More Settings/Options For Captains

  • Currently the only setting for Captains specifically is whether the crew can customise the ship*, but I think there could be a few more that I think would benefit Captained ships.

    • Lock trinket customisation when away from outposts (removes prompt when at sea)
    • Nudging of trinkets allowed/not allowed
    • Food Supplies barrel preference (which barrel food supplies are delivered to)
    • Cannonball barrel preference (which barrel cannonballs are delivered to)
    • Throwable barrel preference (which barrel throwables are delivered to)
    • Allow Crewmates to purchase Captain Voyages
    • Allow Crewmates to purchase supplies (as pointed out, this is probably a non-issue)
    • Pets allowed/not allowed on board ship (controversial, but some might want it)

    (* I know there are some gamertag related settings, but they're not in the Captain section of the Crew menu specifically)

    There may be other obvious ones I am forgetting, so please discuss below.

  • @realstyli Love it...especially the first one.

    The number of times I've gone to grab food off the stove and accidentally interacted with the trinket location is almost as annoying as the old sit-in-the-rowboat instead of grabbing-the-loot-item frustration.

    The pet one is the only one I'm indifferent about.

  • @sweetsandman

    Indeed the prompt in the stove is exactly what got me thinking about this. It's incredibly annoying.

    The pets one was an after thought really, not sure it's essential and I'd rather just have a personal option to turn off the interact prompts for them. I know a lot of folk would be more inclined to have their pets out, or even buy one in the first place, if they weren't such a liability at times.

  • My crewmates hate the stove prompt as well

    Some pets are a liability too. I just bought a fox only to realize it makes some passive sound effect that reminds me of the chest of rage or a skull.

  • I would love to see at the very least an option to disallow pets and locking trinket customization.

    I find pets to be rather annoying and as the captain of a ship, it should be my prerogative whether my crew mates are allowed to bring their pets aboard my vessel.

    It is also fairly unnecessary to have trinket modification be available when outside of an outpost, it only serves as a way to slow down players on captained ships when they misclick on an area due to its proximity to a normal ship function (such as cooking).

  • Holy I was worried at first reading the title you were gonna say option to kick, but was surprised to see mainly great requests!

    • Lock trinket customisation when away from outposts (removes prompt when at sea)

    10/10 change please been begging for some form of this gets extremely annoying.

    • Nudging of trinkets allowed/not allowed

    I would like this as well not a fan of readjusting trinkets prefer them to be upright all the time just not a fun mechanic I feel

    • Food Supplies barrel preference (which barrel food supplies are delivered to)
    • Cannonball barrel preference (which barrel cannonballs are delivered to)
    • Throwable barrel preference (which barrel throwables are delivered to)

    YES YES YES and YES would love more barrel customization maybe when also storing storage crates it would auto sort based on what you set this would be an incredible QOL change!

    • Allow Crewmates to purchase Captain Voyages

    Never understood why they could not tbh

    • Allow Crewmates to purchase supplies

    Umm not sure why you would want to not let them buy supplies I mean sure if you want but this one seems weird...

    • Pets allowed/not allowed on board ship (controversial, but some might want it)

    Ok so I would be on board with this but I 100% understand why Rare would not let you disable players showing off microtransaction items lol

  • @nitroxien

    Umm not sure why you would want to not let them buy supplies I mean sure if you want but this one seems weird...

    Aye... I probably should have said "Allow Crewmates to purchase Captain Voyages" as that's what I was really thinking of when I wrote it. Just to prevent them filling the storage with voyages you don't want. Not that it's a big deal for me, but I just think Captains could do with more options.

  • Looks alright to me

    I think with pets the main priority should be options to mute them and options to where you can't interact with them

    I'll never understand why whimpering/distress noises were added to pets but those gotta go. Never should have existed and nobody should have ever been put in a position to deal with that, serious qol issue there for fun escapism focused gameplay.

  • Locking the trinkets was something I asked for, it feels very artificial when you see their promts everywhere.
    When you costumize sure but after let me lock it!
