I had a dream...

Is there any hope that the below could ever be in the future plans? WOT doing updates and gradually adding more graphical beauty to the ships... eerrrr tanks

1. Captain avatar. You create the character and your captain is at the helm looking and wearing closing/hat just like you made him. This would be great customization. 

2. Your ship has actual crew... To the point that you can watch them doing their daily duties. Pulling riggins, washing deck, smocking on a break, cook chasing a chicken, , fishing, cleaning cannons, captain checks the horizon etc etc. All crew have their life on board and coded to do specific things. You could add more crew members to the ship doing various things.... 

Wouldn't THAT bring life on board... errr to the game?  

People with powerful rigs should be able to afford such animation. People with weaker computers could just switch it off.

Very nice thing but extremely demanding  The problem with something like this is that its a gimmick 5% of players have the processing power to handle. Not to mention the fact that ships would need an interior for this too. The game is already quit to demanding if I look at the screenshots people are posting in battle results. 

The thing about it is that it would be an extremely good thing for the game for making the game less like a barren wasteland. Something that is very important to open world games is making the player feel like it is alive.

Sure it is true it will be heavy on your computer, but there are options. Like WOT. They have 2 clients for example. SD and HD. HD has all the textures and eye candy on tanks.

Also certain options could be adjusted like switch on/off life crew sort of thing.

When the game is finally stabilized, mechanics sorted, conquest PBs sorted (I do hope that some day they will introduce actual fight for the fort and landing in PBs), then it might be time for visual improvements.
