nope I like the sloop sometimes to have two people on it

The sloop is too boring for two people...but ok, some like it duo on that ship...

@galactic-geek . I understand the need to keep things more intimate between crewmembers and their gameplay with having fewer crew sizes. I believe the devs are trying to stay away from making SoT into an MMO, in the classical sense. I wouldn't want that for the game either.

But the matter of a lot of complaints among the forums I've been seeing is that people have more than just 4 friends that want to join them in their game. Which I think can be helped with being able to join a server in an already established fleet. Not too high a number at least. But then the map would be too small for that amount of ships on one server. That's why a larger ship thats harder to operate, slower than the others but more powerful, could be a great idea for allowing players to have more friends with them.

Having customizable interiors is just the same as the exterior options we already have. But it feels more personal to the crew. Maybe leave the cannons then, that's okay. Although I'd like it because changing the layout of the ship, in a minimal sense, can make scouting the ship from afar more about intel and not just about checking for kegs.

• Add one extra crewman slot to each ship size, as playing the game and doing stuff on the ship always makes you feel like you're one pirate short of a fully effective team.

You can very much still be an effective team, you just have to learn the layout of your ship, the tasks of each crew member and the members of your crew. Extra players were tested long ago, and you would not believe how OP it gets. Especially the galleon, that one can fire all cannons on a broadside and still have crew left to board or repair.

• Add the ability for friends to join your server without joining your crew, so alliance fleets are easier to arrange.

If you want to do that, you've got to work for it. Find someone else and have them leave while your friends join their crew, or wait for a crew to log off and join just as they leave to take their slot in the server, or anything else like that. People take over entire servers like this, you can do it with one ship.

• Add the ability to buy crates of cannon balls and other supplies from the shipmaster at the docks of outposts.

This favors the older, richer players over the newer, poorer ones. A crew with a few hundred gold apiece can't restock from money alone every time they're sunk, but a crew with several million apiece can do it, even after losing to another crew, and come right back. Same reason you can't buy things like cannon or sail upgrades, talk to the shipwright on Dagger Tooth about it. The Pirate Lord wishes for battles to be won on skill, not time ground.

• Add a new feature in the future where pirates/alliances can claim territory over a fort so they can have pirate coves? So players feel more impactful on their surroundings and maybe also have basic outpost options for annexed forts. Defending your ship while at an outpost is awkward but with a fort, you can have cannons all around to protect your ship while dropping off loot.

The strongholds in the game are the property of the skeletons, and one would realistically activate regardless of pirates on it or not given enough time. You can already take them over, get a few Reaper's chests and a lot of treasure and put it all there, then wait.

• Change the Grappling hooks to one in the front that shoots a 270deg facing straight, then one on the top facing backwards.

I'm going to leave this answer at: They are where they are for a reason. Other locations have been tested and removed.

• I know this is probably a far cry but being able to maybe change the layout of your ship or change the position of the cannons would be great as customization of ones ship to suit their style would be awesome. Like having the ability to upgrade or buy a secure door for where you spawn in your ship would be great so it prevents players from spawn killing you if you live in a place with terrible internet connection. It's a painful experience.

No. If everyone on the crew spawned in a single, secure spot, that's worse of a bottleneck than it already is for effective spawn-killing. And having to buy it is worse. Aside, spawn-killing isn't happening because of internet connection, it's a design flaw with the game. As for upgrading/changing locations of cannons and the like, they've been tested in different places before and placed where they are for a reason, similarly to the harpoons.
