Should not happen. Worst idea since the death tax, and thankfully Rare listened on that one.
4 player sloops would be unsinkable.
With a man on cannon, one on helm an' one on sail you would be able to take on any other ship without fear. Solo an' duo sloops would be trashed.
Galleons would be pointless as they be less maneuverable an' would struggle to keep broadsides on a sloop wit' a man on helm an' sail.
An' then ye still have a spare crewman to patch or try to board or repel invaders.
A solo or duo sloop can current lose a galleon if they be wanting to run, an' with a duo crew I've sank galleons by out maneuvering them an' keeping away from their long nines. Wit' a 4-man sloop, this no be possible.
It be a game breaker o' an idea an' I for one shall resist e'ery post asking when it is coming.
Nah say I!!! Nah!

If it really sucks, the people that wanted it will change thier minds after a week.
That's not really how overpowered gameplay gets treated by any community when it gets introduced.
@lev-owo it does. You just didn't get it. 😉

@gloog absolute power corrupts absolutely! lol :)

Blind opinion being blind
At least I took the time to outline why it would break the game. Better than your sorry excuse for a response.
Here's an idea, explain why what I said is blind. Go through my points and use your words and sell me on why it is a good idea. Maybe I'll be convinced by your argument and say 'ye know... ye be right after-all an' I be a changed man'. I'm not so stuck to my beliefs that I won't change them if convinced otherwise.
Somehow I doubt that you'll take up that gauntlet though.

Makes sense to me.
@awesomecoreusa because at the end of the day the only true reason for wanting a 4 man sloop is to be unstoppable to anything but another 4 man sloop.
@lev-owo give Rare a chance to figure out how to hand someone a banana first. Adding a 4 man sloop sounds like a climb to the top of Everest

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!
why does a galleon win a fight. because 1 person can board, one turns/sails the ship, one mans a cannon and one is there for repair.
on a sloop its so much easier so u would have more spare persons to f**k up the enemy... but because no one would on a galleon the game would become a sloopy mess... as if the current issues aren't enough.

"At least I took the time to outline why it would break the game."
You mean you regurgitated the same tired talking points we've all read and responded to thousands of times? :)
Here are 21 pages of every argument ever made in favor as well as against the 4 man sloop:

Knock yourself out! :)
@nebenkuh so because I happen to share the opinion of others I should not voice them?
I also notice ye yerself have offered no argument. Just a link to a thread I've already read an' I believe posted on but it's been a while.
Bravo sir. You wins the internet.
I also find it interesting that people in favour o' this seem to go into 'attack mode' on the forums very quickly. An' ye wonder why we don't want ye getting yer hands on 4 man sloops...
@awesomecoreusa
Please don't insinuate things I didn't say.
My arguments alone probably make up like 5 pages of that thread I linked. Literally everything you said has been adressed there, so I doubt you actually read it.
"I also find it interesting that people in favour o' this seem to go into 'attack mode' on the forums very quickly."
Probably because we're tired of arguing the same points over and over and over again, and when we finally get somewhere, the next guy comes along and starts the cycle anew with not a single original talking point. It's a waste of time to talk about this when there is a thread of 21 pages of the same.
@nebenkuh an' I be sick an tired of pointing out the same horrible flaws in this idea over and over. And yet I chose not to attack people on the forums. Ye have been far from aggressive, I'm not trying to pick a fight. But the originator of this thread was less than polite when his opinion was questioned.
I will, howe'er, admit that we have reached an impasse. Please feel free to post a reply an' then I will agree to let this die.
@awesomecoreusa
Sorry if I made you feel attacked, I didn't mean to do that.
This just has been discussed to death and there really are a lot of answers to your arguments in that other thread. But it's completely true that it is a circular argument that can not be solved. So the best outcome for everyone is to agree to just let Rare do their thing, since all concerns and hopes about the issue have been voiced. :)

Just let us test it out for a short while. If it's fine. Keep it.
If it actually is too much, put the limit of 2 back
Letting people test this for themselves would be better than everyone having blind opinions.
Maybe not 4 man sloops but maybe a way to add people to your crew that you meet on the seas. Say you are a one man sloop and meet up with a 2 man sloop......they can invite you, in game, to join there sloop. You can still have your own sloop but once you "bind" to a new sloop you no longer get your share of what any other ship is getting. It would be along the same idea as fleeting up but allow for all members to get credit.
