starting ships

[darkhunter]

what about more than one starting ship.some that fit the aop classes

[starfixer]

Would be nice. And some could be unlockables with the awards.

Great suggestions. We'll get this added as soon as possible.

We'll also make sure some of them can be purchased or unlocked as well.

how can you purchase starting ships if you don't start with any money?

Since we are on the topic of starting ships... I was thinking of this this morning, so I just want to throw this out there. It would be very very very cool, if you could allow an award-unlockable Ice Demon ship.
E.g. if your Captain gets killed by an Ice Demon on Crazy, you get to come back as one of them!

Of course, this would be a very low priority addition, if even possible, since it would take a lot of coding to change how ships/cities/nations react when you approach...

I can answer for Cory Trese right now when I say that that's not happening. Ice demon ships in AoP are probably like hulk, narvadian or alien ships in ST. They're way overbalanced and not designed to be controlled by sailors, plus the ships themselves probably have some type of special ability.

I don't know about special abilities, but the Ice Demons ships are pretty average or even below (I.e. I would not even consider using a regular ship with the same stats).

Well if they're average stats, then why would you want to have one right?

Because the art is badass.

Not for the ship itself, only if it offered a different mode of gameplay, for example, maybe everyone else will freak out and run away from you, but high level bounty hunters and treasure hunters will hunt you down. Maybe you can't enter any ports and your ship and captain just heals over time instead (you are undead after all). Maybe you earn points for getting unique ship upgrades from destroying ships. Anyway, it's just a fun idea that I don't expect ever seeing.

And yes, the artwork is badass, lol...

[ncaoa]

Ah. You ment a new game mode. Mabey that's possible in AoP.
