Glider

This would be as awesome feature on the private servers if/when they ever become publicly available.

Could also be a way to add aerial cams to private servers that don't have progress for people's events.

Gliders are currently a popular mechanic in many exploration adventure games, and I will admit gliding around after jumping off of Galleon's Grave would be fun. I just feel that if they glided far enough to reach another island it would be too OP, and if you could jump off your crow's nest to board a ship it would just reinforce the boarding meta that already has new players begging for mercy. It also doesn't really fit into the pirate theme at all.

I unfortunately think it's potential harm outweigh the benefits of this feature as far as the game is concerned and don't really see it adding to the game.

They wouldn't be able to balance it in this game in a real way.

It's only a benefit that amplifies reward and has no risk based on how people attack/steal in this game. It would be very fun and very terrible for the organic environment production.
