It's a tad bit off topic I agree, I was just simply using other things with in the game to show what I mean about customization. Almost every game that uses customization has a class system to make it fair and more fun.
For instance here it could be.
Witchdoctor, Quarter Master, Privateer and so on. This allows you to customize a lot more. Such as the witch doctor being able to customize his spells. Making his fire spells be a like black fire to show if he's got a bit of an evil twist, or a blueish flame to show that he's got the favor of the Caribbean gods such as Calypso you know things like that. That way making your spells different colors give you a bit more insensitive. One may be stronger then the other, but that would be specializing with a weapon but you can do that with in a class system. Because if you can specialize with all weapons then everyone will have spells that are different colors and eventually it's nothing new.
I remember when I met the first person ever with a staff or even the pistol and it's like oh wow that guy has been around longer then me. Yet now? Most of the new members are just people replaying the game after they beat it so where is the fun. If you customize your character with a class level now it makes the weapons even more valuable to the system. I know if I took a class to be a mage I'd make sure my staff or doll was extremely unique and did awesome spells. Such as a fireball that shoots towards the enemy and then engulfs them into a fire.
With a class system you can have let's say like with the ship names or character names. Your doing a class witchdoctor so now you have let's say three categories with lets say 20 options each. Everyone at the end of the day will have pretty much different spells in look and design. I know that if I had a crew that, what they could do would be a great asset to the team. I think having that creative edge to your weapons would help greatly. Creating your own spells by customizing them is just the easiest one to bring up.
