Hey, developers!
It would be fun to have your own outpost or fortress on some hidden island which can be reached only by player and his crew. First it will be empty, but player will have to upgrade it with not only gold, but planks, stone and etc, those resources can be obtained on other islands or events or bought from trading company but in limited quantity. Players will be able to build tavern, shops, farms etc and upgrade it. NPCs there can give special quests. This is not hard to implement and will give us players new purposes to return to the game.
Personal Player Outpost or Fortress
Honestly I think having your own hidden island as a gold sink would be awesome! Would also be a great place to sink materials at the end of the night (would need to duplicate like all other loot for each player in the crew but still awesome!)
With portals existing in the game I think a portal to lead to your own island would be awesome! That means no loot can be brought to your outpost either (no safe selling).
In addition I would not be opposed to your island being similar to an outpost where players can choose to spawn from it where there can be places to buy voyages, raise emmisary, buy cosmetics, loot barrels, buy mats, and so forth.
No this would not be in anyways an advantage since to leave you need to go through a portal so you would have no way of knowing any information of the server beforehand (how many emmisarries there are, what world event is up, where you are going to even be on the map)
The only advantage would be you can't get killed as a fresh spawn which honestly has happened to me like twice in my 900 hours of SoT and I was wasting time on the outpost more than anything.
