So my buddy and I are at a skull fort on a sloop, and we finish 6 or so waves when a galleon rolls up. After a bit of a battle we sink them, they come back battle and sink us. We go back and start fighting when a new PL galleon rolls up. We agree to team up with the new PL galleon and sink the other ship, but in the process lose our sloop. My buddy then needs to leave so I'm solo slooping it back to the fort.
I arrive and find the PL galleon just about to open the door and we're all friendly. So they open the door and we start getting the loot out. When I run back to my ship, I notice that my ship is sailing off into the distance. The PL crew apologizes, saying one of their friends is a jerk and he stole my ship, but that I can hop on their ship and they'll take me back to an outpost. By this point my sloop had been wrecked and sunk, so I jumped on their ship.
So we load up the treasure and off we go. We approach the outpost and I get on the wheel to start guiding us in because no one was steering. Next thing I know I'm being executed by these guys with pistols and blunderbuss as they stand behind me.
Cool beans man, I guess that's what I get for trusting anyone. Back to just attacking every ship we come across no matter how friendly they are. I understand the game is Sea of Thieves, but sometimes it feels like Sea of *****.
