Npc skeleton pirate armada's/ships.

  • My personal idea for Sea of Thieves, which I feel the community would love is to take on NPC skeleton pirates in galleons or Man of War's, and this would be a random event much like the Kraken where while sailing, the skeleton armada's bells could be heard nice and loud, signaling that the crew is being attacked by the skeleton pirates, the challenge mixed with the rush of the battle would certainly make players scurry to battle stations once they hear the deadly bells of the dead armada, and I had a rather nice idea as to how the ships would look, the hull would be composed of dead sea monster bones, rib cages spiking up the sides of the ship and there would be a large reward, depending on the size of the armada ranging from a couple sloops, to maybe a galleon or the very rare occasion, two galleons, and the front figurehead would be a skeleton skull which green fog pouring out the front, spreading green fog in a large area covering the skies even, and the hard fought battle, once ended, unlocks the loot from their brig so they may grab it. I would really hope that you take my idea into consideration and hopefully add it into the game, I just hope you think my idea is good enough to be added, and perhaps the look of the ship varies on the sorts of skeletons, if it's phantom skeletons, it would look more phantom like, if it was gold it would have more of a metal look to it and lastly, for the plantlike skeletons it would have a more natural wildlife sort of sight to behold.

  • Well we can speculate that something like this is coming with the 'Cursed Sails' update, but that is still a few months off.

    If not, the devs were pretty adamant about not adding NPC ships and wanting all players to know that what they see is a human ship.

  • @nightmare247365 Well even if so, I would still find it to be an interesting encounter, sorta like how you'd encounter a Kraken. Except a little more hectic.

  • No thanks.

  • @undrusangelspar I don't disagree. I wanted a Giant Ghost Ship. Something like 10-20 Cannons on each side with 4-5 levels. Sloops would not have the fire power to take it down, but Galleons are too slow to move in and board it requires teams to work together more than fortresses.

    The way the ship works is it seeks out players on the map, targeting large galleons first. It is very slow moving, but extremely powerful. The ghosts would overwhelm any one ship. This would show up every 5-6 hours. I have some very detailed ideas which I have mentioned before.

  • Similar to a Kraken event:

    The water tuns blood red and the music changes as an eerie glow starts to appear below the water....and then:
