Customizable Ship Appearances (Medium)

[PFH]

I have wanted to incorporate guild tags and symbols into our daily ships and came up with this idea. This allows a player to set a ship profile to personal insignias and tags to be on ship sails on any ship. The gold to add this is 10% of the base price of the ship. Changing the current insignia and tag is 5% of the base price for each change. You can mass change insignias for any ships in a selection tab similar to the trade fleet set up menu.

Here are a few examples:

I also made a list of available logos, logo wraps, and fonts to incorporate into the ships customizations and made a single gallery photo to hold all of the options. Here is the picture:

Let me know what you guys think of this idea and let me know about any questions you have

That's a great idea actually!

APPROVED!

Given the highest priority, which means we will start working on it right after plantations!

[PFH]

Awesome Thanks a bunch Jack

Could this be incorporated with the ship history suggestion possibly?

[PFH]

Where could it be incorporated at? I’m a little confused where this could fit in to that. Like the past symbols that the ship wore? Past tags the ship used to have? Both?

[Captain Jack]

I think he means that since we will get to work on ships, perhaps we could also work on this.

Well, since we do want to forward ship specialization and both are related, we will explore the possibility. I believe that both are doable for imminent development.

I was thinking more along the lines of a "tag line" that could be permanently attached to a ship ID. Maybe it would display on the same screen as the ship graphics you suggest. It does n ot have to be a graphic representation on the ship itself. Maybe like the following.....



"First sailed the seas flying the flag of the notorious Captain Da Vinci on Avonmora date 1423"

"Was sunk by Pirate Roberts on Avonmora date 1640"

"Raised from the seafloor on Avonmora date 1655"



Maybe not that detailed. I am not sure what the coding would look like for such an upgrade. But I was thinking something similar to the player biography, but could be shown on the same ship screen as the graphics you proposed.

I see what you mean. I would prefer to see that in the captains log where spy networks and trademasters are located. Like a quartermastery of each ship in the office that shows the “reputation” the ship has or its history. I can see what you mean

I hipe more on ship history is implemented in the future as i have a collection waiting to be in a museum

Very cool
