So here me out here, since RARE want to encourage friendly pirating as well as the PVP side, what if we introduced the idea of fleets?
How it might work would be you could add players to your “fleet” via a voting system (like how you vote for other things like voyages etc) and anyone in your fleet is treated as part of your crew. This includes getting money from loot, friendly fire not damaging them, and being able to help with voyages/forts etc.
This would also help folks that want to be a solo sloop but wants to feel easier about not getting wrecked (pun intended)
These players would be in your fleet until you voted them off, even if you log out of your session. (Obviously you’d only get the loot from skulls/chests while both logged in etc)
This would give an incentive to stick together and to create friendships and alliances while also allowing the pvp players to continue their rampage on the seas!
What do you think? Also sorry if this Is the wrong place to post this!
