Wouldnt it be awesome if you got something new to customize and make our own and why not give the players something to work for that is not money.
Instead of stealing tresure you could steal building materials to make your own base, imagine fighting to death over a bunch of planks , and then you could use those planks to build yourself a outpost and a base for your ships just the way you wanted.
Maybe even make a open market where you can sell/buy said materials to/from other players and make delivery missions where these items could be stolen from other players. Dunno if this is even possible ´, but i would love to see it.
Make you own pirate base/home/outpost
Not the same, but very similar request to https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/177162/own-an-island.
So I'll just copy-paste here what I've said there:
No offense, but I honestly don't see the point in Rare wasting resources and time for this. It's not Sea of Sims.
It's not a farming simulator or a crafting game. Just doesn't fit imo.if Rare decides to make an RPG spin-off crafting (and/or survival) game in the SoT universe (whether SP or Co-op), with a fully-fledged character creator in it, and all that stuff - I'd fully support it xD Just not for this game.
@r3vanns yea i can see your point.
but i was thinking that if you tie it together with high seas so you have to pvp, maybe it would bring back the feeling of a chest of legends in the old daysThe ship is the closets thing to a base I think we'll ever get. I like the idea of having like a guild base or whatever but I don't think it'll ever happen. Hopefully we see further expanded ship customization in the future (let us put hanging things (like paintings) on the gally second deck masts).
