Pets that help you

    First your game is awesome and I believe I speak for the community at large of our sincere appreciation for maintaining the games integrity in that, the game cost money to buy and nothing after that. No having to buy updates, and certainly no loot boxes or spending real money to increase abilities.

    Idea for having pets help you.

    1. You would have to buy pets with game coins not ancient coins to keep with the game integrity
    2. Pets have certain benefits associated with them to help with gameplay
    • Rats slowly gnaw at your ship, creating holes. More rats spawn on bigger ships. Cats help clean up the rats that are otherwise a nuisance.
    • Birds collect individual supplies (specifically thinking of the random boards and fruit lying around on the ground) when on an island or stopped at a collection of items in the water
    • Monkeys collect small treasures when on an island or stopped at a collection of items in the water.
    • Dogs help you fight when engaged with enemies. Specifically I'm thinking they hold an enemy and interfere with their ability to attack while doing slow damage

    All interesting and fun ideas. A reason why abilities weren't added to pets was you can't have an advantage and have pay to win.
    The only way it would work would be to give everyone one of each pet and allow only one pet at a time on a ship.

    I agree which is why I mentioned pets would have to be purchased with game coin instead of Ancient coin. I think the current mechanic where each person can have one pet would be helpful. And that pet would only help that specific person.

    I think you should think over the rats and cats bit...

    Not having a cat would actively punish you by directly damaging your ship (cuz rats) and the rats bit as a whole would be inconvenient for players who frequently find themselves stuck on land for prolonged periods of time, such as for tall tales.

    Maybe the cats can find fish when near the shore or when you're wading through water (excluding trophy fish) that way they provide a benefit instead of prevent a punishment, bringing it more in line with the other companions.

    (Also surprised the dogs don't help you dig or bury things, but maybe the foxes can do that?)

    I like the idea though.

    Just let me equip all my pets.

    Pets don't need abilities, buying them with gold or doubloons would put newer pirates at disadvantages.

    Pay to win, no matter how you slice it. Sorry.

    @monkeyboy80 Or no. Petas are an interactive cosmetic. They should be no more useful than a hat. The crews I sail with do not use pets, they are annoying. Their incessant noise is annoying.

    See now if they allowed multiple pets, then pets could help pets.

    The monkey could use a bucket to clean up after the dog and the parrot :)

    It would be a lot cooler if pets interacted with each other.
