I got reapers emissary flag and my ship got sunked. When I returned there was no flag but in reapers hideout there was one ship and when I wanted to get another flag, another ship appeared. Can someone tell me what does that mean and what happened?
I'm new to the game and I need help with emissary flags
I'll just give you a rundown cause I'm not entirely sure what you mean
You purchase the flag 1 time and only 1 time. The 20k is for unlimited use
Each faction has one
Then you raise the flag as you did
if you survive the server you sell items to that faction for a bonus based on the grade you leveled it to (level 5 max)if you sink you lose the flag and the bonus but you can re-raise it again for free at the table that represents the faction
You can raise and lower your flag at any time at the table of your faction as long as your ship is close enough
Reapers emissary is a high risk high reward faction. You are marked on the map for all to see and you make more gold/doubloons for everything you sell at reaper's hideout (based on your level of flag)
As far as your scenario goes you just got attacked by other ships either because they were tracking you on the map or just a random opportunity for them to fight another ship
When you join a new server you can still raise another flag and play again at no charge.
This may be confusing for a while but you'll get the hang of it and if you need more info let me know

Rare even talked about how many new players found this mechanic confusing- they've since renamed the item you initially purchase "Emissary License" (as opposed to "Emissary flag") to try and reduce the confusion.
@zombieloverigor to add to what wolfman mentioned:
After you raise your emissary flag, your emissary grade will increase as you do things that your faction likes. For example, if you have a gold hoarder emissary, your grade will increase when you solve riddles, dig up treasure, hold gold hoarder items, place gold hoarder items on your ship, etc.
As your grade increases, it will add a multiplier to all the loot you turn in to that company (but remember: if you sink or leave the server, you lose your emissary grade).
Level 1 = no change
Level 2 = + 33%
Level 3 = + 66%
Level 4 = +100%
Level 5 = +150%When you're finished for the day and are about to log out, don't forget to vote to lower your emissary flag at the emissary table; you'll get an additional gold/rep payment for lowering your flag (rather than sinking)
