So I actually got sunk yesterday in SOT by another galleon with 1.5 hours of skulls on board. It actually felt good to get sunk, since it so rarely happens!
I had one very experienced player, and two mediocre players in the crew.. On the way to our next OOS mission we noticed a galleon parked, shooting their cannons at the island so we assumed they had loot on board and decided to go gank it. On approach once we got approximately 4 minutes away the f!@#$%^ krakken snatched us. The galleon in the distance still had its sails up and seemed to still be interested in their quest.
I gave the order to disperse the creature using pistols and snipers to save our cannonballs. (In retrospect this was a foolish mistake, considering the galleon proximity) The galleon we were going to gank must have noticed we were in a fight with the Krakken and seized the opportunity to attack us. Long story short, the galleon was an experienced one with a couple of legends on board who were decent pvpers.. In combination with the Krakken grabbing our crewmembers (and one noobish player on repairs who decided repairing mid-deck was a priority in the middle of all this) the battle quickly resulted in a loss.
All in good fun!
The one experienced player raging on the guy who was on repairs in the end was pretty funny to listen to... It went something like:
Good player: "dude, there were like no holes at all what were you doing"
noob: "no man, they were like SIX holes, I was busy trying to repair them so we did not sink"
Good player: "$%^E^#^#$^#^%"
Me: yeah man, mid-deck holes are not a priority in the middle of PVP lol"
Noob: <sad-panda quit>
