My ideas

[Burnout]

I was thinking that maybe in the future the build team can add some uninhabited islands that would be ideal for a building a pirate hideout. Also, for roleplays sake I was thinking that when you start a new game Malcolm is the Captain of your ship and hes going into retirement and leaving the ship to you. Kinda fits in well with the tutorial and all as well as makes you feel more like your starting your legacy.

Thats all I can think of for now, if I come up with anymore, Ill post them.

the second idea is already somewhat used when you pick the gunboat as a starting ship. try it out! as for the first, i think the uncharted island in the center would be nice for that.

(note: i'm not a modder. me agreeing means nothing for the idea being realised. if you want to change some sounds or music though, i'm always here to help!)

Ha ha! I know what you mean. I have so many ideas, but I haven't the slightest understanding of all the programs used. I guess we're the concept artists and directors in a movie, we have ideas and create a few visuals to convey the idea, but we don't really have the tools or skills to make them.

Do what I'm doing, read all the post, hints, fact sheets and tutorials you can get your hands on in the forums, grab a copy of C++ for dummies and teach yourself. (BTW keep backups of every file otherwise you get to do lots of reinstalls). I'm also playing with all the stuff from peters page trying to figure out how to do skinning and 3D graphics and mods. I did manage to change the back of the Bermuda Sloop from "Sting Ray" to “Caribbean Witch”. It's neat to sail a ship with it's name on the stern.
