<![CDATA[Megalodon and Skeleton Ship pops]]>

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but sometimes when I or another crew member stops the ship to kill the Megalodon, the Skeleton Ship pops up, and you have to shoot both the Megalodon and the Skeleton Ship, making it impossible to play, especially when you're alone.

And it's pretty a rare that you got a skelly ship & Megalodon.

No it isn't, on average i get that combo at least once per session.

Megalodon , pve ships & kraken are only a timer when you join a session.

And it's pretty a rare that you got a skelly ship & Megalodon.

But you could have a Kraken + Megalodon and Skelly ship and it's even rarest than Meg + Pve ship on the same time

and you have to shoot both the Megalodon and the Skeleton Ship, making it impossible to play, especially when you're alone.

  1. You don't have to shoot both. Often the AI from the skeleton will attack the Meg, which in turn makes the Meg attack them.
  2. Not impossible to play, challenging, yes. But never impossible. (especially solo)
    Kind of need these challenging moments to happen. The game gets dull when it doesn't.

Sure, it maybe a bug...they keep nerfing, nerfing, nerfing them, then backtracking because they dont spawn at all.
Choose your main target, which at this point is the skeleton ship, and circle it. Attack it with every thing you have. Try to force it to hit the Meg.

All else fails, Run. Meg will give up the chase if you get close to an island. Leaving the skeleton ship.
