i would like to know your opinion

[Dockwrecker The Privateer]

As far as cannon placement goes I'm all for it,especially if sloop and war sloop cabins can be removed in favor of making a less-hull-to-hit vessel with 4-6 extra guns,a real SvS win-win.

A 360 gun on the crow's nest would be amazing but simply crazy to the extreme,I think I may die if I actually saw it,rofl.But if anyone is going to do it that would be Disney.

I would like to see some ship advancements that aline with historical accuracy when possible,perhaps little one or half-pound swivel guns.

Why not actually be able to go below you ship's deck depending on ship class and fire a gun down there?Why not be able to climb up by the crow's nest like it showed in that original trailer for POTCO back when it was launched?

A captain should really have a cabin he can relax in sometime....

Why not have player packed port battles where certain ship types and customizations rule the fighting fleet carnage?Some may say we already have that with privateering....these ship in POTCO may just travel far too fast for such a port battle,sort of a pity but this isn't POTBS....makes me want to sigh.

If Disney is going to make Ship Customization then they need to do it right,we could wait two or more years.

I think many people are right,Disney seems to launch new content slower than many MMOs,perhaps it's becasue Disney is a Film and Television company,not a gaming centered one.Who knows the size of their staff,I suggest someone interviews POTCO staff in a long to run relationship sometime,I've seen it done with another forum and a large European based company known to some as TLC,they were not a sole gaming company either....

how about add cannon placement ok?




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

its not at all complicated. if you want complicated check Potbs. I just made it look complicated by making one point into 3. I mentioned designs 5 different times as Lanterns, Hull designs, sail designs, etc. Disney must take my points so ppl can spend a lot of time and gold on customization to keep them entertained.

ok i see.... they do everything for more content.. but why not IMPROVE wat we have now?

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.

well how is cannon placement HARD to do.. just give us our hulls and give us a number of cannons and let us go wild on it... golly... doesnt seem too hard...


you gotta let the pirates have creativity!!!!!

Sorry for a late post, but Ship Customization is a extremely great idea. We should have a Ship Builder program for importing hulls from Google SketchUp, DelftShip, 3ds Max, etc., and maybe the possibility of spending no gold to build one, even the Basic Member Accesses can build one in their image.
