Trading system? could it work?

  • I would like to have a trading system in the game with other players, depending on the type of resource you need, and be able to make deals with other crews. I think something like this would improve the community. It's my opinion, i can be wrong, what do you think? Comment other ideas that could be better ^^. Thank you!

    Sorry for my english :)

    I feel like there aren't enought resources that you could trade. Maybe in the future when they add more stuff to the game or in a future expansion if they ever planning making something like that.

  • I made a post called 'Guild Chests' recently that added a trading element to the game without adding a trading system. Its just a special type of chest that gains value whenever it passes between crews and earns gold for all of them when it's sold at a outpost.

  • So this is an interesting thought but the way the game is designed it is sort of already in the game right? You could try and communicate with another crew and trade goods with one another by withdrawing and depositing resources on each others ships just like any pirate crew would in "real-life". The game relies on the social aspect of fun and the freedom of allowing the players to make their own decision by communcating with each other. By introducing a pure trading system the players no longer rely on that channel of communication between crews but the system instead.

    I think it is those unwritten verbal "contracts" that make the game much more interesting and pirate like. Do you trust the other crew to keep their end of the deal? Do they backstab you after getting what they want?

  • So with this. It could open a whole new set of game play aspects. Or it couldnt, depending on how far it was taken.
    I.e. trading goods could be promoted by current business needs on various posts, which could also lead to "jobs" for the roaming pirate.. both on land and at sea. Which could lead to a whole new player driven market.
    Or.... it could just be trading.
    And I'd love either scenario
