Idea: Co-op Escort Missions

    I was initially thinking this would be a Merchant mission, but maybe it could apply to any faction.

    The idea is that you'd need 2 boats. One would carry cargo. This cargo would be rendered on deck and cannot be moved. It would restrict access to that ship's cannons (but not stop access entirely - just make it difficult to get to them).
    The 2nd ship would be the escort.

    The mission is to get the cargo from point A to point B.
    Other crews on the server would be aware that this cargo is being moved (not sure how)

    If completed, both crews get credit. If the escort ship is sunk but the cargo arrives, both crews get credit.
    If the cargo ship is sunk in PvP - the sinking crew gets some kind of reward

    This sounds like it could be fun.

    The Arena could use some variety to gameplay, and something like this would be a nice way to do that. More gameplay options and challenges in addition to the chest delivery that it currently uses.

    Honestly you can already do this.

    Step 1) Form an Alliance with one or more other Ships.

    Step 2) One Ship starts a Merchant Cargo Run or picks up Commodities, the other(s) loads themselves up with as much Supplies as possible.

    Step 3) Undergo your deliveries, and should you Encounter other Ships out there the protector Ship(s) defend the Ship with the Loot.

    Step 4) Hand in Loot where you need to, the Alliance System in place awards both Crews. Optional: Pay the other Crews with some of the Loot so they get full turn in Value for a few of the items to better balance your final payouts.

    Tools not rules, and all that.

    While this might work in an AC Black Flag mission, in SOT will mean to restrict the role of a crew in favor of another.

    Alliances still work if you want to RPG this scenario.

    Oh, and if you want that extra layer of letting people know you're together and doing something, raise the Reapers Mark Flag (not the Emissary one, the regular one) and you're now all visible on the Map to everyone. Will either draw Pirates to you or help keep them away.
