Hello! I absolutely love the game. It's incredible! I'd like to make a small suggestion that would make the game even better! The land survival aspect is fantastic! First, regarding our ships, it would be great to have a "mobile base," so we really feel like our ship is our home. We should have more time to design and customize it, and have workshops inside (which we could place with just a snap engineer in certain locations). This has already been mentioned, but also the possibility of using it as a fast travel point. For customization, There should be a system with a top-down view and the number of slots for the number of cannons we can place, rather than just a single cannon item that fills all the cannons. We could also place other items in its place. This way, we would have much more of a feeling of "designing" our ship rather than just having a vehicle, as in many games. For the same type of ship, there could be models with more or fewer slots, with blueprints to find/earn from chests, or by dismantling enemy ships. For example, there could be Ketch ships with 6/8/10/12 slots. Regarding the items to equip, besides cannons, we could add: - Reinforced hull (increase resistance) - Added sails (increase speed) - Various armaments such as harpoons/mortars, etc. - Cargo crates (increase hold space) I generated an image using AI to give an example of what could be done. For the enemies, we should reduce the number of ships that spawn and make them slightly more complex to defeat, as well as significantly increase the rewards found on them. Since we can board them, we should also be able to capture boarded ships to resell or dismantle them (which would allow us to recover resources and/or part of each ship's blueprint) or keep them for ourselves. We could tow these ships with harpoons or another system (installed in the locations mentioned earlier) and bring them to a location within the factions to dismantle/resell them or keep them for ourselves.
