Same server and fleets/alliances

Being as you have friends and you now can start fleets your friends should be able to join the same server you are in even if not on the same ship but to start with there ship and come join your fleet/alliance. Having to start a game and than quit and start and quit and start until you find your friends can take quite a bit of time and than you may not want to play anymore or everyone else is getting offline. Also when in a fleet/alliances your color should be the same as to avoid accidentally killing a fellow member of the alliance or a secondary color for friendlies especially for the upcoming arena. And the size of the server if its only 16 or 24 whichever one it is should be increased or your number of servers as I was told 7000 should dwindle way down to a more reasonable number if there are to many servers though I like playing alone with just the AI because I don't have to worry about the pirate code not being followed or enforced at all. Game just needs adjustments best thoughts: server selections, Join game option start your crew and go find your friends to alliance up, and same color for friendlies. Last thing your pirate code should be on your ships and when you start a game which should make you captian of the ship you should have to select or make your pirate code for your crew mates to follow with the ultimate mutany getting them kicked from the game for not doing what there supposed to do trolling or wasting time while everyone else is working that allows you to get another player in to make the money they will work for, outposts should be a safe haven or zone while your anchored there as well
