Player made item for ship renames

A small change I'd like to suggest is to add a "nameplate" item as a recipe for shipyards that is required in addition to rogue marks for a ship rename.

In order to order a ship rename the item would be consumed from the pirates inventory as well as the rogue marks. Just another recipe to generate demand for player made items.

Suggested Recipe:

1 gold paint.
10 wood.
3 lacquer.
10 iron.
5 expert labour.
1 doubloon delivery cost.

Tied in apothecaries and distilleries to the production chain to try to spread the demand between the shoppe types.

Given that this would cost ~ 15k at today's prices, possibly only have it required for "custom" names. Other option would be to have different recipes for small, medium, and large ships to align the cost with the ship value.

Thanks for reading.

How about no?

It was a godsend when they switched from Shanghais to Rogue marks.

It doesnt need to change now.

We just need some more items we can use RMs for.

It seems like a solution in search of a problem, don't you think? If you want to generate demand for player-made items, try introducing more players (which will also increase the supply of player-made items, but proportionately smaller.)

I would also question how this would work on existing renamed ships. You'd have to grandfather them in, because the playerbase would riot and rebel if they were forced to pay again for something they'd already paid for.

No one has asked for this. Possibly for good reason.
