<![CDATA[Crew Size for New & Existing Ships]]>

A while back after seeing the video of what’s to come in 2026 for the Sea of Thieves, I was hyped about it & I wondered what they would be bringing with new ship types and new areas.
If they are going to bring new ship types, there’s gotta be lore Backing it up & if they decide to increase the crew sizes for the existing ships, they gotta have something in the back that up as well.
I’m all for the new ship types and new lands that’s to come later on, hopefully before I retire as Ramsey did but with a bang & the remembrance of my adventures on the Sea of Thieves.
Sincerely,
A Veteran Sailor of Year 2 🏴‍☠️.

Well, you never know what can pop over the horizon, I mean, we are still supporting Xbox one consoles out there somewhere.
That is one of the reasons why we haven’t had new major updates.

No it's not. This has been stated by the developers several times.

Plus, it’ll be hard to upgrade the servers to hold eight ships with six being the limit till they have more time to create, work, test & experiment with eight ship servers & go from there

@burnbacon
I’m keen to see the connection they’ll bring when they arrive & plus it brings more to the sandbox

If they are going to bring new ship types, there’s gotta be lore Backing it up

Most likely the Union will have a connection.

if they decide to increase the crew sizes for the existing ships, they gotta have something in the back that up as well.

Balanced across all ships.

I doubt the game is going to be able to support larger crew sizes when they already limit the number of galleons that can be in a server for performance reasons.
