Maybe for achievements unlocked for example «No home port», stay 100 days at sea without dying, reward; *insert flag name here*. And for an even tougher one of the same challenge gain it in a other color as for pirates for example red.

Yes. 
We want to make some flags to be given as rewards or rare loot. Just like Le Requin and Hercules could be obtained in tutorials or rare open world events.

Regarding prussia:

 

Ship: Merchant ship König von Preußen  built in London in 1750 for the king of Prussia  and the  "Preußisch Asiatischen Kompanie" (1751)

Brandenburg Navy which can be considered prussian.

The Brandenburg Navy was the navy of the Margraviate of Brandenburg in Germany from the 16th century to 1701, when it became part of the Prussian Navy

(thats the naval flag 1657–1701)

 

I guess that could be the flags on the masts with just the cross changed for the eagle. But couldnt find any better pictures maybe someone else know a better source?

Prussian merchant marine flag ( 1823-1863 )

 

Maritime flag of stralsund(1695-1815)

 

Stralsund-Navy War flag  1816

 

(Stralsund is the place where prussia started to build their first schooners)

Why those flags should be added?:

There are a lot of german clans ingame that already use the name "The Brandenburg Navy" or love to play as merchants guess lot of them would like to see such flags added.

Here is a collection of drawings of common Venetian flags housed at the Venetian naval history museum.

And Here are a couple of bonus flags from other sources:

As a fun bonus fact for those who are still reading this: Venice was also the only nation to frequently use velvet in their flags because they had ridiculous amount of money, although velvet flags were mainly in use over the 16th and 17th century they were still employed as part of parades and for prestige value, with the majority of naval jacks being made no different from any other flag of the period, unless they were the flags for the Bucentaur.

I think what you're looking for is the Kroaz du, in its marine version :

 

 

that flag was before 1532, or the plain hermine flag :

 

 

that saw some use after 1532, i think the last one used by amirauté de bretagne was this one :

 

 

That was used up to 1790, when the amirautés de bretagne ceased to exist. it can be related to the flag of the ville de Nantes that exist in two versions :

 

 

This version with black cross should be from before britanny became french in 1532, while this version :

 

 

This version has the french white cross over the britanny black cross, post 1532... But both versions are in use today.

For the United States, some other interesting flags would be those of the respective Naval Militias that had flags:

New York Naval Ensign, 1775

 

The New York Naval Ensign 1775

In the early days of the Revolution the New Yorkers adopted a white flag with a black beaver for the armed ships of New York. According to legend, the New Yorkers hauled down the British flag in 1775 and raised a plain white flag with a drawing of a black beaver centered on it to mark the occasion. The symbol of the Beaver dated back to the early Dutch settlers of New Netherlands and was based on the long and important role the fur trade played in the development of New York.

Although no documented illustration of the original Beaver Flag has been yet discovered, modern interpretations exist. The beaver is still the official state animal of New York State, and is still seen on the great seal of the City of New York.

New England Naval Ensigns

 

Pine Tree Flags and Naval Ensigns

The term Pine Tree flag is a generic name for a number of flags used by the New England and Massachusetts colonies from 1686 to 1778. The Pine Tree has been a popular symbol of American independence in New England for years.

Washington's Cruisers Flag 1775

This flag was used by George Washington on a squadron of six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall of 1775. This flag was a variation of the New England Pine Tree flag. The Continental Navy, knowing they were up against the greatest naval power in the world, set sail flying a flag with an "APPEAL TO HEAVEN." They needed all the help they could get.

Oh, and from the War of 1812 section, we cannot forget the Revenue Service, which saw a lot of victories in the beginnings of the US:

I presume you already thought about religious order flags?

 

The obvious one, the flag of the knight hospitaliers :

 

 

And the less obvious, but most known one, since the order ceased to exist in 1312, the templars :

As players have proposed a great variety of flags some will also be available in loot too.
