Retroactive captains logs tied to ships

[The MetaBaron]

Some of my ships I've owned since steam launch, they have survived unbelievable fights outnumbered, or been there for the first port battle our nation had. Some ships have been "borrowed" from other nations, and maybe even switched sides several times.

 

Point is many of our ships have quite a story tied to them, I would love for there be a way to see this. Not just kill to death ratio (which would be nice as well), but go past that.

 

I would also hope the dev's have this info logged away and we could have it added to the game in the future, but still get to see where our ships have been and what they have done in the past.

This might become a pile of data too big to handle.

How about we start with:

• Custom name
• Crafter name
• Age in real days

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, then we could have 1 day captains who have sailed her.

I like this, including the crafter of the ship as well.

 

Sure there is likely much to much date to include without it  being silly, but I still think there is room for some interesting other bits. Like what nations owned it, what ships it has sank etc..

The data I put forward does not grow, so it can scale up to a lot of ships.

A log of ships it sank would be of indefinite size, a score of ships it sank would not. So the second might be doable as well.

The one thing I haven't kept in mind is multiple dura. Once a ship splits the score can run up quite fast. May or may not be an issue.

For the moment the consensus is not to keep score boards in games.
