The Game needs more options for different size groups to get more people playing online, if group sized is to be changed then their has to be some feature to help with communication. Look at history, pirates use pigeon post. I would fit perfectly in game, just like the many pirate of Caribbean scenes of reading a message from an other crew. To prevent grieving two crow must both except forming a line of communication. This would be by transporting the Crew A (black pigeon) on to the friendly Crew B boat and Crew B (white pigeon) transport theirs to Crew A boat. Then they can use the pigeon to type pre-made messages to communicate. Captains can customise their pigeon how ever they like.
To continue, here are some options I found on reddit, the ships states can be fix to make more balanced but do think it will bring more options to increase the number of players using the live service. AKA increasing the number of xbox live subscription.
