[2019] Changes that would make life grand!

1: Get rid of Vitamin Surpluses.. it makes zero sense, and on that same note either scrap the entire vitamin system, or simplify it to Meat/Fruit/Veg

2: Flotsams need to be much much rarer, but with actual loot. Instead of building blueprints something like some ammo, a gun, maybe a sword or something would be worth stopping for.

3: Alphas need loot, like special treasure maps or something, or maybe some of that mystic element when it has a use

4: Blueprints, why do they need a ton of different things of the exact same resources.. thats stupid.

5: Taming I can deal with the bolas, I can deal with the obscure materials, what I cant deal with is that you HAVE TO BE SPECED INTO TAMING just to ride them. Which entirely defeats the purpose of having a "group tamer"

6: Salvaging is in a better place (now that its possible) but it really need improvement still, we need lights on the suit, and remove the melee damage reduction while wearing it. Also should be able to reel in the suit when your down, so that you can move large amounts of salvage. Either that or we need deploy-able balloons, where we can fill them with items and float it to the surface.

7: To add to 6 you cant currently clear salvage.. so even if there is literally nothing left of the boat below it remains as wreckage on the surface.

8: Limit claims, its been said 100X but here it is

9: Gold needs more uses, the dragon is cool but its 50k, the dyes you can make for free, and the cosmetic ship upgrades are neat but you cant really do much with that. My recommendation is allowing us buy special items we cant normally get with gold, like new ship bps, ship parts, guns, crossbows, spear guns, all sorts of new stuff.

10: Fishing, there is zero reason to fish currently. You get more fish... but nobody bothers with that since dying is better that trying to fight vitamins.

11: Certain skills need their points reworked, its silly that metal tools costs 8 points when cannons cost 6.

12: We need ways of getting materials that everyone needs, but aren't high value, for example Salt, it would be nice if we could gather salt water in buckets and let it dry in basins.

13: Function Ships, We need options to spec ships for certain functions, for example. A fishing boat that has a net dragging behind it for gathering fish. A salvaging boat that has a crane to pull the wreckage to the surface. Or a ironclad thats super slow but high defense.

Like these are just some basic ideas that would be amazing to add in my opinion
