I'm aware that this is hardly an up-to-date suggestion, but I thought it would make these fights more enticing. I think each Skeleton Ship should spawn 1 full supply crate of any kind, and 1 gunpowder barrel.
I feel the supply crates should be spawned to encourage pirates to actually do the battle. My own crew, and I imagine many others, never feel like gathering the necessary supplies for one of these fights. It takes a half hour minimum, and is insanely boring. Were the supplies guaranteed at the fight, pirates would not be nearly as hesitant to sink the skeleton sailors . I also feel that the KIND of crate not being garunteed could force pirates to adopt new tactics, such as: 'Fire as much as you can, but you'd better not stop bailing!' 'If you're gonna board the skellies, you'll providing your own bananas!' It would also make scrambling for the sunken skeleton loot way more important, as I know many crews currently let Davy Jone's have it.
I feel the gunpowder barrel present on the boney behemoths would open up a wide range of tactical decisions to make. 'Should we shoot the ship as it spawns to get some easy water in?' 'Should we wait until we have someone onboard to stop repairs?' 'Should we risk killing our boarder by shooting while they're onboard?' 'Should I move the barrel somewhere safe so we can save it for later ships?' Etcetera.
I also think this might result in crews using the awesome Skeleton Ships to supply up, as opposed to sailing to empty forts for a good half hour, bored as can be. I do recognize that this change would make Skeleton Ships easier, but this could be easily adjusted for in the way of stronger cursed, more skeletons, more water room, etcetera.
Also, the dancing and sleeping ships suck.
