Of course total customization is a beautiful pipe dream on paper...

But, you can offer a limit choice range and still get some creative results. Asking for cannon placement is likely not going to happen. The developers have to create models and objects for the various hull classes. Just having a couple more hull types would make a huge difference. Different gun types would be a good offering.

The real issue with total ship customizing like that is SvS. It would become WAAAY too unbalanced as the rich and powerful would simply dominate.

I could also never imagine an option to paint your ship, but I could see a variety of color schemes offered. After all, 3d models have 'skins' wrapped around them and you just make multiple skins for each class of ship.

You combine 2 or 3 new hull types, a few sail types and colors, various hull skins and cannon types - that creates a huge variety.

Creating a Captain's Quarters is easy enough. When you go to the Dinghy, it could have a Captain's Quarter's option. You tp to your special room where you can have your clothes wardrobe, collected treasures on display, etc. When you exit, you end up back at the dinghy menu. The issue is developing a new element to add to every player in their database. But, once you establish a system, it should be easy to add on to it.
