  1. You should have some sort of ledger you can look at when you are out of port, that lists items in your warehouses, ships in different ports and that sort of things! I tend to keep forgetting what i have stored in different ports!
  2. Yes, annoying to not see them when you are sailing together with them!
  3. Hi. I have a suggestion on changing nations, sailing for multiple nations and the opportunity to start sailing for a nation instead of pirates. If this has been suggested before im sorry for bringing it back up. My suggestion is to introduce "Letters of Marque". From Wikipedia.com on how they worked during the Age of Sail: In the days of fighting sail, a letter of marque and reprisal was a government license authorizing a person (known as a privateer) to attack and capture enemy vessels and bring them before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale. Cruising for prizes with a letter of marque was considered an honorable calling combining patriotism and profit, in contrast to unlicensed piracy, which was universally reviled.[1] In addition to the term lettre de marque, the French sometimes used the term lettre de course for their letters of marque. "Letter of marque" was sometimes used to describe the vessel used: a "letter of marque" generally refers to a lumbering square-rigged cargo carrier that might pick up a prize if the opportunity arose.[2] A "privateer" was a fast and weatherly fore-and-aft-rigged vessel heavily armed and heavily crewed, intended exclusively for fighting. A "letter of marque and reprisal" would include permission to cross an international border to effect a reprisal (take some action against an attack or injury) authorized by an issuing jurisdiction to conduct reprisal operations outside its borders. How they could work in game: Lets say that you are a Pirate, and want to start sailing as a Privateer for Great Britain, France or whatever, or start sailing under their banners. In each Neutral port, every nation has a "Office of Representation" were you can start to interact with your nation of choice. If there is some kind of Reputation system with each faction, depending on your standing, you have to perform tasks for the nation you want to sail for, after reaching a specific tier of Reputation, you can buy/ or be rewarded a "Letter of Marque" and start to sail as a Privateer for them, and after reaching the next tier in Reputation, you can be implemented completely to that nation. As i understand, wanting to become a pirate is already implemented in the game by attacking ships that your nation is not at war with. If you have been a pirate for a long time, and attacked lots of traders, your reputation will be very bad with the nation you want to join, and therefore you must complete lots of missions for that nation to be allowed a "Letter of Marque". If you are sailing for GB and want to start sailing for Spain, you must either first become a Pirate, , and then reach out to the Spanish Office of representation in a neutral port, or reach out to the Spanish through the same office to get a "Letter of Marque" doing missions and so forth depending on your standing with them. The British will probably not like this, so your standing with them will be lowered. For each time you change nations, or each time you break a Nations rule, the price/number of missions to get a new "Letter of Marque" will rise. Maybe some missions for a Nation will make you an enemy of another state, thereby dropping your reputation all the way down, and you will be banned from a nations office for a limited time, rendering you unable to take missions for them in a limited time. Why this is a good idea? Introducing this function will allow for a dynamic game world. As you sail around you see captains sailing as a Pirate, and the suddenly he starts sailing under different colors. It will allso allow for Captains that dont have that much game time available to change between nations without having to level up a completely new player to play with friends who sail for different nations.
