Clan representation

[Freight]

I'm sure many of us who play with our clans and friends find the clan options lacking. The clan warehouse mechanic is extremely nice and leads to convoying sometimes but currently the only representation there is of our clans is the tag. I have discussed with my clan on several occasions, what jack should be used to represent us if we were able to fly jacks representing our clans and companies. It's a heated discussion, with dozens of options coming in all of which excite me.

What I propose is the addition of some kind of visual marking to add to our ships while in battle. Though it would not add to the core parts of gameplay, it would add to the unity of countries and the pride of clans. 

Obviously there would be problems with people flying inappropriate symbols so I suggest the admins or mods review it before being accepted. On top of that, flying flags that look like other nations flags would cause problems and I feel would have to be regulated as well. 

Thoughts?

THAT'S what BOAT stands for!

Also - An idea that has been bandied about, but is likely low on the list of priorities.

I searched around but couldn't find it anywhere.

 

It also stands for Big ole' ample titties but yknow...

I think a clan pennant, or some sort of flag (in addition to not in place of the national flag) would be a great touch.

And I understand that this would be a lower priority.

But you could incorporate it into an additional (DLC) sort of shop that could generate additional money for the game developers/development.

These flags/pennants would do nothing at all to affect ship characteristics, just a nice touch and a source of income.

Win-win.

I'm all for clan flags too.   But if they do any buy stuff they need to have that same stuff in game I can grind up to and get myself.   I hate games that starts to make you buy skins and other things to play with such and not offer an in game way to get them.

+ 1 vote from me. I would even go as far as saying clan sails or something along those lines. 

[Vernon Merrill]

This has been discussed before.  It would be great to have a clan pennant that flies from the top of the main mast in addition to the national colors on the gaff.

I hate to say it, but this could also be an easy way to gain revenue. Each clan picks a flag, then you pay 1~2 $ to per ship for that flag. Hell I would do that for several ships and I'm sure others as well would do the same.

Yes, we have all asked for this, along with a clan dockyard to share ships. +1 devs and admins please take notice.

[Paulus de Boskabouter]

Clandock - shareships

Clanoutpost - for clan operation far from capital 

Clan flags - could be aproved by a selected group in the community  (the green chat guys , forgot the name )

Many more features i can think of but these would be nice to start with
