The more posts I read about players being unhappy with the fact that their ship was ambushed at an outpost has lead me to reading the same type of comment over and over... "just look for a floating mermaid" ... for players who want the thrill of raiding other players this seems like something that could kill a fun portion of the game... players are just going to learn that if a mermaid is present, it's safer to just leave. Basically what I am getting at is maybe instead of a visual indicator to other players, the game just tells the stranded ambushing player(s) to hold a button to spawn back on their ship when they are ready.
This would keep the fun/thrill value for players like my crew who (at times, not always) like to maybe get some revenge or just enjoy the fighting/raiding aspect of the game.
I'm sure people will fight me on this because they've lost some loot but first of all "Sea of THIEVES" and secondly we've lost loot as well. I haven't lost much yet but when we did get attacked we plotted revenge and it paid off... just trying to see what people think about the mermaid being removed from the waters all together. @Rare-Employee
