There Will Be Ship Customization
Rare knows that “everyone wants to own a ship.” Neate confirmed that players will be able to customize their ships in all sorts of ways, including the upgrading and equipping of new cannons. Players can use their looted treasure to purchase cannons with longer ranges or better power, and create a ship that is truly your own. Players will also be able to visit their friends’ ships and see what sorts of upgrades or customization options they have, and then work towards that themselves. While you won’t be able to steal things while visiting other ships, you can actually do so in the middle of battles if you’re able to board another opponent’s ship.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a real pirate game if you couldn’t customize your own Jolly Roger. Every player can customize their flags to establish their own unique pirate identity in Sea of Thieves.
