What I Would Like

The Light Galleon is rigged like a Brig (minus the spanker again), but the Galleon and War Galleon are fully rigged ships. So, I would like a choice of hull size (light, standard, and War still work) and a choice of sail plans. Choose between fore-and-aft sail plans or square-rigged. From there choose the specific sail-plan according to size of boat and type of sail. All of this affects your ship's speed and maneuverability.

Clothes. I'm getting tired of seeing all the cool clothes the NPCs have and knowing I can't get them. They got striped pants, and shorts, and blue hats and all kinds of things. Also, the boot thing is cool, but boots just weren't that common during the time. Shoes (with thhe big ol' buckle) were, and there's at least ONE NPC I've found wearing them. How about sailor's slops? Maybe the cooler and cooler clothes could be made available based on level? Meaning, a level 7 player could get basic slops or stockings and shoes, but the full Captain Jack outfit only for those who master?

The idea of Custom Ships would be nice - it may even take away the need (or the request) of another ship level, if you could get to customize the ships already in the game (maybe just the War Ships... seeing some mini-souped up frigate somehow just seems wrong )

That and I'd love to get my hands on them EITC Jackets and Vests

The new ship speed measurements are actually kinda cool - since "real sailing" will never be in the game (it would just be too "unreal" for the POTCO world - that and theres another sailing game that others can play if they want that).
