I don't think the two options I crossed out should exist for guild ships. In both cases the crew are not guild members and when a guild member signs on there may be no room on a guild ship for them. This would be especially bad if it was their own captained ship.
Crew Options for GUILD SHIPS
@lem0n-curry When a guild member wants to join they can't because non-guild members are filling up the crew.
Use a private ship for your private friends.
Possibly keep Closed Crew, but Open Crew should definitely not apply, that is just strangers taking up guild members slots.
Similarly setting sail for monkey island forces closed crew instead of guild crew. I have been setting sail for pirates life and now monkey island so i spawn closer to my boat and more importantly AWAKE like we used to in year 1 of sea of thieves. I hate waking up in the tavern passed out drunk on the table. Especially now with captaincy and even sloops having a bed let us wake up on our ship if we still have to login passed out. Just tedious when you server hop. Regardless of that not being the intended way to play the waking up passed out thing was an intentional change that added no benefit to the game in any way.
But yea I guess they wanted guilds to still be able to open crew to be able to recruit people? That's not how this community actually works though. Just adding more buttons needing to be pressed to actually get into the action. I don't think I've seen any game in more need of a UI overhaul than this. Even their attempt to clean up the reputation tab could have been done better. Why is Sea Dogs on the first page when it's legacy and can't be completed any more meanwhile athena is still on a second page.
Also every guild I have ever been in the Guild Leader is the Guild Owner... The next line under leader is Officer. So why did they decide to call offices Guild Leaders? Just to confuse people?

So, there are probably other ships to choose from for them

I'd think the other guild members would be happy with them gaining more rep for the guild, don't you ?

So if a guild of 9 has two full galleons, I woudn't be able to take out a guild ship ?
Agaian: Why ?
There is nothing wrong with playing with others just because you are running guild play, and if you want to sail solo the guild crew option could cause anyone to join up. I would say keep the options so people can play how ever they like with whoever they like.
I dont want others joining me randomly just cause we share guild, and if im playing solo it has no more effect on other guild members than if some one outside of guild joined me. Its nice having options for your own play style.
