Emissary Flag

    I have a suggestion for the game. Im not sure if its the right area to do so. But, here's it goes anyway.

    If your ship is sunk and you had an emissary flag, would it be feasible to be able to put your specific flag back up on your ship if you were to locate it and save it from sinking or rescuing it from the vessel that sank you?

    Just a thought I had yesterday. I returned to where I was sunk yesterday and ship who sank me had left my flag bobbing in the water. It would be nice to be able to re plant your flag back on our ship in that case instead of starting over.

    Anyway. Love SoT, been playing it off and on since year one. I have over 97 days in the game. Thanks for everything you all do

    I actually like this idea. In the few instances in which you end up with your own Emissary Flag, I do think there should be something else to do with it besides either sell it for 1 Gold, or give it to another pirate so they can benefit from it.

    This can be exploited, first get your flag up to grade 5 (sell the loot), sink your ship, get your flag back and now you'll be able to collect loot while not on the map for Reapers and you can put your emmissary flag back up when you're ready to turn in.

    @lem0n-curry since reapers/PVP focused players in general will sync a ship regardless if it’s running an emissary flag or not, I wouldn’t call it that much of an exploit. If anything, it would be a good strategy for folks who are trying raise their emissary levels and complete commendations. Of course, while the flag is up, it would put a target on them until they’re able to sync the ship again so there would be a downside to have an availability

    Oooooh, does that mean we can get rid of that annoying pop-up whenever an Emissary flag is raised ?

    Most attacking crews will go for an emissary ship though if they have to choose between a non-emmissary and an emissary - when they don't know what the ships might have on board (because of flag turn in commendations, at least the flag as loot, easier to track when Reaper grade 5).

    PvP oriented reapers might go to another server when they won't see an emissary upon reaching grade 5.

    The idea behind commendations that include the emissary flag is that there is more risk flying it; removing that and they should just hand people those commendations upon logging in.

    It’s been my experience that players will attack emissary, regardless of the so, I don’t think it’s gonna matter all that much whether or not they server hop looking for level 5 emissaries. But, I’m guessing the reason why people in that position would have a problem with it is it would require them to actually put in a little bit more effort than what they have been
