Allow us to use our personal captained ships in Safer Seas

    I think that we should be allowed to use our personal captained ships in Safer Seas, but I don't think we should be allowed to earn any ship milestones or captaincy commendations in Safer Seas and those should be kept locked to High Seas.

    Just allowing us to use our captained ships in Safer Seas would allow players to customize our ships with the cosmetics we've unlocked in High Seas, purchase captained ship supplies from the shipwright (which is highly necessary for playing Sea Of Thieves), repair our ship at the shipwright, and sell our loot to the sovereign (which is nothing more than a convenient way of selling loot that isn't as difficult as carrying the loot to each of the NPCs)

    Obviously earning any ship milestones or captaincy commendations of any kind would be disabled in Safer Seas and would only be available in High Seas.

    This way we would be able to use our personal captained ships in Safer Seas without bringing any of the activities and rewards in Safer Seas more in line with the activities and rewards in High Seas.

    This also would have no affect on the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea Of Thieves as none of the milestones or commendations would be able to be earned in Safer Seas, only in High Seas.

    Overall I see no reason why players aren't allowed to use their personal captained ships in Safer Seas when it's clearly possible to allow players to use their personal captained ships in Safer Seas without bringing any of the activities and rewards in Safer Seas more in line with the Activities and Rewards in High Seas.

    So Rare, Please allow your players to use their personal captained ships in Safer Seas.

    and sell our loot to the sovereign

    No need to it’s a perk to sell quick and easy from threat on the sea. You have 0
    And this only reason people want captain ships.

    The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.

    Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.

    This is not only useful for new players but also families and players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly becomes available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and become a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount in 5 years and it can be fairly overwhelming.

    The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.
