My post 300+ hours of gameplay suggestions:
1. Do away with Flag Capitan, Commodore and Rear Admiral Rank names and rename: Capitan Rank 1, 2 & 3 or Flag, Fleet and Senior Captain, or Captain Seniority 1, 2, 3, etc.. We don't need 100's of Rear Admirals running around....ahistorical...we are all basically going to be Captains in this game, not admirals.
2. Keep the current teleport system but add travel chits as a battle reward. maybe it takes "X" points to travel to Tumbado from where you are. You earn travel chits or points as a result of battle. You can redeem these points or chits to teleport ships to outposts. This would be a reward for doing battles (PvP or PvE) and give you something to earn after you have achieved the highest rank. maybe only the highest rank can earn travel chits. Explain this away in that if you are a high level rank, you have junior officers to take care of sailing these vessels and prizes to other places. You are too busy for such menial tasks at your high rank.
3. Please add some customization features...ship names, color schemes, figureheads, sail emblems, etc... I am so sick of seeing the same old ships sailing around...too bland...
4. Add some set up variety to the Admiralty Missions...ships start from several different set up positions...different formations, etc.. Facing off abreast, battle after battle is dull....
5. Similar to #2: Add BP Boost Chits as a random battle drop....boosts crafting BP drop chance by "X" %....can be used or traded.....perhaps you only get these at the highest rank....need some rewards for battles after you rank up, since you don't need the XP anymore....
You have a winner here....this is a good game...keep up the good work....
