What you think about change place of stern ship flag on more correctly position in POTC Build Mod?.

I also suggest to replace other mast flags with Pennants.

Look at picture which I make for example.

Are this changes is possible to make?
 
galleons didn't have their flag there. that was only done until later. they had two flags, one on the main and one on the foremast, maybe one on the spritmast if there was one, and pennants from the crow's nests.

slight correction: they had a flag on each mast tip. pennants wheren't always rigged up, and with the really big ones, there where also flags mounted on the corners of the fore and stern castles.

Ahoy Morgan,

Thanks for correcting me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> . I don't know historically correct flag position for all ship class in POTC.

When I make this example I have in mind today most common place for main flag in modern ships (on stern mast) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
that flag you've drawn is used on ships like the corvette, which already has one. the flags are more or less correct already. however, i'm not sure if we can make pennants. flags come in a square shape, and i think we'd need to add a new kind of flag to the flag list to make pennants. even then, all flags on the ship would be pennant-shaped if selected.
 
There's a lot that can be done with messing around with the ships' locators in Inez Dias' Tool. I copied the flag "poles" on the sterns of most ships in a Russian mod to almost all Build mod ships, so in my game most ships have got big flags. But improvements are always welcome. I am thinking perhaps the Schooner Xebec needs two of her flags removed. The ship's got three masts and each has a really big flag:

I think it'd look better if only the stern mast had a big flag.
 
yeah, that one is kinda excessive. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_confused.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="icon_confused.gif" /> i've seen it a lot. i'd prefer the removal of either the masthead flags or the ones on the gaffs, but those look good.
 
I hadn't even noticed there's also a masthead flag. I think it'd be nice to just have one big one at the stern and get rid of the others.
 
There seems to be six flags:
1 big one on the middle masts
2 long but smaller pennants on the fore and stern mast
3 big flags on the sails of each masts

I would suggest to at least remove the flags on the sails of the fore and middle mast and change the middle mast big flag to a pennant or remove it altogether.
