Armor in Dead Sails

While I appreciate the simplicity of Dead Sails, a bit more variety in armor would be welcome. Currently, the game offers only two types of armor, but they're essential for survival:

**Name****Where to get it****Info**
*Chestplate*Available for 75 Dabloons at the Shop StoreReduces damage from enemies, but won't save you from instant death.
*Helmet*Costs 75 Dabloons at the Shop StoreDecreases overall damage taken; when paired with the chestplate, it's very effective.

Boats in Dead Sails are not just for travel; they serve as mobile inventory spaces. They're perfect for teams to transport loot back and forth, selling it for profit. While they don't vary in speed or size, their aesthetics are distinctive:
