Its inevitable that Captain Flameheart will grow in strength and power. Eventually he may try and rejoin the land of the living.
When he does he is going to want to reclaim the sea of thieves as his own and dethrone the pirate king.
Having sailed his astral ship against us in his ghost fleet, he likely will want to upgrade his current ship to make his return to the grave a lot harder. This ship will form a new NPC boss ship.
Introducing Captain Flameheart reborn.
He will sail a massive Man’0’war, with an army of undead minions onboard.
The ship serves not only as a new enemy but also a dungeon...
The ship will be hard to defeat, several decks and levels and several cannons and crew. Defeating the ship in combat does not sink it. It simply disables it where it cant move or fire. A musical note will queue this.
Once this happens, the dungeon phase commences.
4 Decks below the main deck lies a final room with the Captain in there. You must pull up alongside and board it. Fight to the bottom level where the captain waits, Each deck with obstacles, skellies and so forth.
Holding out in one of the ships levels, defeating a few waves at a time, will spawn a skelly that drops a key. The key unlocks the next level below. Work your way down to the level below, fighting waves and collecting more keys, finally reaching the bottom of the ship where a final boss battle ensues, as well as a horde of treasure.
When the captain is killed, the ship sinks and all the loot floats to the top. Think of it as a mobile skelly fort! Best escape before it sinks though or a trip to the ferry you will find yourself!
Occasionally Flameheart’s Man’0’war ship will be sailing in the server, other times he will be doing a normal ghost fleet event, biding his time to rejoin the living.
I think this would be awesome. A mobile skelly ship /Dungeon heavily reliant on teamwork and cooperation. Throw in a reapers mark on the ship in question and you have a fun and tense time ahead.
