Your ideas for Cyberops Master Expansion:

Gun Pierson · Gunner Posts: 809 **5053 Gold** -

Cyberops wants to know if we still have some good ideas they possibly can add in the expansion. Isn't that awesome? Your thoughts are welcome Wink

- Increase in the amount of gold in pirate burried treasures . I started a poll earlier today in the mod section on that.

- An option that emblems show on the main sail of Frigates and the other ship classes who don't do this. Grsmith320 pointed this one out.

- Some people would like to enable the use of apostrophes when creating a new ship name for example.

- It's just an idea, but maybe a slightly increase in gold the treasure fleet carries. I know the fleet follows a certain pattern, but it should be worth to chase it. It would also make up the loss of the silvertrain a bit.

- An option that other ships in your fleet don't slow you down. I'm not talking about the speed boost option here that works for all your ships.

Definitely an increase in the buried treasures. Here's my vote in this thread for that one.

I thought I might copy the info from the thread in the Custom/Mod section as to what had already planned on being included to avoid repeats of suggestions, for Cyberops sake. The less time he spends sorting through our requests, the the more time he'll actually have to work.

Here's what I have, feel free (please) to ammend this list:Pirates Master

I agree with the Pirates treasure issue.

As I said to Cyberops, could be a good thing to improve the performance of Galleons.
They are too easy to defeat, and sometimes I like to use one as my combat ship.

How about an option that makes War Canoes fly?

Oops! I forgot that they already do that.

Heh heh heh Twisted Evil

The really big option: letting enemy ships initiate battle.

That would really change the game.

this was someone else's idea, i forget who.
when you visit a pirate haven, all that the famous pirates tell you is go away or i'll give you the black spot, even if you are a significantly higher rank than them. i think something should change but that's where my creativeness ends, sadly.
also, i feel that officers should get more moves, sort of like indian scouts because right now, they're just supped up pirates.

I dare not make anymore requests or this mod will never get done! LOL!

I got everything I want listed already: always happy crew, apostrophe mods, and no dancing (or automatic dancing).

I'll experiment with some of the other options which will really help keep the game fresh with so much variety and choices, but all I want is to use apostrophes!!! Hehehe! Razz

I miss from the old Pirates, that then you marry the beautiful daugther, then you get more gamepoints for that, instead now, that it does not matter if you getting marry plain or attractive daugther you get always 10 point/fame......
maybe getting marry with plain = 5 point
getting marry attractive = 10 point
getting marry beautiful = 15 point

Are you Duke yet? (Of the nation you are visiting.)
Once I get Duke, I only get that Grey Haired fop.
Before that (lesser ranks), have even gotten the original Captain.

I wonder if that is possible, but maybe a sheet to edit ship statistics (not only your own but all ships) could be added. Especially the cannon and maximum crew numbers would be of interest to me. The way these numbers are now, some ships are dominated by others (namely the frigate by the Brig of War, equal guns, equal crew, but the BoW turns faster).

Let the character sail with a kajak, when he's marooned, instead waiting for a ship for long time Very Happy

- I don't know if it's possible, but we had some topics on the parrots. It seems the files are in the game (animations too). So it would be nice to have them work somehow.

- Like someone posted earlier, it would be cool to keep track of casualties somewhere. So you see how much men died under your command in the game sofar. Also opponents casualties if possible.

- Another idea would be the ability to split your fleet like in the original game. That way you can strike with fast ships and accumulate goods for example at a strategic point where your bigger ships are anchored.
