These are just a few things mainly a rowboat with sail, basically you could find a small broken sail on beaches or dropped from megalodons and krakens. P'raps even bought from shipwrights for a reasonable amount of gold. Once you have a broken sail you can bring it to any rowboat and repair it with wood. Now you have a solo/gunboat style boat that some people want but without the problems a new small ship comes with by being an rng. Maybe if you bring this sail/rowboat to a shipwright you could choose to spawn on it for that server instead of your regular ship. I'm not sure how sailing with this could work, either you have to be holding on to the sail or let itself do its thing like an actual ship. Moving along, more pirate focused cosmetics with bandoliers and such, most of the stuff added recently is the weird glowing stuff that most games nowadays seem to go for and personally I'd prefer to only have more immersive cosmetics but most don't agree with that. Something else could be the option to get rid of action prompts without turning off the hud completely. Lastly being able to see what cosmetics you were wearing when you change your pirate and choosing limits to what the ipg generates, for instance I'd like to set parameters like skinny, tan, and male, that way its still infinite and random but you dont have to sort through a bunch of unwanted characters.
These were just unsorted thoughts I had and was wondering if they were any good so let me know
Rowboat with sail and other random guff
I'd love a converted rowboat with sails, the storage crate seat would have a rudder so you could steer, the other seats would be removed for simplicity sake and a small cannon on the front would be the perfect tool for the solo sailor.
Something like this couldn't be attached to the back of your ship so this option would either have to be another adventure mode or a new invasion mode.
Adventure mode would work like normal although the new boat would have to support a respawn system, Invasion mode however wouldn't and upon the invaders death they are sent to a new island as if their ship had sunk. This however could lead to multiple solo-boats being gathered together so maybe they scuttle on a players death.
