Based on my experience in the world of Sea of Thieves, it is my recommendation that we need a Solo Sloop Support Group (SSG).
Have you sailed a s solo sloop and experience other vessels chasing you for hours and unable to catch you, have you joined an alliance only to be killed and looted or just unable to complete any voyages because other vessels just harass you? To which I am certain many people can relate with and answer YES!
As for myself, I have been sailing the Sea of Thieves since the day it was launched and I find my self often sailing by myself. I do belong to a crew or fleet and it is vary rare to find an appropriate crew to sail with. I have tried sailing with random players, we all know how this goes. I do have friends to sail with, but this is always a timing thing.
My experience over this past week has been nothing short of frustrating, trying to do Order of Souls as solo player. I could say that I have accomplished nothing within game this past week.
My latest experience included starting an Order of Souls voyage on Lookout Point and I put me boots on the sand to start vanquishing them skellies. After the second wave, I see a sloop coming around Plunders Outpost and heading my direction. I quickly notice that they have an alliance flag flying. I board my ship and prepare to disembark and join there alliance. As soon as I join their alliance, they start to fire their cannons, not one hitting my ship. I quickly leave their alliance and set sail.
As they start to chase me, I decide to do a figure eight around some islands to test there skills and hopefully lose them. With no luck, they continued to follow and are trying to snipe me. I checked my scope and I noticed that it was two pirate legends.
Off in the distance I see that there was the cloud for skellie ships. So I figured I would run them into this zone and quickly exit to get red of these annoying pirates. Entering this zone went well for me, leaving with only two holes from the skellie ships. The ship chasing me did not do that well, but unfortunately they did not sink. But this proved to create great distance between our two vessels.
But yet they continued to follow. After running around a storm, them being attacked by Meg, running them back into the skellie ship zone for a second time, killing one of them with the sniper rifle and after all this they kept chasing my ship.
After great frustration and accomplishing nothing for an hour, I left the game.
This has been a typical experience for myself over the past week and I am sure I am not alone.
