Fly More Flags and Make Your Own Flag

Having logos and banner designs as other unlockable items would be great as long as they are not simply turned into microtrasactions. If there are predefined icons and borders that are combined to create a sigil that would be the best way to get around innappropriate flags/sails.

Also completely custom sails for a Captaincy update would be AMAZING.

@x-crowheart-x it's a nice idea but it would remove any reasons to buy sails or flags, also there will always be people who make inappropriate images like always. And by doing this rare sails and flags like the Founder's sails would become pretty valueless because anybody could copy or make something better.

Nice idea but I don't think it could be implemented without annoying people or messing up the already existing sails and etc. Like I said nice idea but I don't think it could work at all sadly.

The idea is Rare controls what content can go on a flag by having preset choices. It would have set icons, backgrounds, borders, colors, etc. to choose from. Players have to choose from set combinations. Players could not create anything inappropriate that way. It would also not allow duplication of other flags or banners. I am not talking about sails at all so there is no impact there.

The motto would be a potential problem to manage if allowed. Unless it went through a very good filter system or more than likely an approval process, mottos would not be an option.

It probably would work best as a banner, pennant flag to fly under all the flags we already have and will come later if Rare cannot add additional placement options. The other flags could still be flown. The intention is the crew one replaces nothing. It is an extra one that could be flown at all times. Just need to make adjustment so the alliance pennant could be flown at the same time if flags cannot be placed at other locations on our ships.

They should make a companion app that allows the creation of pirate clans, and the creation of a flag, and possibly tattoo, that would be associated with that clan. These would be overseen by olayers but monitored and approved by rare on a semi regular basis.

That way not everyone has a crew of 4 and just pretends they are a clan and makes their own flag, or makes inappropriate flags/tats.

If we will be allowed to do this it should have meaning, im not saying you couldnt go through the trouble to make a flag for a small clan, but that it would be better to join/create larger ones and have the flags be approved by rare.

A crew tattoo would be cool. Have a tattooist located on an island. You and your crew could go up to that NPC to select, purchase, and acquire your ink link together.

Even with preset customization options, some pretty gross stuff can still be made, and with Rare being family-friendly and not even allowing the ability to crouch down due to the possibility of teabagging, I just don't see this happening.

It is a real shame to worry about things so much like that. Why play video games at all if everyone fears what other players are going to do. Maybe we should get bubble wrap coats and hats as a choice in the shops, and the shipwright can wrap our hulls in it to be extra safe.

Seriously, that is why we have the ability to report inappropriate actions and behavior and players can be banned. For eight months an endless stream of players are constantly saying, screaming, and suggesting far worse than a stupid bag of tea reference introduced by immature PvP players.

The game at many times is very far from being a family game because of what is said out loud. Should voice chat be removed? Should text chat be removed on the PC? No is the right answer.

We must never allow others to have power over us through fear and intimidation. Such an option could be done right. It would also be totally ridiculous if Rare never introduces the ability to crouch so thieving pirates can sneak around. Player bodies do not even stay where their pirate dies to allow such moronic behavior.

@x-crowheart-x mate I would love to have this in game because in the past pirates had there own flags that where symbolic to them
