One of my biggest letdowns when the game came out a month ago went something like this,
"Wait, you're telling me I can't choose the color of my ship and sails?!?"
Don't get me wrong, the different designs they currently have are neat, but you don't get to pick any colors! What happened to all the colors from the alphas and betas? What if we just want a green ship? Or just a black ship? Or perhaps a red ship with white railing?
I think we should be able to buy paint/dye for our ships and sails. AND I think we should be able to individually paint/dye 5 different parts of the ship.
1-Hull
2-Trim
3-Railings
4-Sails
5-Secondary Sails (and Sloop Canopy)
This feature could even be made more interactive than the current ship customization chest. How?
Yeah. The bucket.
When you buy paint/dye, the shipwright asks to fill your bucket. Then ... TADA
Your bucket is filled and ready for you to bring over to your ship to paint.
Heck, if they added a paint brush you needed to buy to paint your ship, that could be even better. They already have the art for the brush laying around somewhere from that announcement they did a couple months ago.
So me hearties, which of ye desire to have yer ships painted!? Can I hear an AYE?
