But hey who's perfect? They need to put a delay on releasing ships like there is on almost everything else. The fact you can release a ship with an accidental click makes no sense. (And yeah, I've done it a few times). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

photek 66 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) lets say you release a ship if you click OK with no name in it you can NOT rename it if you click CANCEL with no name in it you can rename it i got two where i clicked ok but f it. mine wich i can not rename are now called Brigantine and on the heck of the ship there is nothing written, an empty plate. renaming ship with CD would be great but idk if it should be if you already gave it a real name. maybe one time change for typing errors.

The menu comes up, acts like you can change the name, by entering in a new name, However after pushing Accept the name doesn't change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INVALID 1,037 Posted July 17, 2019 It was by design that players weren't able to rename ships, as we had some intentions surrounding keeping a log for each boat on board, in order to follow it's 'voyage'. Whilst the renaming-prevention implementation may need some work (as highlighted above), there is an argument that it be scrapped until that entire system is in place. So whilst there isn't an ETA right now, it may be something that you see changed in the future. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
