In this game, other than the ability to take ships as a prize, it also lacks a navy. There should really be a navy for players to join, a fourth faction/vendor so pirates can be pitted against the formidable force of a navy on the high seas.
Add a navy harbour to a few outposts that sell naval voyages and sell navy themes cosmetics etc.
People are complaining that real pirates hardly ever attacked each other in ship battles because they had to worry about a common enemy, give us our common enemy, give us s navy.
