I would love for you entire crew to be shown in the tavern background before you load onto a ship! You know how they recently added the feature of your pirate with multiple stances with several items? Well i would love it if you could see your crew's pirates holding different things, and some would interact with each other, like one taunting the other pirate with their bit of gold! I feel like it would fit very well within the feel and theme of Sea of Thieves! I would also like it if you could change your outfit in the lobby whilst in the waiting for the game to start with your friends. so then you could all try to match before hand or something. This feature would bring so much joy and entertainment to the whole crew while waiting for a friend to join, or just to have a little extra fun before they start the ship.
Lobby Crew Stances
@Zollin2400 I was thinking the same thing the other day that a lobby where you can see your other crew members and change clothes/equipment/etc would be a nice addition. Something like the Fortnite Battle Royale lobby screen, but in a more SoT style. It would be much simpler with a lot less buttons and simple access to the clothing/vanity/equipment/armory chests. This could also be a place to establish captaincy and name your ship.
@william-flint No problem! This is a good place to ask! But I kinda don't think they will, but who knows, if they really want to add it in, they'll find a way to balance it out.
@william-flint NOT a good idea...... it will only attract hackers, botters and goldselling companies

I apologise for attempting to hijack your thread...but I've noticed in those lobby stances that one shows your character with a bag of gold. Anyone think they may actually be adding the ability to trade currency?
Nope, those stances are all from the IPG. I am hoping we can do emotes with them. I'd love to have a context sensetive emote that does something different with each item (cannonball, Shovel, spyglass etc)
@william-flint you're better off creating a new thread for this idea, but I think selling purchased items for a lesser price than purchased is a fair idea. I'm not sure how I feel about trading currency though...
@Zollin2400 I'd love to see this as well! I'm surprised this isn't in the game yet.
@handsh0t Those are concerns to be sure. But it wouldn't only attract those problems...it would also add a lot of new dynamics to the game. You could pay someone for third ship, or to help you accomplish some task. You could pay a pursuing ship to leave you alone, or demand ransom to allow a ship you are persuing to go it's way in peace. You are certainly entitled to believe that the problems would outweigh the benefits (and I'm not sure that I would disagree) but I think that it would add enough to the game with a relatively simple change that it's worth considering.

I really hope they wont dd trading in currency.... That would make this game flood with gold farmers :S
On other note:
I love the idea of having some sort of interaction mode while waiting for people. Even tho mostly we start already while waiting for the others.@william-flint Then I'd be the kind of person who gets a ransom to leave someone alone and I still sink them. The game just isn't made for this stuff. Exactly the reason why I'm not really liking the idea on Alliances; Because not being able to kill your alliance members would mean you can't be a pirate after you are in an alliance with another crew......
You should really check out the game RUST. No-one can be trusted but yourself (or your crew) and that's the way how this game should stay.
@handsh0t that's always the risk of paying ransom money..no way to know the other side will keep the deal. From what I understand you are free to break the alliances, and I am hoping you can still harm crews you are in an alliance with (especially important for single ships that find themselves facing an alliance). If this is the case, than I don't think alliances will end up harming the atmosphere of the game.
