Ive had times where I wish i could get into the game and send some kind of mass message to all other ships on the server simultaneously where ever they are across the sea. maybe suggesting a server alliance, or help with an achievement or commendation needing multi crews.
This would solve the common issue of ships not being close enough to use the speaker horn as well as them sailing away the moment they spot you from so far away its ridiculous to try and catch them.
IDK how it is on PC but for Xbox this is my dilemma.
So.. the IDEA would be a "Carrier pigeon" themed utility
there could be a box on the masts posits the ladder or somewhere else since the mechanics for repairing the masts is in the way but IDK i think it would be helpful instead of tracking each individual ship most sailing away or blowing you to bits before you can even start conversation.
and Im aware a way to do this is the ferry
but again Im simply saying it would be a cool convenient don't have to die first and wait, feature to have.
