Suggestion: Add a custom description to purchased ships

  • Uiop4691

    Main Idea:

    Allow players to write a short description (around 200–250 characters) that would appear alongside the ship’s name.

    Goal:

    Give players the opportunity to add a soul, a story, and an identity to their ship, beyond just the name.

    Encourage roleplay (RP) and attachment to the vessel by letting captains tell, in just a few words, the legend or personality of their ship.

    Create more diversity and personalization among player ships (two ships might share the same name, but their descriptions would be unique).

    Example of use:

    Name: La Malédiction

    Description: “Born from the abyss, this cursed ship haunts the seas, a harbinger of shipwreck for all who cross its path.”

    Benefits:

    Strengthens immersion and personal storytelling for each pirate.

    Encourages creativity and the sharing of stories between players.

    Fits perfectly with the spirit of Sea of Thieves: a world of legends, tales, and unique ships.

    You mean all those trinkets dont give it soul, or show off all the achievements you done across your story?

    would undoubtedly be a lot of slurs, racism, ego cringe etc.

    First they need to fix the bug that doesn't allow us to see ship names anymore. Been going on for months now.

    I like the idea but they already cannot make the chat filter properly. There are multiple swears you can type on their own that for some reason are not censored, but if you type those same swears and add "stupid" or "infant" to them, it censors both "stupid" and "infant" alongside the swear. I imagine any other word would also be censored. Players would use misspelled slurs consistently.

    Nah. It happens after diving when the ship name was perfectly visible on the original server.

    Name disappears from ship crest, ships log and the cinematic banner.

    Yeah, because every single ship I've encountered wants their ship name to be private all of a sudden? Heck even MY ship name (or the crew's ship I'm with) is suddenly hidden, despite the fact I didn't make any settings or adjustments, and it's been going on for months. Please don't call this a feature, when it's obvious it's a bug.

    How would that all fit on the screen? Unless there will be a word limit or something but the description may take up the whole screen and no doubt people will be using it to say inappropriate stuff

    I do like the idea of giving your ship a backstory or something but people will just use this to say inappropriate things
