Solo slooping is quite common on sea of thieves. Most of us have tried it with various degrees of sucess.
But a Sloop is not does not provide optimal gameplay for a solo player.
If you are anything like me, sometimes you just want to sail alone and do whatever adventures you come across by yourself, without crew interaction, it's a valid way to play, and it should be improved and encouraged.
After a stressful day of work, dealing with other people can be straining...
Yes, I know Sea of Thieves is a co-op and Player versus Player multiplayer game, but Players can cooperate in up to 4-person Crews or sail alone.
And it's the "sail alone" part that needs to be adressed.
Yes we have the sloop, but optimally it needs 2 players to work.
I suggest a Solo player ship, smaller than the sloop, that cannot dock a rowboat, and only has 8 hull holes to repair when damaged (not counting the mast, capstan and wheel.)
1 in back, 3 on each side and 1 in the front.
What type of ship should be used you ask?
Taking some inspiration on Sid Meyers Pirates, the Pinnace could be a worthy candidate:
"Pinnaces were used as fast merchant vessels, pirate vessels and small warships."
*Image used as reference of ship shape.
A 2 deck ship (acess like the brig) 2 cannons, one each side, removing the brig and the bed on the ship would also help with any size constraint.
1 barrel for Cannons, 1 for Food, 1 for Wood.
A stylish solo ship for lone wolfs, or when you just dont want to deal with a crew, but want to play your favourite game alone, and without as much of a handicap as you would have on a sloop.
Any suggestions, questions, opinions?
