Alright, so we all know how the ship customization works in SoT, and I think we can all agree that it's kinda limiting in choices. I think the customizations could use a bit of a rework. So here's what I was thinking.
- Separate sail colors and emblems. Essentially allow us to choose what blank sail color we want. If we want to add an emblem we can toss that on top of whatever sail color we choose. Also give us more colors and emblems to choose from!
1.5. Change individual sail colors and add emblems on each sail. Thanks @rattlyfob and @PurplePenguin04 !
-
Separate hull colors and emblems. So all hull colors in SoT have an emblem on it to represent the faction it belongs to. While this is great, I think we should be allowed to choose the color and design of the hulls separately. This would add more personality and open up for more hull designs.
-
Sail rips. So how this works is we can choose to put holes in our sails or patches to cover holes on the sails. This is purely cosmetic and provides no advantages or disadvantages. This would provide more personality to the ship and give it a more piratey feel.
-
Ship body types. So this is kind of a stretch, but the idea is to provide different hull body types. These are also purely cosmetic but essentially would make the Galleon/Sloop look a little different from the original bodies. Think Queen Anne's Revenge or the Flying Dutchman. Still Galleons, but they look more original. This option would be locked behind Pirate Legend to allow those pirates to feel more unique.
-
Ship effects. This is also a stretch and locked behind Pirate Legend. What this does is allow the player to put effects on their ship to make it seem more "cursed". Whether that be lightning that strikes around the ship on occasion (this does no damage to the player ships), or a mist trail, just something to make Pirate Legends more feared if they choose to be.
-
Interior decoration. Ability to change color of railings, decking, wheel, capstan, figurehead. Thanks @I-Am-Lost-77 !
These are a few ideas for a ship customization overhaul, lemme know what y'all think!
