Look at the faction tables when you log in. If you see a little wooden ship on them, it means that someone of that faction is somewhere. To see exactly where they are, requires you to be lvl 5 reaper. Seeing where every non-factioned ship is in the game, will never be a thing, as it's up to you to stay vigilant.
My friends and I were on a galleon, and we saw a ship parked at a shrine. We decided to have fun with them, boarded their ship, and sailed them over to a different shrine, then set their ship like nothing happened and we all hid. Watching them trying to figure it out was hilarious, and we have the video clip.
A member of our galleon sees a brig kinda far away, so he swims over to them, and sees they're fishing. He sneaks on board, hides, and decides to eat the heads off of all the fish in their barrel. Listening to them argue and accuse each other, was hilarious. This brig then sees our galleon, comes over to attack us, and suddenly out of nowhere they get anchored and attacked.
We had a lvl 5 reaper sloop chasing us. We decided to have some fun with them, so we put an empty carry-all chest on a rowboat, and now they're chasing the rowboat all over the place thinking we had something of interest. I was laughing so hard, I couldn't breathe. To say they were frustrated is an understatement, as they just couldn't catch the rowboat.
A friend of mine calls me and tells me to get on--- he sees a brig doing a FotD. We park at Snake, he swims over while I wait, getting prepared. He uses their storage crate, takes all their supplies, and buries it at the fort. I'm already laughing, anticipating their reactions when they go to repair, or fire back at us once they finish. Greymarrow dies, they open the fort, my friend kills them all thanks to the kegs, and I open fire, sinking their ship. As we get their treasure, another sloop comes by, and we tell them they can have the rest of it, because we see the brig headed back to us. Again, I was laughing so hard, and between the 2 sloops, the brig had no idea which sloop was the guilty one.
We see a sloop parked over a shrine, and decided to steal it to sink a brig in the area that had been stacking world events. We piled all of our stacked treasure onto the sloop, and went after the brig. The owner of the sloop comes back, fights us at first but gives up upon seeing how much treasure is on his boat. We sink the brig (with 5 people on that sloop, we were unsinkable), and then use his ship to harpoon their loot onto it. After that we just logged out, and to this day, whoever that player was is still probably scratching his head at what just happened.
A friend of mine sees the Burning Blade, uses a rowboat to get over to it, boards, and without killing any of the 4-members crewing it, manages to steal the Ancient Tribute chest, jump off, board the rowboat and row away. I have the video.
The name of our guild is Shenanigans for a reason. We don't just log into the game, do voyages for gold and then hop off. We like to see what we can get away with, we make our own adventures, and videos. We'll fight any ship that wants to fight us, as we've had epic naval battles (we dove onto a server that had a stacked FotD, 2 sloops, a brig, and a galleon all defending it. Despite getting mega-kegged twice, and everyone attacking us, we did not sink, and managed to sink everyone else. Afterwards we allianced with everyone and decided to go and do Glitterbeard. It was an incredible night. I have the video, and will never forget it). You choose your own adventure in this game. It'll be as fun, hilarious, or boring, as YOU make it.
