Don't know if the Devs will read this, or if they read my other thing or if they read anything here, but i have a big suggestion.
Give players more health, maybe 50% more when on their own ship. That way people don't board so much. The only times I've lost my ship is from people ramming Me and jumping on my ship. We've got one, maybe two people jumping, dropping our anchor and killing us while we are panicking and trying to not let our ship sink, then they just spawn camp us. The only choice we have is to scuttle the ship.
I'm not saying remove boarding or anything, but make ship combat (cannons) more enticing. Make it if you board the enemy ship, you are at a disadvantage because they have more health than you, so you gotta be smart. You can just ram their ship and board them and spawn camp them
