Suggestions for Potco?

[MJF]

I can think of a few good updates to make to Pirates Online.

1. Add an option to the launcher where someone can switch it to full screen of windowed mode. "Me personally I want to put it in windowed mode, but I have the problem with trying to change it in game, it comes out to the windowed but stays black. I know it happens to others cause their a post with using the file notepad P_working_options. That use to work for me, but this time it doesn't." Adding that option in the launch would solve it for everyone so it could be played in full screen or windowed mode before even in-game.

2. I think it'd be great if an option could be added for the ship owner to be able to go through the loot on his ship and delete any they don't know. I know others like this idea cause I always see people talking about it in-game. For most it'd be great to be able to throw out cargo crates. And for others that only want ship materials they can throw out everything else. That would be a great option for everyone for the ship owner to be able to go through his loot on his ship before porting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything else is just some general ideas I have, that are some suggestions.

3. Bring back being able to see other people on other ships, say two people that talk on an outside program such as Skype, Teamspeak, Ventrilo, etc want to use a separate ship for role-play purpose can move up next to each other and see them on their ships instead of it looking empty. Also another concept to this is just like boarding an NPC flag ship, maybe add an option for two ship owners to ask each if boarding is okay they would hit yes or no on a request that pops up and pull up next to each other and boards set up between ships to walk across. That would be great for people who enjoy role-play type stuff.

4. Another ship suggestion. Maybe add complete visual damage, like where a cannonball hits it will show the hole there in complete detail, any thing like a firebrand one that hits it catches fire to that section of ship.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That about sums it up for my ideas and suggestions and a benefit to everyone at this time. Please let me know how this goes.

I agree strongly that POTCO should bring back that ability for us to see who the other Captain of that other ship is. We don't need to read their sailing commands. We can simply read their own local chat to us if they so desire to speak. I'd like to see the enemies at the helm of their enemy ships too. That was so fun to knock them out. But if they don't allow for us to ever see those enemy Captains again, then the one with players must be.

I'll tell you why: So we can Report those who are hacking! Especially, in SvS mode! It needs to be there just like the ability to Boot crew off. Maybe they won't allow it in Live Mode to reduce lag, but they definitely need it in SvS where players are using rapid fire and whatever else they keep coming up with to cheat. They don't have to talk, just be seen so they can be clicked on for violating the Code.

No need to explain further. I'm just going to notify POTCO now through their official form. They don't read these ideas outside of it. So if it's important to you, use their form and talk to them.
