It would be cool if you came across AI ships manned by ‘famous’ pirates. Whether it be actual famous pirates like Blackbeard, Long John Silver etc... or made up ones with in the game.

I guess it’s the same principle as the Skelton ships people have talked about.

Just something out at sea that’s not other players, but that you could team up with other players to take down.

Some could be easy, some hard etc...

It would even be cool if you did manage to take out the crew (without sinking the ship) that you could then make that your ship for the rest of your session, with allowance for everyone who played a part in taking it down. One big crew.
