Basically as title states spawning with a storage crate will speed up looting outpost and speed up game play for all pirates. Also being able to purchase as many as you like from equipment dude on out post will be benefit all that play just make it cheap to purchase.
Please allow for storage crates to either spawn with boats or be purchased from equipment dude
@cannytwocrows Speeding up gameplay is precisely why they won't do it. Things need to take time to allow for other ships to have the opportunity to attack, steal from, and sink you. If you get your wish, nobody would have any real time to attack anyone via ambush because everyone will always be on the move.
Furthermore, being able to purchase crates gives an inherent advantage by allowing you to place supplies wherever you want on the ship, automatically circumventing the balanced barrel positions. At least with having to find them, it takes time to do, which again, allows for you to be more vulnerable.
Why speed up gameplay?
To buy supplies is a bad idea.
It would remove the searching for and collecting of supplies and ask everyone to do so every time to be not in a disadvantage and fully stocked.
This leads to veteran players and players playing hardcore get more power from start of each session.
It also takes away the collecting of supplies from the gameloop.
You may dont like it, but i do for example and dont want this to be changed.@galactic-geek completely disagree think all ships should spawn with a storage crate to speed up gathering resources not saying it should be full just an empty storage crate to allow them to loot the outpost

This still has 2 problems associated with it:
- The aforementioned free placement of supplies.
- Any ship arriving to the outpost shortly thereafter will find it devoid of any and all supplies, leaving them at a distinct disadvantage.
Playing solo, to empty out an entire outpost sans crate, it would take you ~10 minutes. With one, ~3 minutes. That's 7 minutes of a difference where they could potentially be attacked.
Besides, if you want to get started faster, nobody's stopping you - you just might find yourself rather shorthanded when you need it most. Managing your supplies is a key component of this game; without it, there's no longer any dynamic of worrying about whether or not you have enough to be prepared for whatever may come.

@bugaboo-bill if every ship spawned with a storage crate to gather from the start will allow everyone to have a strong start. It literally won’t give anyone an advantage just everyone the chance to not waste a half hour to an hour looting an outpost in the beginning of a session
Just because everyone has access to it doesn't mean that it's not gamebreaking - the double-gun exploit was proof enough of that.
Hit a few islands and you're bound to find one or more storage crates lying on the beach. Some days seem like Sea of Storage Crates. Even if you don't find one at first, supplies are really easy to come by these days. It doesn't take long to get an adequate number of supplies, and you can always get more while sailing the seas. But you have to put forth a minimal degree of effort. Being provided a "free" storage crate, or being able to buy one, circumvents that "minimal degree of effort" right from the start. It's completely unnecessary.
@cannytwocrows imagine you are doing a skull fort, someone attacks you and you skink them, now currently you know if they just spawn and head for another battele they will have little supplies, giving them low chance of winning. With your idea said crew can just come at you fully stocked time after time. Then you will come to the forum and ask for a protective barrier against repeated attacks by same crew.
These kids live in an “ instant “ world. Can’t be bothered to even stock their ships up properly.
Having or not having supplies is the difference between a good crew that can be bothered and a bad crew that can’t be bothered. The difference can potentially win a battle.
Why stop at giving a supply crate? Why not just fill the ship with way more supplies?
I think it’s a bad idea. To many things are made to easy for people that can’t be bothered to put the effort in.
There was a time when we didn’t even have storage crates too lol
