I have not played the game yet at all, super excited to play. I've been watching gameplay on it as well.
What happens when you die, and your ship sinks!?
When you die, you end up on the Ferry of the Damned, a ghost ship so to speak. After a short time waiting, a door on this ship opens and you have to go through it. You'll be among the living again. If your ship sunk, you'll get greeted by a mermaid who bring you back to your ship docked at an island, all repaired and shiny again. Otherwise, if your ship hasn't sunken yet, you simply respawn on your ship

@star-inferno22 what happens when your ship sinks and then you die??? I lost everything. 2 hours of game play went down the drain. This is not ok. People can just come and destroy your ship and then kill you and you lose all of your progress. I literally am rethinking this entire game if it is going to seriously waste my time and progression.
