The Following Proposal Is For Season 4 or Season 5.
( In no way is this a leak or a proven update, this is just my thoughts on how the game could improve in the future.)
Overview:
The FloF: (Fleet of Fortune) (A Reflected Event Emulating Skeleton Fleets & Ghost Voyage Fleets)
The Man O' War: (An A.I. Exclusive Threat) (Flof Boss)
The Lord Guardian: (Skeleton Lord Exclusive To The Fleet of Fortune As Seen On The Lord Guardian Sails)
Reapers Hideout, Hideout: (An Evil Version Of The Pirate Lords' Hideout)
Prologue:
The "Fort of Fortune" was recently added which is a great addition for a new emersion
threat. This new event is undergoing criticism though for implementing more bullet sponges
and reused assets. I propose there be a new event, The Fleet of Fortune or FloF. A much anticipated
event as seen as we already have the Fort Counterpart. This Fleet wouldn't be like the current fleet we
see today, although similar. The fleet would comprise three sections. These sections would be rings
as seen in the "Ghost Fleet Voyages" & "Flameheart" Events.
The most outer ring would be the home of 8 sloops, that each respawn 3 times to act as waves,
this being a total of 24 sloops. The 2nd most inner ring or the ring that follows the Sloop ring
would comprise 4 Galleons that each respawn 3 times for a total of 12 Galleons.
This new threat would add a new ship, The Man O' War an A.I exclusive threat twice the size of
the Galleon, a Powerful Warship Fortress although slow.
This Man O' War would be 5 decks tall with a large Captain's Quarters For the optional Event Boss The Lord Guardian.
This new event would give the players a choice between two high end loot items that'll be counted toward Commendations
for exclusive Titles and Cosmetics. The Box of Wondrous Secrets
(Reapers Reputation and 250 doubloons which is the equivalent of 50,000 gold, or secondly
The Lord Guardian's Skull Worth 75,000-100,000 gold. Why 75,000-100,000 gold you ask?
This event is very rare and the boss encounter is optional, however in order to execute this order
you'll need to abandon your ship to insure that you defeat The Lord Guardian as quickly as possible.
Everyone in the world will be coming after this event, this event could easily be worth millions.
The skull should be worth 75,000-100,000 because of its rarity, and what you have to do in order to
obtain it. This would also be an incentive for players to steal this skull. We've seen hundreds of Athena Steals
even after those players have obtained "Legendary Thief".
I propose that if you sink the Man O' War that you won't receive the skull as he has sunk with the
ship allowing him to live another day, however this should increase the chance of spawning the Box of Wondrous Secrets in its stead.
Also I propose that if you choose to attack and kill The Lord Guardian for his skull that
the Man O' War retreats under the waves for their captain is slain!
Pros: This forces PvP, who ever shows up is expecting a fight, even if they're allied with one another.
Players who wish to be left alone will know this server will be safe because the other ships will be occupied with the fleet
and likely pass them over for the new event and rewards.
Cons: An event like this could be very difficult, high risk high rewards however this event may be too difficult
For newer players, the amount of defending sloops and galleons should be changed in order to balance this event.

This Ship will be protected with a large array of skeletons. Gold, Shadow, Plant, Ancient, Normal skeletons, excluding the scoreced skeletons
as this should be exclusive to the ashen lords. Each floor will be protected by a random assortment of the skeletons above, with the occasional
skeleton captain which can take on the form of each type of skeleton. The Captain’s Quarters has been hollowed out and reflects that of a Fort
within this large room, you'll find The Lord Guardian, The King of Skeleton Lords this fight is optional for certain commendations, however
if you choose the first route and sink the Man O' War for the loot, The Lord Guardian will go down with the ship. If however you choose to face this
new ancient foe, apon defeat the Man O' War will groan signifying its retreat, so grab the skull and anything else before it retreats beneath the
waves for their captain has been slain!
Added Mechanics: Different Skeleton crews will be present on the same vessel, Different types of skeletons will be present.
Once The Lord Guardian is defeated, the Man O' War will retreat signifying that their captain is dead.
Loot: The loot found on this ship (if the Lord Guardian is ignored) should be high end athena loot, Box of Wondrous Secrets and an assortment
of random high end loot.
The loot found in the water if you defeat The Lord Guardian before it sinks should be limited to The Lord Guardian's Skull, however
The Box of Wondrous Secrets' spawn chance should be lowered significantly
