Premium idea: name your ships

[Mongoose McMoose]

I know there is talk of a cash shop giving cosmetic advantages rather than pay-to-win advantages.

I would definitely pay 50 cents to slap a name on my vessel that is visible in the game. I think it would also add a fun longevity to certain ships like Brigs which are commonly sold after someone levels up out of them and sells them. You get to see the same ship sailed by numerous captains as they move from hand to hand.

This topic was mentioned several times in past, but there is no clear response from devs on Ship names. I myself would like to see it as well + Hull/Sails customization tool.

I dont mind such a thing, as long as it is limited to a preselected list so that we dont get ship names which contain unaccaptable words and such.

I don't want a premium ship at all, premium shops ruin games and it's a slap in the face to a lot of the core playerbase.

Not premium ships, just the ability to name ships. The devs have stated that they are implementing a cash shop, but have no desire to create a pay-to-win atmosphere. They want their shop to sell cosmetics like skins and so on, rather than upgrades.

This is just a suggestion about an option that can go in that proposed shop.

imagine it, sounds awesome to have a custom name or even a color scheme on a ship for a slight fee to make its more diverse around the community
