I feel like there should be a setting where alliances should be able to spawn on other player ships in alliance. Or have a bigger crew for each ship. Example: Sloops have 3 players 1 on Helm and 2 on cannons, Brigs have 5 players 1 on helm 4 on cannons and galleons could have at least 12 since it’s a bigger ship to handle.
Amount of members on Galleon
@projectcorpsyt as always...new community member comes up with "new ideas", which were talked about to death since launch, so over 5 1/2 years...
To your info, how would you like to be on a solo sloop and another sloop comes towards you with 3 peope on? A duo is managable, but not a 3 man sloop...or a 5 man galleon? This would break balance. So no, thank youI could see a system come in the future where each guild would have one of the Sea Fortresses assigned to them, and possibly have the ability for your guild to have 2 ships on a server. (There would have to be certain things stopped when this happens: like Hourglass wouldn't be available)
But for balance and server stability: The number of crew slots on a ship is probably not going to change, but if you are in an alliance those people can be on your ship, just will not be able to respawn on your ship if they take a trip to the Ferry.

This thought might be expandable...like a seperate server, a seperate mode, where 2 crews get a seafort as a spawn-point, so 3 seafort crews...something like that, maybe expandable players, when there are just 3 ships altogether...enemy fort gives extra loot or value...still in adventure, so you have the same thread, might be a bit too much PvP maybe...

Worst idea posted on the forum imo. This is lunacy.

@schwammlgott it was just a thought of mine again there’s no need to be so stood up about it. Chill
I think it’s more about throwing an idea out there that doesn’t make any sense and expecting the community to understand. They don’t need to chill. You need to play and understand the game more.
@projectcorpsyt
So, the way things are currently is, the amount of players on each ship is increased by 1. If there are 2 players on a sloop, and a brig comes over to attack, the sloop will have just 1 more person to kill, since it's 2 vs. 3. Same is true for a brig vs. galleon, 3 vs. 4. On top of that, each ship has their strengths and weaknesses.
Now you're suggesting that a sloop of 3, will now have to face 2 additional opponents of a 3 vs. 5, and I especially feel bad for a brig of 5, facing 12 players on a galleon (just 7 more opponents)!!
I'd imagine 12 players on a galleon would be: impossible to board and fight, impossible to sink, many on that crew would be incredibly bored as cooking, bilging, angling sails, helming, and cannoning spots would be filled.
Sounds extremely unbalanced to me. If that were the case today, galleons would be the only ship around LOL.
It's just an idea no need to put the guy on blast for suggesting it.
The first time played sot based on my experience with the sloop and saw the galleon i imagined, wow 4 canons on each side does this mean a minimum of 8 players can join? but no to my surprise it was only 4 and made no sense as a ship that big in reality 4 people can't manage it. Of course this is a game and balance along with limitations to servers, etc. do not allow this but does not mean it has to stay this way forever.
There could be modes for this or there could be a SOT 2. The point is it's just an idea that makes sense at some point or another.
After all an alliance is a form of this already as i ve seen 2 or 3 ship crews jump on one ship just to attack one target be it players or missions.
So if it wasn't for developers that think out of the box, changes would never be made.
And it doesn't matter if it doesn't work right now otherwise we would have the same game forever, without change for the few die hard fans that always refuse change.@eva1977 He’s asking to change the entire setup. I think everyone has the right to tell him how awful of an idea this is.
@salty-sea-jr So the setup can change just like anything in game can change. I do not see it as an "awful" idea since it's already in game in some form as i mentioned.

It’s an awful idea…..
@eva1977 “Sloops have 3 players 1 on Helm and 2 on cannons, Brigs have 5 players 1 on helm 4 on cannons and galleons could have at least 12 since it’s a bigger ship to handle.”
If you think this in any form is a good idea I want whatever grog you’re drinking.

@salty-sea-jr for you, not all.
Read the responses lol no one is down 😂
@eva1977 I’m gonna drop this before the mods get mad but this idea sounds like fish isn’t the only thing they are cooking in Sea. 😁
@salty-sea-jr I used to play with 3 galleon crews we all wished there was a way we could join the same session and the same ship but this was not possible except for starting the game up loading together and hoping 2 or 3 of us would spawn on the same server and then we would invite our other friends. Point is this is not a horrible idea and suuure the 4 different players saying no here represent the entire player base.
@eva1977 said in Amount of members on Galleon:
@salty-sea-jr I don't have a passion for terrible ideas just not narrow minded like others.
This idea would work perfectly in Solo servers with the upcoming update, but of course it takes a special type of obtuse perspective to not see that.No it would not and works directly against what Rare intended with the Safer Seas. It is not intended to be a farming mode which loading up a ship like that would do, almost eliminating the safeguards that Rare put in place to protect it.
But as you said, it takes a special type of obtuse perspective not to see that which you have certainly demonstrated.
@salty-sea-jr i know the game well and i know what i am talking about i have my perspective you have yours.
