Please open NA to Steam workshop with regard to the graphic aspect of the ports, the map to consult with the possibility to customize with comments, the possibility to add graphic elements that do not affect the gameplay. Opening the game to Steam workshop could make the game graphically better (no offense you know i like your game) by "taking advantage" of the passion of the modders.

Sealife

we have birds but could be nice to see also some flying fish jumping out the water or a couple of Dolphins ..sometimes when we are lucky see some whales that blows water in the sky could be awesome.

 

[Borch]

Peace Server

Enable visible names for opposite nations players when in OW.

[Borch]

Introduce Wrecker as crafted ship with permits dropping from silver and gold chests.

[Charles MacMinor]

just a very small proposal: please add a 'leave map' button in map screen.

[Osier]

Drag All UI separate at least Compass and ships to your own destination in battle and save positions

(running 3 screens 5760 x 1080 and keeping track on stuff is a pain)

[Conte D. Catellani]

Improve the communication with players. 

Use the PVP PvE servers window for more announcements, we still have the one about selling accounts, polls, warn about players behavior like insults opponents in battle chat and so on. 

Not all the players are in the forum 

[Charles MacMinor]

It would be very helpful to have a map grid with numbered quadrants (switchable). Also a measuring tool for getting the distance between two points (or at least a scale bar).

[Runic]

Add a deepwater freetown closer to the american coast.

[Creme Anglaise]

Game Labs to produce a hard copy ship recognition book with silhouettes of each ship, sail patterns and different paint schemes

I will give money for this

[Peiper]

Proposal:  Animal life

I would like to see whales, dolphins, flying fish, and albatross.  These creatures are common in the ocean and deserve to be in the game.

Current version is too lifeless.  

All of these creatures could criss-cross the open world map indefinitely, as they all tend to move in straight-ish lines.  If you're worried about server load, make them client based sprites.  No interaction is necessary and no need to worry about collisions.  It's a quality of life - literally LIFE - suggestion.

[Farrago]

Add compass direction indicator to spyglass display.

[DaRho]

Battle replay recording.

Add possibility to record battles in form of a replay, which could then be replayed afterwards from any perspective.

So it's not a movie, but actual full battle replay holding all necessary information to replay the whole battle instance offline afterwards. Like Starcraft II replays, World of Tanks replays and many others. 

[Suppenkelle]

Keeping gusts visible

After once discovered on the map gusts should remain visible on the map until the next maintenance.

Click on the port - opens a map where the events occurred.

Клик по порту - открывает карту, где произошло событие.

I´d love to see a more nautical map! The one we got is beautiful too look at but lacks "professionalism"

Edited April 30, 2020 by Genevieve Malfleurs

[Genevieve Malfleurs]

Ability to zoom out a little bit more in battle instance. Similar to the ship in dock. It´s just a bit too close in my eyes.

[Sparkydog]

When Buying/selling things in port shop- lock the scrolled position in place instead of starting back at top of list and scrolling down again.

[Charles MacMinor]

Please enable the possibility to check one's current amount of labour hours while at sea.

[Kejsaren]

Make trade and clan chat channel togglable like combat/global/nation and help.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Conquest Icons - scheduled Port Battles icon in target ports

• Automatically added to the map at the port the PB is scheduled to
• Mouse over icon shows PB date/time
• Benefit - all Conquest PBs are visually presented and if iconography is nice, add life to the map.

[Aldeveron]

Please work on the climate, to make it more Caribbean-like. Let's have some proper sunshine, bluer seas and shorter rainstorms. At the moment, the climate is as gloomy as the North Atlantic. And please ditch the 'raindrops on glass' thing, which is so inappropriate.

Unlimited paintings

If you buy the painter DLC you can have unlimited paint removing the actual cooldown. A paint and a painted ship becomes untradeable, you need to destroy the paint before put in trade in port or private transacction with other player.

[erelkivtuadrater]

People can "Refit" their ships in different ports to get the "Liverpool Refit" from say one english port, "Nassau Refit" if you refit it in nassau etc, cartagena refit etc.

How it happens is that beside the "Repair ship" button you get a choice to "Refit Ship" with a warning that it will take x hours/minutes (depending on how big the ship is), the ship "stays" in a drydock at that said port where you can grab it after the refit is done, what refit the port has should said in the port info tab on the top left where you can read what woods and resources drops there.

PS. Could even add so you would need some trade goods to complete the refit, Sables for the boarding refits etc.
