So this is a reposted idea, I just wanted to add a suggestion to the whole mix.
People talk about joining multiple ships together for adventures, like a group of 20. Obviously there are a bunch of issues with this.
Maybe in the future having some super servers would support that kind of play - Something like 20-30 ships per server, then you can queue with a max of 2 other ships (of any size) as a fleet.
My two cents on the currently non functional suggestion.
@Joda1123 I think this is the reason they are not too concerned with the size of galleons or making ships larger than 4 person crews at this time. I think there will be a fleet option, but making the maps larger and creating a larger ship are almost going to be a requirement.
@joda1123 I wouldn't mind willfully joining that kind of server as a test of skill from time to time. Being a solo dog in a sea full of wolf packs would make the game incredibly hard and interesting in unique ways. Normal play should stay the same, anything involving fleet mechanics should be an alternate play option with alternate servers but stolen loot can still contribute to reputation progression. Kindof a dedicated PvP mode with normal play fitting the PvE role.
