I agree trade would be cool - I bought a war gal. which I later decided I hated would have rather sold it for 15k to a low level player who would have had fun with it than for the 20k I got for the game to gobble it up.- just needs to be done well and set up right with its own chat that you can filter out or turn on if you are trying to buy something, a board where you can list your stuff so on-maybe turn an empty wharehouse into a auction room.
I would like to see a chest that all my pirates can get into so I can transfer stuff from one to the other if I want also- William wouldn't look good in striped pants but ol Tom Foolery could sport em in style
