Link to the reddit thread. But the TL;DR is that a Reaper galleon with tons of loot went to a couple islands, definitively never went to an outpost or the Reaper's hideout, and then disappeared off the map. I arrived at the scene 10 minutes after, probably not enough time for all of that loot to be moved onto another ship and for them to leave the area (I saw no other ships). We looked around both islands and saw nothing suspicious, EXCEPT the Reaper's grade 5 flag in the water at their last known location. We invited one of them to the xbox party and they said they server merged without us (we server merged ourselves maybe 15-20 minutes after this event).
I really want to know if they were lying and they pulled some insane stealth deception to row in all the stuff to the hideout (I called away my ambush campers whenever I saw the grade 5 flag), or if what they say is true. Is it really possible for a ship to server merge while there's still another ship on it? Historically this doesn't seem true, but Rare may be tinkering with this. If so, it really ruined our plans for revenge by setting up shop on the Hideout with kegs and such. On the other hand, even if they did merge, why would their grade 5 flag fall off like that?
