Shanghai

A shanghi is a point given to a crew when a new account buys a subscription or doubloons for the first time. The total number of shanghi points and number of points available is visable by the captain and senior officers of the crew.

Renaming Ships
Shanghi points may be used by a crew to rename ships or the crew itself.
 * 2 for a sloop rename
 * 3 for a cutter rename
 * 5 for a merchant brig or a war brig rename
 * 7 for galleon rename
 * 8 for a war frigate rename
 * 10 for a grand frigate rename

The standard nameing scheme for a ship is 'adjective + fish name'. Renaming only the adjective or fish part of the name is half price, rounded up.
