A new boat

add another type of ship captained by 5 or even 6 people

And why might we add. What wrong with the 4 man galleon ship? What does having 1-2 extra crewmates mean?

Not gonna happen

Too unbalanced

Imagine sailing a sloop and dealing with 8 people on one ship. 8 cannons (presumably one row on the bottom deck “to prevent 1 ball”) and trying to even have a chance

If we get a new ship it should be something like Captians Falcores one man idea. A real smugglers ship.

While I doubt he is the first to suggest a single person ship, his explanation/design was the best thought through example of it I have seen. His vid on you tube "The Best Solo Ship For Sea of Thieves" outlines it very well including how to deal with no map table, anchor, sail etc. I should have been clearer that was what I ment.

It would make a great smugglers boat. It would also pair well with an idea one of my crew came up with. Accomodations bases on sealing certain loot without killing or sinking the enemy ship after they touch it first.
