempt to run or you can give them the loot, you could also trade voyages perhaps? This could cut down on the need to find a scattered player to trade with (and hopefully not get killed,) another thing that should be added is Open and closed brigs that only your crew could open! Imagine your on the seas and you capture a player and force him in a brig for ransom! Just a few thought!
