I wanted to share a tiny moment that makes the game good for me.
I always try to give my last stash to someone, rather than cashing it in. Today, I spotted a sloop with white sails that clearly was for anchor. I picked up my captain's chest, jumped from my ship and sneakily boarded the sloop, only to find its owner asleep upon the wheel.
I wanted to leave the chest there, but there was a brig coming, so I raised the anchor and made for Golden Sands (I believe). It's hard to steer when a pirate is blocking your view by sleeping on the wheel :p
When we were almost at the outpost, another pirate spawened on deck. Not sure if they were already part of the crew. They certainly weren't on board when I left.
They let me sail for a little bit, and then they shot me with a rifle.
If this was you: thank you for making that moment happen :p It was too good.
