On the thread of Females and Avatars I MAY be the only Female on here at the moment and wanted my 2 cents worth. First off, there were far more females sailing the Ocean Blue than you might think, and many of those were not just wives of officers, though there where the share of those. Some of the most successful pirates in history have been female. While we all know of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, those two were not really successful, but they were women and they were pirates. Fact about Mary. Mary or Mark as she was known as served on board a British ship when she was younger. She then joined an Infantry unit, fought n the Nine Years war, joined a mounted unit and gained rank and was known as one of the best fighters in the unit. During this time she fell in love with a man and after the war the two wed. She dressed as a woman until the death of her husband and as was the ways of that time, it meant she had nothing. She joined another ship and sailed but the capt was not good. When Calico Jack and Anne raided her ship, she joined them. Anne found out about Mary being female and the two at times dressed as male, and other times as female. it was a known fact that the the two were female pirates If you want some great books Seafaring Woman: Adventures of Pirate Queens, Stowaways, and sailors wives
The Only Life that mattered - About Anne, Mary and Jack Mary Read, Sailor, Soldier, Pirate These are but a few It is a fact that women did serve more often than though on ships. Most disguised themselves as males. This has been the case in history and goes back a long time. So Yes, I want female avatars. Not all manly looking ones, but not overly serialized as that is not realistic either. Now with that, what do I want - Be able to name my ship Be able to change my country flags (This was done often to lure or to keep one's ship safe) Not sailing through Land (I see this a lot and hope it is just a thing in test) I want to see damage from sailing into land or reefs Music... Yeah that would be cool, period and typical naval songs Voice commands - When you give the command to turn to port, have the voice say Turn to port like an officer repeating commands (No biggy if they are not but would be cool) Storms - We have rough sea's and they can be a pan, but man are they cool to sail and fight in Real weather aka fog, no wind Ships sitting in water lower when loaded with heavy cargo, and sitting high when low cargo. Rumors Ok that will do for now I think.
