Ship Naming and How To Make It Meaningful

    I'm fairly certain that the ability to customize the name of your ship would be a welcome feature to most players. However, if it is somthing only you can see, what is really the point.

    I propose this feature work similar to the pet naming feature in terms of how to go about actually setting the name of your ship. Just a simple option in the shipwright chest. With the obvious language filters in place to prevent abuse.

    To actually make it mean somthing, I propose combining the island banner trigger with the audio trigger when looking at a ship with your spyglass.

    Basically, when looking at a ship with your spyglass, if the ship is named, it triggers a small (possibly customizable?) banner, smaller than an island banner, to appear displaying the name of the ship. If implemented in this or similar way, it allows crews to build notoriety and fame in their region, should they choose to use the same name every time they set sail. It also could add to the cat and mouse of tracking a ship, if the quarry manages to give you the slip and make it to a shipwright to paint over the name before you catch sight of them again.

    I've always wanted to name my boat and I simply don't understand why you can't.

    Maybe as well you could recruit people to your 'crew' which could have multiple vessels (ship names).

    These could operate like clans in Clash of Clans (sort of) and could provide a leaderboard for the players and vessels in your 'crew'.

    As well as making it easy to fill a ship with people from your 'crew'.

    For example:

    You could have a maximum of 50 people. Made up of friends and people you meet. If you select Open Crew, the game automatically tries to place you with people from your 'crew'. Before randoms.

    Then within this menu thing you could have a leaderboard 'most chests handed in'. And possibly even organised fights between different crews? Maybe even a global leaderboard for different crews and their fleet.

    You would have a startup cost of 3-5 mil to stop millions of crews being made, but IMO a system like this could be a lot of fun and building it into the game would make it easier to find people you previously played with.

    Finally, something like this could help streamers who want to play with their fans maybe (you could offer links to join their crew) or maybe special groups who want to hold a competition to handin the most skulls or whatever.

    Yeah sorry I derailed a bit from the original topic, but I just thought of this and it seemed relevant so I just wrote it all down.

    But yeah can we name our ships please

    When they do eventually introduce ship naming I pray that they don't let people use names that others are already using. It would be so cool to see real notorious ships on the seas!

    I think in Season 8 with 'Expanded Roleplay' we may be able to finally name our ships. Because if not for the reason you gave, the only other reason I can think of would be for roleplay.

    There is no reason to name a ship. What will you do after naming it? Nothing.
