Here's the issue:
I have a Galleon that holds up to 4 players and I have 6 players who want to play with me, what do I do?
I don't want to pick and choose who sails with me and who doesn't, that feels wrong and defeats the point of sailing with your friends. So I prepose and idea:
"Fleet with friends"
an entire server dedicated to you and your friends or your clan to do whatever you want, here's what I was thinking:
Maximum of 3 Ships, 12 players max, any type of ship set in High Seas mode (not safer seas, we want the gold and rep NOT to be cut by 50% that defeats the purpose of doing that). Just a server with you and your friends to do what you want. If you want to do a tall tale without someone trying to kill you and destroy your ship, you can do that! If you want to take on a fort without someone stalking you and reaping YOUR rewards that you work so hard for (I know that's the whole premise of a "pirate" game but come on! That gets old REAL fast), you can do that here. If you want to take your Clan fleet/Alliance Fleet into a PVP battle, you can do that as well! It'll be called: "Fleet Battles"; it can be a 3 V 3 Ship battle between clans or have a 3V3 battle with your friends in a Alliance! It's a similar idea that World of Warships has with their Clan battles except they do 6 V 6 and it's WW1 and WW2 ships not sailing ships but you get the idea.
I know it sounds crazy but alot of players wanted this for a while and I'm tired of always picking and choosing who sails with me and who doesn't, I WANT TO SAIL WITH ALL MY CLAN MATES AND FRIENDS!!! We want to sail with our friends together with our ships. I mean what's the point of having a fleet of ships in a clan if we can't use them let alone sail with our friends in an alliance.
Now I understand that in a normal High seas server that would seem intimidating and deter players from playing (epically new players and I encourage all new players to go to the Safer seas to get their feet wet) however for us causal players who DON'T want to fight other players who practically live, breathe, eat, S**t Sea of Thieves. We don't want to face them. We want to play the game at 100% not 50% because of players who are bored and want to kill us since were an "easy target", that how you get people to stop playing this game and go elsewhere.
So Rare, now that you have this in mind: you have to admit that this is a great idea and why don't you guys make this a thing. A High seas private server for players who want to sail with their friends/Clan mates without scaring anyone and won't be considered dominating the seas (which I've known that was the reason why you guys didn't do at first, which is understanding) as well as a PVP option for those who want to send other players and clan ships to the bottom.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see this in future updates.

Fleet with friends and PVP Ideas
- Exploits and gold farming. No risk, no reward.
- Gold is not cut in half in safer seas. You get full gold. Reputation is also not cut in half, just locked at a certain point.
- If you and your friends want to play together, you can try to get in the same server. A whole ‘nother gamemode is way too much work and not needed.

Playing without the chance of encountering other crews than your friends is not playing the game 100 % 😁.
@lem0n-curry this is true, I will say that. I should have reiterated that, we don't want to deal with hostile players who want to attack us every 3 seconds cause their bored. and yes that has happened to us on more than one occasion
@xdragonman15558 1 and 2. Was not aware of that.
2. That is correct that now I'm remembering it. (need a vacation so brains not working too well)
3. that could take hours and luck that none of us have. Honestly I understand that requires alot of work however if you want to attract more customers (players) you have to adapt and put the work in to accommodate that. considering the fact that there are more and more games coming out that are based around the same era as pirates IE "Ahoy". It wouldn't hurt to come up with something for players to have more room to play with their friends/clan mates other than a max of 4. I get the Exploits and faming however name a game that doesn't have that issues. if all else fails, increase the size of the ship capacity to 6 or 7 on a galleon@burnbacon My Biggest concern with that is you and your friends have to join a server at the exact same moment for a hopefully, maybe, possible chance of getting into the same room as your friends and that could take HOURS! Believe me, I've played games in the past with the same issue and it was annoying as hell and made me want to stop playing it. (some of them I did and never came back it was so bad)
I understand that Rare doesn't want us to do that so we don't farm gold and rep however people are going to find ways to farm gold and rep but doing it that way to so why don't we cut out the horse hocky and just do it. This is one of the rare few games that I get to play with my friends from over seas that's NOT region locked.
Besides, if creating a fleet and having clan battles is good enough for games like World of Warships, why can't rare do it. It would encourage more players to join and potentially spend more money on this game thus generating revenue more than what they currently have.
I know they're doing their best to please at least most of us however for us causal players that's all we ask.
