    treasure maps make more than enough gold for any island.
    tame a bear or three , and do treasure maps. On each island collect the maps, get the discoveries, tame things you find along the way.
    Go to the next one and see if you have any maps for that area and do those. Harvest any new resource (5-10k of each) you haven't acquired yet for the blueprints you find. Then after a few days head home and feed your flag. after  few outings you will have enough gold in your flag to last months. Then, you can focus on making gold for other purposes or build a better ship to make your island hops even more productive. This game is extremely easy even for someone just starting out, especially for PVE. I am a pve Soloer and I can have my trading business up and running in two weeks with a galleon if I want...I prefer a brig though. You just need to focus and prioritize.

    no man. sorry while it is a fun suggestion, this could be exploited in so many ways. 
    Now, a way to put your prize ship in a bottle for display would be great. so if you have a ship sunk you can still keep the memory of it. 
    I make soe pretty cool custom ships and I hate when it gets sunk before I can make a record of how awesome it was.

    This just is not true.
    Maps from different grids still are not grabbable.

    Is there something server owners need to do besides making sure the server is up to date and verified?
    Is there a refresh maps sort of command the server owner can run?

    you have to spec in weapons or your weapons wont do beans. You have to tame animals to fight other animals and treasure map AoD or you will die horribly every time. This is someone who didn't PLAY the game but tried to rush through, spent his points wrong, got frustrated and rage quit. Spec all the way down in Bow and you will devastating damage to stuff. Tame a top level bear and you will be just fine against most everything in the game except powerstone ...that is a meta in itself... Try playing on a private server with boosted  stats. You may have a better time of it.

    Please ad Jib sails to the game!

    My suggestion on how to introduce Jib sails beyond the cosmetics.


    Once a Jib sail is crafted or looted,  (maybe have the blueprint found only in sunken ships)

    ....the player adds it to a box on the ship like a saddle on an animal.
    You can have different abilities for different Jibs.
    - Stationary  pivoting Jib
    - Backing Jib
    - Storm stabilization Jib (keep your ship going in a straight line in a typhoon)

    different tiers of these give better performance.
    And complete the look and feel of our ships.

    everyone should look up Tacking techniques on the google. Tacking small when the wind is directly forward is fast but when the wind is slightly to one side or the other tacking large with the direction of the opposing wind is way faster. Think way wider zigzags. Have fun and get creative with it once you understand how it works you start to feel like the old man and the sea in no time.

    No damn fast travel for ships! OMG

    Sailing is arduous. It is supposed to be. 
    Get friends to be on board with you. Get a diving platform to dive wrecks, fight sotd. Discover islands, 

     

    I just cant stand shit-wind when I have to be someplace in a hurry.

    This needs to be a thing. Even if they are simply cosmetic. Have them appear once the sails are all the way down. or better yet have them improve backing speed and stopped rotation speeds even if only 10%. EVERY sailing ship you see in history has these jib sails. Our ships looks so naked without them.

    Please add Jib Sails.

    Iif mapping is boring, you are doing it wrong.  Take a full day and get some bears and start your maps...then get the maps from that island and do those. take a spyglass so you can do discoveries while you are at it. throw cliff maps on the ground, they are a waist of time.  Do maps in the tundra for the whaling gold bonus. My point is, if you stay moving exploring, gathering rare mats for trade, whaling, ship wreck diving,...after an afternoon of fun you will have enough gold to sustain your island for quite some time. so that you have time to do your building...or going after end game content. we do this with a four man company  and two brigs while having a blast in discord voice. the game is what YOU make of it. If you are bored, then you are doing it wrong.

    I liked the cupboards in RUST make the spot the diameter of the old sea claims. give one per tribe. Increase the size of the claim radius a % for every member over 10.  That circle is more than enough to have a base set up. you place that sucker right at the shore and it protects your ships and shipyards and give plenty of land area for barns houses ...or a castle... Let the company owner choose square or round. Have no allys but allow Hunting Parties to form for daily hunting that only last 10 hours and must be renewed and all be online to be in the adventure group.

    The only  real challenge here would be for your company to strategically find that perfect piece of shoreline... (not a whole damn island)
    PvE of course this would never work for pvp unless you have said claim have the raid window like colonies.
