@cyphronite what if you could put a bounty on such Pirates? They might be less inclined to attack if they knew such a mechanic existed. Check out the details on my post here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/57094/pvp-factions-and-bounty-hunting
Either way, I feel you for I have also been hunted as a solo Sloop. Only thing to do currently is to sail to the outpost closest to the attack, hide or scuttle your ship, and wait for a revenge ambush.
Good Luck!
@cyphronite i used to have anxiety attacks playing this game, but then i saw he-who-shouldn't-be-named become pirate legend on an IGN upload and saw that turning in my loot wasn't really worth it. i still get a little sour for wasting an hour or so, but i have more fun with it now.
the worst part is not being able to strangle someone making kissing noises at or saying they'll be ******* my wife after "this" (the battle). she refused to play for about a month until last night. had a good time and nobody bothered us. the tryhards in the beginning really ruined the experience, but it seems more laid back now (so far) lol
and yes, i absolutely blocked those people and reported them to Xbox, just not to Rare.
