Hello!
I have came up with several ideas, which in my personal opinion, would make the game a wee bit more interesting. Please note that I do not know how the programming of this game works and some of these suggestions might be impossible, or rather more hard to do than they're worth.
First off - Storms.
More of a nuisance, rather than an actual threat. The best way to avoid damage in a storm would be to completely raise all sails and aim your ship towards the waves, after you take less than 30 seconds to do that you just have to wait. Unfortunately, sometimes quite a bit.
I think that a good way to make storms more interesting (and also add a reason to ''hunt for them'') would be to occasionally spawn special enemy ships, such as The Flying Dutchman, Cursed Black Pearl, Queen Anne's Revenge, Ghost Caravel, etc. Which the player could get to fight during a storm, of course this is a large problem if you're just starting out with a 7th, 6th tier ship. However, storms are rather easily avoided and the ships would spawn rarely. I feel like this would give more players a reason to look for storms for the ability to sink or capture one of these rare special ships, rather than buy them from Isla de Muerte.
First Person.
Currently we have the ability to go in first person when walking around town, however as soon as we take out our weapon or start talking to someone we immediately switch back to third person. My suggestion would be to, if possible of course, keep the first person view while fighting or talking, by removing the heads of the characters and placing the camera there, or keeping the heads and simply placing the camera slightly in front of the characters' heads.
I really hope that the ghost ship idea could be implemented, as I often find myself wanting to scout the Caribbean sea in search of these legendary ships for an epic battle, but unfortunately to my knowledge they can only be found in Isla de Muerte, where you can only buy them, rather than fight.
