1) Allow a choice of three different hull sizes (already exists).

3) Allow choice of sail layouts based upon the number of masts you chose. This could also be very easily added.
4) Allow choice of color scheme--just like in clothes--for sails, hulls, and trim.

The various sail layouts along with the size of the hull will affect speed and accelleration. AND if Disney would add in wind direction, it could also be used for determining best point of sail.

Also, wouldn't seem to be too hard to allow little extras, like figureheads that could be chosen and bought.

Costs by item (just lik it is now) and VOILA! Yer very own newe custom shippe!

how about add cannon placement ok?

This is what should come with Ship Customization, and i'd be happy if Disney has more on its mind.
On to the main topic, no I don't believe we should start from scratch for the ship. We should make use of existing models from which we remodel it to our gain. We should also start of by pirating and ships ( including the war ones ) by working as a merchant or Navy officer as a starter before we actually become pirates. On rare occasions if we have enough money we should be able to buy warships...
way too complicated... lets do wat BART said... with ship naming, walk the plank, you can see your treasure from wat you collected, cabin card games.. i all agree..



OH i would JUST DIE for a cannon that has a 360 view on the crows nest
