Where Are NPCs "Pirates Ships" enemies to fight ?

@dcb-510 I believe devs have stated that NPC ships are discouraged because it takes away from the whole idea of fearing the vessels of always being player ships. Personally? I'd like AI vessels because it makes the journey harder, but more rewarding and gives me something to do with the 100+ cannon balls I always have.

Please PVE with pirate AI ships. We would so much like to have a PVE game where we are looking forward undisturbed. And would like to fight against AI pirate ships. That would be a dream!!

Thank you!

@marineoffizier you're asking for a different game.

I save this discussion with them

@marineoffizier you're asking for a different game.

@corrupt-fellow there are skeletons at islands and shop NPCs at outposts. This game is not built to have AI controlled ships. They'd have no pathfinding scripts or any of that.

@corrupt-fellow why? What would that add to the game? So you say you want a WoW style quest giver at an island that says "Oh brave hero please kill 7 skeletons"? Uhhh.. we're not brave heroes. We're pirates.

@marineoffizier so assassins creed, black flag? That's literally what you're asking for.

The only npc ship id really like to see is a ghost ship of sorts.

It's one thing to be on the ferry of the damned, it's another to deal with an actual ghost ship in the living sea.

In the end I just wanna kill sh#* !
I'm tired of people up & quiting during the voyage missions ...

I think that AI ships are a must have because we need more action and adventure. Player ships are hard and fun, but most are smart enough not to challenge others, so a forced fight would be a change, sort of like a Kraken. There are also not as many player ships out there to fight in the first place.
