User blog comment:Stillfly94/Ship Customization.... gonna happen?/@comment-1997676-20110728103546

The reason so many people claim that Disney are "taunting" us is probably because of the long promised Kraken update, which hasn't happened yet. My guess as to why, is because it's most likely going to be part of the second story chapter, which is bigger than any project they've had since release. Obviously it's still pretty ridiculous pushing it back this long (3 years?), but at least there's a plausible reason for it. Even though ship customization is a pretty complex feature, it's a standalone update. It was also on their "to do" list of requested updates (if I remember correctly), so my guess is they're going to be released in the near (in Disney terms) future. Hopefully.
