I had cleared a ashen skeleton fort by myself while using a sloop. I took just the ashen chest and key along with one stronghold skull. With only this loot, I was attacked by a kraken, megalodon, and a skeleton ship all at once while I was almost to the outpost I was heading to. I barely made it to the nearby outpost to sell my items. The skeleton ship kept attacking my ship while anchored at the outpost...Not just near the outpost, but almost beached on the sand. Bosses should not be able to spawn on top of each other, especially when spawning against a one manned sloop. The skeleton ship also should have stopped attacking the moment I crossed into the outpost waters. I hope this gets changed. Thanks.

Soloing is meant to be the hard mode of the game. You're on an undermanned ship and have to do everything yourself. It's a team game, after all. That said, the events should attack each other more. Megalodons and skeleton ships already do, but krakens do not interact with either of them. And as for outposts, they are not safe zones. Skeleton ships will attack you at any island if they wish to, by circling it and shooting you when they have an angle. Getting enough distance between you and the skeleton ship will cause it to give up.
The kraken will spawn if there is no event cloud up. Since you just finished a fort the spawn conditions for the kraken were clear. Should've waited until another fort popped up. Also, the kraken, meg and skeleton ships are soooo easy on a Sloop. Sloop is literally the easiest of all the ships when vsing the PvE elements.

Say hi to RNG for me! 😅@UltmateRagnarok and @mferr11 are both correct, @Skitch94. Just take solace in the fact that this won't happen every single time... 😉
I myself can easily take on 2 at a time, provided I can stay on board my boat. It's getting separated from it that usually causes me to lose. Don't let that happen and you should do fine.
I'm a legend that has been hunting skelle ships for a bit trying to get the legend cannon. I fight the skelle armada typically but will initiate random pve encounters if they are near me. For a while I did a minimum of one armada a day up to three a day depending on the server.
Like...CLOCKWORK..
Armada goes down....Kraken hits me. Most of the time I can at least get the loot out of the water but not always...
(Kraken spawns with no cloud up..or right at the end of the event either way when the cloud goes down..I'm in open water so I'm the perfect target)During kraken fight...3 out of 5 times...SKELLE SHIP comes to help the kraken! I end up fending both off at the same time.
(Seems like skelle ship is also tied to forts somehow. I've identified a lot of spawns when a skull fort pops and confirmed EVERYONE gets attacked but am not 100% on specifics)And of course all the fighting...3 out of 5 times I get megged too! Either with the spawn of the skelle ship or after the defeat of whatever I'm fighting.
A typical run to the turn in for me involves usually 2 of the 3 lol most likely together but sometimes separate lol
I dont mind the extra fuss cuz it means more loot lol but during a pvp fight or if your low on supplies its infuriating lol
Dont forget your not alone though! How many times did you run with the fort loot and the team chasing you got krakened ? Everyone on the server is getting hit with the skelle ship too! And the meg..more chances for the ghost? Lol
