So the new reaper voyage is made to encurage PVP and other players to steal the loot - But it's not made for it. If you kill/sink the one doing the voyage before they get the skull, you can't access it. The sarcophagus can't be opened by rival crews so you can't steal the skull until the voyage is finished. This makes it very unfair for the one trying to steal it because you have to wait for the enamy to get the skull first - and most of the time they just run and sell the skull before you can do anything. pls fix this. I like the new PVP focused voyage, but right now it is not designed for PVP, which is really disappointing.
Why can't we steal the new Skull of the Banished?

Yeah wait until it’s been removed. Then! You are free to steal it.
and most of the time they just run and sell the skull before you can do anything. pls fix this.
They have to sell at Reapers Hideout I believe. So them "Running" is very limited as you also can see it on the Map. "before you can do anything" makes it sound like you the stealing crew are at a disadvantage. :/
Nothing to Fix. Wait at the Reapers, Wait by the ship, wait in the shadows...

I’m 14/15 for the skull stealing commendation. There is no issue with waiting to steal the skull until after the voyage completion. You just have to play smart and try to stay between the skull and reapers. Once the green tornado appears you have time to position yourself how you see fit.
Honestly, I don't understand the support for this system for journeys that are supposed to involve PVP, it was the same with the Veil journey until they fixed it (from what I remember the possibility of obtaining loot continues even with the mission canceled.)
In this case the problem is bigger than with the veil, as you can be seen on the map, leaving you with very few options for approach.

I’m pretty sure that if the veil is canceled the loot is as well. The veil needs to be finished otherwise the loot (or remaining loot?) goes away. With that said, I haven’t done or started the skull of banished voyage, but I have completed the steal them commendation as of tonight (rival something or other?). I don’t think they’re very comparable in this regard. For one, the voyage seems to be completed quickly based on the time the skull voyage is visible on the map versus the time the veil voyage is visible on the map; also, the skull can only be sold at reapers. This is very much a turn-in that can be fought over consistently, and it’s fun. If one wants to get the commendations related to stealing the skulls, they can dive until they find a reaper (or “fake reaper”) in one of the usual spots and see what happens.
It’s actually a really fun pvp related commendation and it’s bittersweet that I’ve finished it. Good luck out there.
@capt-greldik I've also completed it, but it's a very poorly designed voyage, most of the skulls I sold weren't fought for in battle, because even hopping servers I didn't find anyone doing it or they simply canceled the mission/ran infinitely. A quest that is supposed to attract PVP and competition simply cannot have PVP until the quest is completed, hiding in the Hideout to get the skull at the last minute doesn't seem to me to be the kind of "PVP" they were planning to attract with the voyage.
The veil worked this way when it came out, but from what I remember the last few times I was able to get the loot even if they canceled the mission or left the game. (It was a while ago so I can't say for sure).
