upgrades/gameplay petition - idea

[captnt]

The more and more you upgrade your weapon, there's chance the weapon is going to break depending how long you used that same weapon. i always wanted a proper upgrade weapon for my character and not just ship. as important as upgrading your ship your character is also important, because when you upgrade your weapon it's gonna make the game easier but it's gonna cost alot since it require to repair it. While i don't expect everything going to be implemented easily, it would be awesome if you guys can at least put a feature that we can enjoy to role-play either being the governor or pirate in between.

Merchant Raiding

This project is NOT Hearts of Oak. It is to begin as a remake of the original PotC game using the Unity engine.
If the project is to succeed, extremely fancy ideas like yours have to be ignored until the base game is up and running.
