You realize a skeleton pirate is just a zombie thats been out at sea so long all his flesh has fallen off. I understand the desire for more enemy variants completely but think we couls so better than an already existing skeleton with different cosmetics

Zombies are overused in everything.
Kind of burnt out on anything zombie related to be honest.
Don't think Sea Of Thieves needs zombies at all.

New enemies are needed that stick to the pirate theme and sea.
Tired of only fighting armies of skeletons with aimbot pistols and shotguns.
Add in some variety to the enemies and throw in more sea creatures.

3 giant creatures need to be a constant threat in any server.
Kraken takes up 1 creature already. 2 more would be great.
1 more in water and 1 land/sky.
It feels way too empty in it's current state for PvE.

How about ghost skeletons, like the dude on the ghost galleon when you're killed?

No offense but let me get this straight...

You want to adjust the THEME of undead pirate crews... by ADDING .... UNDEAD PIRATE CREWS.

mmm-kay?

In addition to Skeletons, Zombie pirates, I think, would prove to be a variance on a theme, and add some flavor.

Replace high level skellies with zombies to explain the health buffs
