First of all I think, if they do decide to add pvp mode; is to make it free to play. The only way you would be able to get your rewards and change your pirates look is to buy, and play the base game. It will encourage them to play base Sea of Theives for sure. The base game could be advertised all over again for sales. "Become pirate legend, defeat Sea monsters of yer nightmare and claim ter reward!!" something like that jazz. I beleive it would pull a fortnite.
My Idea is to make all the ships visible on the map, much like how the alliances, and reapers mark work. Just think about how cool this would be. Obviosly there would be still open world pvp back on the base game.
Joust mode could be literally just that. A 1v1 map with maybe 7 - 8 islands, spawning the ships on opposite sides, with a big open centre for the 2 ships to fight. It could also literally be just an open ocean with 2 boats "Jousting". For quick battles.
"Conquerors" would be 2v2. On a much larger map, maybe 10-20 islands spread across. Spawned on opposite sides, they'd have to gather recources, again then fight later on.
I'd talk about a mode similar to br, but I would be turned to dust. But it doesnt involve ships diving into different locations. It would be just ships spawned on different posts, and would have to gather recources; that's different cannon balls, rowboats, maybe even snake traps, maybe new things like different types of cannons washed ashore that have their different attributes and disadvantages. But hey that's just a theory, a REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Also imagine the storm being the actual storm in the game doing damage to your boat. And one your ship sinks, everybody dies.
