I know this has probably been beaten to death several times before hand. But I honestly feel like the limit of pirate crews should be increased, at the very least, more than four people on the galleon because four people is not enough to run that ship efficiently. But on top of that, I really think it should increase purely because of something that happened to some friends and I last night playing;
Last night, we took down a vault, a pirate ship captain, and the shark in one sitting, while capturing the last of the loot from the shark, little sharks spawned and killed us repeatedly in the water while we tried to get the supplies. And then a small skiff(1-2 person ship) showed up waving the good pirate flag and then proceeded to have more than 8 people on the ship who jumped our four person ship and overpowered us, not only as people on board attacking us, but as four people on a one person ship shot the ever loving heck out of our ship and people shot us with guns at the same time.
Now I get how this game is mostly, I am not terribly mad because money only means cosmetics, so I don't care THAT much, but its kind of absurd how the four of us couldn't even fight against these people who overwhelmed us with double our people on a faster ship.
I just honestly believe that there should be more people running that ship, and I am sure everyone has mentioned this before, I just think the game would be better that way(and also have more friends who would play the game with me, somewhere between 6-8) and peoples opinions of "More people means its going to be hectic and no one will hear each other talk or calling things out" or w.e I disagree, i think the hectic mess and the chaos would MAKE a pirate game more interesting.
