1st Rates Flagships, and Pirate's flags

[Jones el Tuerto]

Hello I'm relatively new to the game and new to the forum, I'm not sure if this was suggested before or not but here it goes I hope it's taken in consideration for the future. 

1 - First of all I see 1st rates ships or flagships could be locked to each faction, for example victory locked to British, Santisima to Spain..etc. For other factions' players this ships would be available only by capturing them from other players instead of buying them or building them. This could be a historically accurate feature for the game, and making 1st rates ships more uniques.

2 - On the other hand Pirate's flags. Instead of all pirates carrying the flag of the pirate Emanuel Wynn, it would be a really good feature have "custom" flags, by custom I mean a series of historically accurate options given by the developers to choose a pirate flag. This would be another really good historical feature for the game.

 

Thanks for reading this,

Fair winds and following seas.

We don't have enough ships to add this feature. It would work if we had 3 nations only in game (like all predecessors)

Add unique 'Default' Paint jobs for each nation. Right now you have all ships look the same in every nation. It's very boring. For example, if you had 'Default' Spanish paint theme on all their ships let's say red and black and British would have Yellow and black it suddenly changes everything with minimal work. Our brains will quickly recognize enemies on OS and will get satisfied seeing more color variety on OS.

If you remember some of my screenshots where I had 2 Santisimas fighting each other and one of them was yellow/black vs red/black, isn't it beautiful?

In addition, many players would want to change 'default' paintjob and will need to participate in PBs, pvp etc... another way to increase action. 

All this means that every let's say Spanish built ship would spawn with 'default' paint making it 'unique' from every other nation and so on... 

Spain - Black/Red

Britain - Black/Yellow

France - Black/Blue

Pirate - Black/White/Weather worn paint

... still thinking about the rest

For 2:  Some time in the future it would be nice to have clan flags maybe at the top of your ship or some where else.  That or only your clan members see the flags in battle and every one else see's your nation flag.  This would be nice to know which ships are clan members in battle cause some times your way to close to be able to see the names.  Though this would be a feature I expect to happen more closer to release when most other things are all ironed out or after relase.

I like this,  but something that can prob be added after release.   Though would this mean pirats will be BLACK ships?  LOL  I think it might be to much to make each nations ships different by default.  

Though one thing I did love about POTBS was if you captured a ship that had a flag on it, you keep that flag of the ship until you change it.  No matter if it was a Nation flag or a custom clan flag.

I really hope they will implement this. It's really a nice feature that kills many rabbits with one shot.

Yeah, this too. I've heard Devs working on custom flags or pennants. If it's true why not allow players to capture each other ships with paintjob+flags as they were set by previous owner. This could also include ship names.

I agree would be a nice feature appreciated by almost everyone.
