Ship Crewmember Loyalty

• All Ship Crewmembers have a Loyalty Level ranging from 0-10

Loyalty and Pirate Booty

• When a Crewmember reaches enough Loyalty Experience, they can be upgraded to the next Loyalty Level within the "Info" page for the Crewmember
• In order to upgrade a Crewmember's Loyalty Level, the player will have to spend a number of Pirate Booty (from their backpack)
• The amount of Pirate Booty required to upgrade a Crewmember increases with each Loyalty Level
• Players can upgrade a Ship Crewmember’s Loyalty Level while at sea and it will immediately update the displayed Ship’s Bonuses. The remaining upgraded stats (wrestling, HP) will not be implemented until docking and therefore the next launch.
• A Crewmember's Loyalty Level is visually depicted by a number of Rum Bottles (with no bottles shown for Level 0)
