i would like to know your opinion

I agree that would be a fine thing but it would be too difficult and cause lag issues. I would like to see some customization but it would have to be upon the base ship types Disney has already provided.

So things like coloring the Hull or Sails would be possible. SVS ships show this can be done but they would have to put in a user interface to do this as well as a color wheel and sail/ship templates for painting. It would most likely be multiple choice of set designs and colors rather than freeform painting.

Keep in mind you already have some customization available for you ship. Through skill points you can increase your ship's speed, cannonball damage, broadside damage, reload speed as well as your ships over all turn radius and tacking. These can be very valuable depending upon what you are using your ships for.

I would also like to be able to fly a pirate flag of my own design.

You can do some things with what we already have but the the database requirements for Full ship customization would be hidieous. It would be nice to have some options I agree.

In a way this idea could be amazing,perhaps we could plant more into D's mind lol.It seems like something that would take a while to develop to me ,if done right,Disney would have to create many more ship kinds before we could get to that stage.(If this ever was added to POTCO you should still have the option to buy an already build ship from a Shipwright.)One thing I would worry about is mix-match buckets sailing around though .Although Disney has already stated through all their current vessels that historical accuracy isn't nearly exercised in this game at sea.In the end I believe a decent ,well developed,beuatiful Ship Customization is the route to go,along with some new ships to customize like Brigs ,Indiamans,First Class line ships,and perhaps a rare Junk.In that you could perhaps add or change masts just like ye said.When ye buy your ship one may not have all the materials yet to customize so ye can rig yer ships as you progress through the game.
I think privateers in peticular would like to remove their War Sloop's cabin and add more cannons and repair boards in that place.And why not be able to go inside your own cabin on your Galleon or Frigate?Me and someone I know have been developing such an idea.And make yer helm spin too!

I think flags should be a great highlight of Ship Custom.French,Spanish,pirate,EITC,British Jack,freetrader banners,mastop pennants of various kinds and apprearences.Flagships should have the good ole large flag that flies off the stern.
