Adding a small sail to the rowboat would allow for some interesting adventures. It would also saving a lot of stress on the fingers for those of us who have joint issues (Like This Guy).
I would also like to request a Mini Map be added. (A map that's (Only Accessible) when in the rowboat as an inventory map). Once you step out of the rowboat, that mini map is made inactive and hidden in your inventory.
When the mini map is active it (Only Shows Island Location and the Current location of your Main Ship) No Reapers Flags, No Faction Ship Levels or Positions.
Indication of faction level would be as normal in the rowboat, by (Sight Only).
The sailboat could remain as an over world found element. The sail can be damage and fixed with 2 wooden planks. When damage its could act like a normal rowboat
By adding these upgrade to the rowboat it would lead to many new and exciting elements allowing crews to divide and conquer. Or solo players putting their skills to the test in a smaller vehicle without weapons.
