Future Ideas for Warship Craft

We had all discovered that Jeong Saeng Park is here, I am making this to give our suggestions, since the comments of the Banned User Sheet was filling up with ideas.

Platform Suggestions

• Port the game to other platforms. Google Play would greatly increase playerbase.

- Random User : Strongly Agree, and make a way to transfer game data, I don't want to start over.

Weapon Suggestions:

• OTO Melara 76mm (Stealth cupola)
• 406mm/50 Mk. 7 (25% Lighter projectile with same penetration ability as Yamato.)
• 406mm gun (the Yamato's 3rd cannon, but it needs some crucial modifications. Look at the Yamato's 3rd cannon from top.)
• 457mm/47 Mk. A (Experimental gun proposed for Iowa and Montana-class BB's. Fired 3,850 lb projectile, heavier than Yamato's.)
• 510mm/45 Type 98 (Experimental gun proposed for A-150 Super Yamato. Fired 4,409 lb projectile.)

Decoration Suggestions:

• More cranes, like the ones on the mast of Japanese WW2 cruisers, also like the ones on large container vessels.
• Add bridge with windows, like the open bridge but with glass.
• Add 2x1 Fences and railings.
• More Masts
• More sigils
• Perhaps like bow heads, I'm not 100% what they're called but like the mermaids and things on the bow of pirate ships.
• A larger variety of weapons specific bases with more detailing such as ladders or doors.
• The thing on the back of the Yamato bridge.

Building Block Suggestions:

• 1/6 Hull/Armor: 3x1 up to 10x1
• 5/6 Hull/Armor: 3x1 up to 10x1
• 1/2 Hull/Armor: 3x1 up to 10x1
• Hull/Armor: 2x1, 3x1, 4x1, 5x1, 6x1 6x6x2 (600 mm armour), 12x12x4
• A 2x2x1 armor piece
• A curved piece which could make ships look more streamlined. (Look at Hansa, and at their hulls.)
• 0.5x0.5x0.5 hull/Armor.
• Organic, smooth Hull/Armor parts
• Ballast Tanks
• Spy 1 Hulls: (not with radar) 1/2, 1/3 , 5/6 items should be able to be 2 blocks wide (Be in the middle) like the guns:

• Fire Control Radar
• Sphere
• Bollard
• Ladder
• Propeller
• Modern Bridge
• Functional Radar and Sonar, Think of the possibilities! (I mean, one which can actually be destroyed.)
• Cylinder

---

Engine Suggestions:

• Nuclear Reactor
• Electric Motor (Can run while submerged)
• Diving planes which can be used to control the submarine
• dedicated diving rudder
• bigger propellers

More Chimneys/boilers

Aircraft Suggestions

• Douglas A-4 Skyhawk
• LTV A-7 Corsair II
• F/A 18 Super Hornet
• F-35B VTOL
• F-22 Raptor
• F-15E Strike Eagle
• Helicopters
• Hawker Hurricane
• Stuka or Ju-87 dive bomber
• V-1 flying bomb and launcher

• Float Planes
• Aircraft Elevators
• Catapults
• Runway from the Wasp-class carriers
• Mitsubishi A5M
• Mitsubishi B2M or Yokosuka B4Y
• Aichi D1A

Multiplayer Battle Modes/Mission Suggestions

• 2v2
• Fleet Battle (Like in Naval Craft, players can choose multiple ships to fight each other with in one battle)

• CO-OP Battle against AI (Like missions)
• LAN or Bluetooth Battle for players who are together and want low latency
• Warship(s) encounters
  • USS Montana Jeong: Not likely
  • USS Iowa Jeong: Im considering that one
  • USS North Carolina Jeong: Maybe
  • IJN Nagato Jeong: No, as this is a replica of Yamato
  • IJN Fuso Jeong: Maybe
  • Kongo class fast battleships
  • H-class battleships
  • Yamato and two Shinano. (Each CV has 8 fighters, 4 torpedo bombers, 4 dive bombers.) 9750 Gold when completed with three stars.
  • Two Iowa and three Enterprise. (Each Enterprise has 7 dive bombers, 3 torpedo bombers, and 8 fighters.) Can bring three ships. 12500 gold when completed with three stars.
  • Carrier Strike group: Two Atlanta, two Portland, one North Carolina, one Iowa, and five Enterprise along with two Langley. (Each Enterprise has 9 fighters, 6 dive bombers 9 torpedo bombers, and each Langley has 4 fighters, 3 torpedo bombers, and 3 dive bombers.) Can bring 5 ships, required to bring at least two. Max toughness for a ship: 12.5k. If completed with three stars, 16500 gold.
  • Some futuristic ships (yea same from anime)
  • AEGIS ships

• A battle with multiple stages in which you can call for reinforcements through a points system with maybe 30 points to be at the start with a battleship costing X and so on.

• A survival mission where you pick X amount of ships and fight of numerous waves of enemies.
• A challenging daily mission which rewards 1-3 crystals upon completion.

• 7v7 , let me explain. So here's how you can make the game more interesting, players get matched up by levels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, VIP). And once they found a game with people, they can use teamwork to destroy the other team. You have a huge map with islands and rocks, and maybe a set limit on how many parts or guns you can have on a ship (Say : Max : 5 Main guns.) and basically you fight it i, nothing more to it. I know this definitely won't get added, but it would be cool to add it.

