like rare I get that it could be hard to code or are you still thinking about it thoughts?
what ever happened to the man of war idea
@closinghare208 I'm not sure rare ever embraced the idea. People have talked on the forums about wanting a bigger boat but the balance of what we have is tenuous enough. Adding a bigger boat would just upset that.
@closinghare208
I would love to see it too but we don't even see other galleons when my crew and I sail.@closinghare208
Mostly solo players that don't have friends that play or can't deal with open crews.Don't think it's a coding problem but more of a balance/need problem.
Like others said is there really the need for a even bigger ship? Seeing a full manned Galleon seems to be rare these days. Of course people will use the Man-o-war when it gets released but after release getting such a large crew 6-8? together is going to be hard/rare.
Then there is the balancing, every ship currently has it up- and downsides which balance out pretty well. Adding a 4th ship is going to destroy that balance. Every ship currently has a wind which favors them most., Sloop against the wind, Brig crosswinds and Galleon full wind, What will the Man-o-War's strength be? (Next to the massive gunpower of course).
@closinghare208 it was neither Rares idea, nor have they chosen it, afaik, just a buzz in the forum, flanked by a lot of No, Yes, Never, some scolding and a bunch of "Git Gud", as far as I can remember.
This is what happened.I believe I heard a developer mention somewhere that they would like to do some form of private server for people eventually. I doubt it would be anytime soon but that would work well with a man of war.
Instead of multiple ships and multiple crews, it would be one big ship and one big crew. Maybe eight or ten crewmembers. The world would be yours having no other crews on it. Friendly fire would be turned off so everyone could hurt and kill each other. I even had the idea of random sloops spawned occasionally at docks on various islands with no crew assigned to them that could be used until sunk. That would give you the option of splitting off onto different ships for different destinations or even to have battles between each other.

@inboundbomb just watch the pve threats. solo galleon vs kraken is gonna go real smooth
