Currently flags are not on the OW due to optimization issues. 

Here is what will definitely happen:

 

• sails and yards will turn properly on the OW (right now they are somewhat broken
• there will be a main flag on your ship
• on the enemy ships we don't yet know how we will do it because if too many ships gather in one place - too many animated flags will cause fps issues. 

 

Admin, how about closed ports on trader ships to address my other thought. And i understand why flags in open world would be a problem. Thanks for considering my suggestions.

Trader ships should have their ports closed. I also think that flags should be flown not just in combat, but also while sailing around. 

 

[Name your boat ehm ship!]

If I could choose a name for my Vessel it would be: 'Glory'. This name implies that I take some pride in my vessel and that It will bring further Glory to the Crown! I had a Frigate in Civ V that i renamed to glory and it singlehandedly took out my enemy's entire navy. Tis' a good name for a ship, and a lucky name as well.

IDK if a system has been implemented yet, however If i was in a brig and all of a sudden an unfriendly 100+ gun first rate decided to attack me, I'd flee! Is there an outrun option for Naval Action? I haven't been able to play the game as of right now.

[Little things you'd like to see]

When a Ship sinks crew attempting to escape in lifeboats would be a nice little touch

[Ship Customization]

I have be thus far unsuccessful at obtaining the game, but when i can I would love to see this tiny feature added: Custom nameplates to be added to the back of a ship where you can type in a name for your vessel.
