Hi, I'm new to these forums so I'm unsure if this where I post, but I do have a question.
Does anybody find skeleton galleons currently easy to take down? Maybe it's just me when I'm sailing with my buddy on a sloop but I remember those things being tough to take down and require more cannonballs to sink. Curious if it's been the glitchy and laggy of the game currently, or it's the scaling to the crew sizes.
I'm hoping they address the meg and skelly ship issues in the somewhat near future.
I'd rather behavior be bugged than spawning though.
It's unfortunate for the design of the game but it's far worse when skelly ships and/or megs are spawn bugged.
At least they are around. Having played through all the different bugs with megs/skelly ships, these aren't good but they've been worse.

Seems to me they spawn more in Safer Seas. I've gotten three in one hour of sailing.
emergent spawns are largely focused on the individual timers (other than kraken) so I doubt high seas and safer seas are much different for megs or skelly ships.
Megs are far more predictable than skelly ships typically but in season 11 it's not super unusual to see 2 or 3 individual skelly spawns in an hour or so, but it varies.
My guess would be that they probably don't have 2 entirely different systems set up for spawn rates.
Some see it as "I'm alone in safer seas so I am going to get attacked more without the other ships taking spawns" but that's not how emergent spawning is set up. It's pretty timer based for the individual ship/player.
That doesn't mean it works perfectly and as intended all the time but that's the design.
The exception to that is the kraken. Kraken will still be hours apart but with one ship the chance will go up significantly for 1 encounter, depending on time played.
