With the coming of Privateering PVP, I've been thinking about additions and/or improvements that can tie into this.
Jails and Davy Jone's Locker: With the advent of PVP approaching, I think it is time to overhaul the current Jail system and add the ultimate Jail which is Davy Jone's Locker. For the lower levels (below 20), the current "kick down the door and stomp past the guard" system is fine. For those participating in privateering and those above 20, I think that getting out of jail should be an adventure all in itself.
For those not involved in privateering, the system should be the same (i.e. ship sinks you go to
the jail at your last port of call). For those that are out privateering, when your ship sinks, you go for a swim. Once in the water, I can envision a whole myriad of options and/or scenarios.
Rescue by friendly privateers: Your soggy pirate can be rescued by fellow French/Spanish privateers (bonuses in gold/notoriety) via the grappling hook function. Once rescued your pirate will be automatically teleported to friendly island or be recycled onto the rescuing ship (or option to teleport to other friendly ships if crew is full) if it has an infirmary module below decks (on of many add-ons to ships when customization comes online to the game).
Capture by unfriendly privateers: On the same note your water-logged pirate can be grappled by enemy French/Spanish pirates (Bonus dependant on level of notoriety against French/Spain. Perhaps a bounty system can be worked up.). Once captured your pirate will be teleported to the prison on Isla De La Avaricia or Ile D'Etable De Porc. Once there you can attempt to breakout (not easy since your weapons are disabled) or freed by a jailbreak raid from friendly privateers.
Davy Jone's and his Locker: When you hit the water a timer clock appears on your screen. After the clock finishes it's countdown, the Flying Dutchman will surface and start rounding up waterlogged sailors for teleportation to the Locker. The Dutchman can be driven off (for a time) by friendly ships (although they may fall victim to her triguns or have the Kraken called on them).