Concepts

• A tech tree wherein you can earn experience from beating missions, but scarcely, and you can unlock certain abilities, and maybe more ship slots.
• Historical Campaign - There is a page about it

• Make the turrets actually turn

• Health for every module of the ship

• Third person view and control of battle, wherein you can give orders, to make the multi-ship battles more interesting.

• Cinematic view wherein you can see the view from a certain object, but not actually control it.

• dedicated submarine controls

• A spin-off of a training ship concept, a training mode which can teach players to use submarines, carriers, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships, and destroyers.

• Challenges which will increase your reward for a certain mission, such as weather conditions, limited shells, double trouble, and maybe start with a damaged ship. (Not my idea- Nimitz)

• Monthly submissions for a ship, and the winner will get X amount of resources or any reward.

• Campaign with an AI against you in a certain battlefield which can range from just a small theatre to the entire world, it might be a bit of a challenge, but if you got the AI to make the ships work on their own, it wouldn't be much of a challenge to create this, I think.
• Gun tiers by caliber. Tier one would be 100mm and destroyer guns (127mm, and 130mm), and than teir two would be light cruiser guns (155mm), then so on and so on.
• A option that allows you to have certain weapons fire on their own at anything hostile, but with a accurcy decrease.
• Crystal items can be bought with gold. (Expensive; 20k per Crystal(Except planes)
• Add a switch for carriers with runways that when flipped to "on", planes will automatically start launching off the flight decks. When flipped to "off", they will stop.
• An in-game chat, currently this wiki(which only has a tiny fraction of the entire playerbase) and the gallery are the only ways to interact with other players.
• A symmetry setting while ship building, this is common place in other design games. It should probably have different modes such as only hull, only weapons etc.
• Camera on certain blocks/planes or even shells, both third person and first person (bridges).

---

Animations

• An animation during try run which shows the ship actually exiting the dry dock
• An animation of the guns turning, and furthermore, a limit to where they can shoot dependent on the position.
• You can see actual, moving crew members, which make the ship come alive
• Make it able for your ship and the enemy's ship actually be able to catch fire.
• Dont simply make the turrets disappear, we want explosions, fires, and dead crew members.
• Make it if the crew members die then the weapon won't be functional
• Increase visuals of AA fire (add smoke/flash effects when machine guns fire, etc).

Store Items

• Update the Bismarck in the store with the one you just built for Stop the Operation Rhine

Jeong's Answer: In fact, I'm considering completely redoing the Bismarck. I may post a competition for a new Bismarck that is historically accurate. Perhaps a reward for the winner. Let's face it, the Bismarck in the store is poorly designed by me.

• USS Nimitz

• HMS Queen Elizabeth

• USS Ticonderoga (CG-47)
• USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000)
• Updated ships (with updated/more historically accurate guns and details)

• General Modern Destroyer

• Concept Modern Battleship
• Modern Aircraft Carrier
• Improved Battleship Skeleton
• PT boats (for beginners)
• More submarines

Changes

• Reduction in percentage taken by bofors guns, Destroyer mast, ladder, mine, anchor chain, angled mast, mast, mini mast, Mk 36 SRBOC, bridge, open bridge, cutter boat, stairs, the railings, hull numbers and letters, duct, boat davit, crane, anchor, officer, captain, reconnaissance aircraft, Rangefinder, AN/SPG-62, Spy-1 Radar, flight deck stern, 127mm/38 Mk12, 57mm/47 QF Mk1, M134 Minigun, Depth Charge, Oto Melara, VLS with Tomahawk, AK 630, and RGM-84 Harpoon. All of these I like to call "unstable parts" or parts that take up more capacity than what is normal.
• AA Accuracy... It's terrible... I understand it is to balance the AA but why not buff the damage instead of the accuracy?
• Fixing bugs, lag, and game crashes. (The turning glitch in which massive ships cannot turn is an especially annoying bug)
• More levels to match-making system.
• Increase rewards for missions.
• More missions involving fleet selector.
• Make fleet selector missions use more ships (e.g. up to 10 ships)
• Make it harder to hit planes with 203mm guns and larger while changing AA guns to hit planes better.
• Increase alpha damage on 406mm Mk. 6 to model the effect of Mark 8 Super Heavy Shell
• Make blocks use lesser height, beam and length because it is hard to replicate a real ship with the blocks (e.g. Myoko-class cruisers, Takao-class cruisers etc.)
• Maybe implement some sort of barrier to stop opponent ships from running away (30 km?) because one of the most annoying things about multiplayer is that players who think that they can't beat their opponent will just back away at full speed, necessitating the use of large numbers of planes and kind of defeating the point of multiplayer. -Praeceptor
• Jeong your lying on the naval ensign description. It says you can only add 3 flags per ship and ships are unlimited. Please let us have unlimited ships like the old Battleship Craft. That way the game would be more fun. -MLGLFW
• With the addition of more fleet modes this probably isn't going to become a thing but having a single inventory of store items so each ship can use the same things and you don't have to buy objects twice or as I'm currently finding, hundreds of times.

Jeong's Answer: All of these are good ideas. I'm especially interested in no. 2. (Feel free to add more above my answer)

Yes this was copy from Neutralartuen because I am terrible at editing Wikia. Please add to this freely!
