This would be a nice feature, however this does not allow the game to pay for itself over time. If you have to buy your paint scheme each time you lose your ship it will allow the game to be at the very least maintain over the years.

As I stated. Theres is a huge challenge of policing ship names unless the devs create name presets. similar to that of my suggest preset patterns for the sails.

If it is done the way I have suggested there is no way to have any image like that. Since you would have preset patterns to choose from and then preset colors to choose from. NO user created content.

I was unaware of that.

They could add a graphic option to make all sails white like they are currently. Actually I will add that on my op

You can have all the gold in game you want but it doesn't give you an unfair advantage over someone who doesn't have the money to buy paints.

I think they should be tradable as not every player has the ability to make purchases like this but will allow others to buy them and then sell them. However I do not agree you should be able to get these items unless you or some else pays for it.

The best way to increase the money the game makes with out making the game pay to win is very simple. All you need to do is make customization of the ships possible and by charging small micro transactions you greatly increase games income as well and give the game a more marketable look. This will also bring some players back and retain players. VERY few games offer true customization. PAINT Selling packs of 3 paint notes for $5 each note is one time use and universal. Each note will be like ship note with two drop menus, one for primary color and one for secondary color. This feature will not only grant players to make ships their own but will also allow clans to be able to run the same color ships in battle. Basic Sails Again selling these in pack of 3 for $5. Each sail note would have three drop menus. The first being pattern such as Diamond, cross, X , Checkered, Diagonals (left and right), Vertical and horizontal stripes, or any other basic design. The remaining to would be color options. Just like the clans can have a specific pattern and colors for their clan members to sail in battle. Premium Sails Premium sails would be $10 each. These sails would be presets such as: French fleur-de-lis pattern: Purple sails and Gold fleur-de-lis Templar cross: White with a Red Templar cross Black Tattered Sails: Dark grey sails with holes in it (dark grey due to sun fading) Holes would strictly be visual and not affect wind. (prolly a nightmare to create). *adding an option to remove custom sails under graphic would allow people to chose if they want to see these sails as well as possibly help lower end computers render a better image.* Unlike many suggestion that don't offer anything besides making a select group of players happy this is something that both benefits the devs and all players. Everyone I have talked with in game aggress this would be a great thing to have as long as it doesn't lead to Pay-to-Win. The biggest thing here is allowing the game to make money off existing players to help further the development of the game, but at the same time not requiring you to spend any more money on the game to enjoy it or be successful. Ship Names Allow players to change the names on ships that current have name plates such and the surprise and frigate which are just random letters. Like the above you charge for this in packs or as single items. Only issue with this is that it could be abused making this aspect of my suggestion not so great. I am unsure how to regulate ship names unless you make preset names to select. I apologize for the horrible topic title. small edit forgot to add Ship names.

allowing combat marks to be converted to PVP marks doesn't promote PVP. Using PVP mark to get combat marks means you still have to PVP to be able to convert.

The only way to get rid of ganking is to have more people on all side out pvping which you reasons for them to go do that.

I have a two simply suggestions to promote PVP over AI grinding. 1. We allow PVP marks to be converted to combat marks at a rate of 50:1 ratio or something similar. *retracted* 2. Allow PVP marks to be used to by a "blank skill book" that when it is used will great a drop down list of all owned skill books allowing you to create a copy of any book you have learned. This will promote people to go out and earn PVP marks to either pay someone to convert a book to convert a book they already own instead of grinding AI fleets in hopes the book drops. I have suggestion on how much to make this item cost but it would be a great incentive for PVP besides the few upgrades and ship notes currently offered. People spend for too many hours grinding AI fleets and missions trying to find rare books that could be copied and sold.

TAO has split into two factions. TAO on the US side and TRR on the Pirate side. I believe Pete2 is the person yo need to contact to join TAO.

My biggest concern is Larger clans being able to lock out clans from ports if they wish. There are a ton of internal issues with clans in some of the nations. Are we going to be able to attack ports within our own nation if the owning clan has us listed as unfriendly. IF we don't have the ability to attack ports and player of our respected nation than the problems that we currently have with inter-clan relations are only going to get worst because you can now prevent certain clans from getting into port battles and from getting into ports.

If TAO was such an irrelevant clan people wouldn't feel the need to attack us in our recruitment thread now would they feel the need to attack us both in Nation and Global chat. AS well the brits wouldn't be trying to stop us if we were not a threat. TAO has enough support with in the us to be able to field 25 ships plus screen ships to any port battle we set and atleast a 1/3 of all ships would be from TAO. We are not the small clan we were a month ago. We Declared our independence to put every clan within the US nation that TAO will operate outside of the Congress and it notifies clans of other nations that are looking to make treaties for trade goods or support. TAO has already entered into several trade agreements to further build up our clan. This is the start of the revolution with in the US political system. As TAO grows so does our threat and ability to pull more US clans to our Coalition. Which will eventually exile NPG the way they have done several clans that do now follow their lead.

Fixed the spelling error to appease those who just can not resist to correct spelling and grammar. As for order of business TAO will do what is best for TAO and nothing else.

HAHA Jobaset even saw yall refuse to engage until we started to log off and only had one person left online.

National unity is a joke. There is no national unity in some nations as it stands. Nations should be removed and make this clan v clan. Making it where only clans can PVP and War Companies the alliance system. This would be the simplest thing and would allow people to do PVE safely removing the need for a PVE server. Population rises and there is now no concern with one nation become more powerful then another. If a clan or War Company becomes to strong people of the server can ban together more easily to fight larger powers. I believe this will create more excitement with in the game which in turn will boost server population and bring new players to the game. That is the goal in these changes anyway.

We the members of The American Outlaws remove ourselves for the oppressive rule of NPG and the so called "US Congress". Their leadership has made the nation weak. From here on out let it be known that TAO will forever fight for the rebuilding of a once great nation and power. This is a call to all clans and players to join us and know that we will NEVER RUN from a fight. No matter how many hateful things are said towards us we will never run from the Nation. We will never give up the fight. As TAO continues to grow and gather support all that stand in our way in rebuilding the once great US Nation will be sunk. Join us by either becoming a part of TAO or by forming a Coalition of Clans. Let us fight side by side. For Glory, For the Reward, For the Fun. Rebuilding the US nation will help return server to a good level of action and population.

I take no lip from no one. The more we fight the more they run. TF and VCO refuses to engage TAO when we are grinding hostility. The Brits fear us, The US shun us, and the Pirates love us. WE ARE THE AMERICAN OUTLAWS. Your feelings don't matter. TAO first, TAO last, TAO always.

We like taking for ever to grind up the port. More fun taking traders.

Just a friendly boost. The American Outlaws are more alive then ever. We continue to grow and fight and now have taken the fight to the brits to expand the US nation. Come join the only clan working to better the nation.

I was just trying like to help like everyone else here

I hate to inform you but; you don't say which server you on, the name of your clan( Clan Tag doesn't count), what is the clan's agenda/goals. This are all things you need to have a success recruitment campaign. If you need any help correcting these issues look at the other clan recruitment threads.

The American Outlaws are still recruiting and will always be recruiting.

The War supplies being able to be bought is a little much on the system. HOWEVER, ship knowledge is good but I would like to see the needed exp to unlock the slots tweaked a bit.
