Hourglass xp should be boosted by the emissary flag you're flying. It doesn't make sense on how the emissary boost affects everything else but Hourglass xp. The mode is already widely unpopular for a multitude of reasons, but the mode's progression is so unnecessarily slow it doesn't feel like skill when you play, it feels more like a grind. They should increase the amount of xp you gain from each win while keeping the xp gained from losses the same. It could encourage more fighting and less loss farming, and could bring more players to the mode since it would be more realistic for casual/working players to grind out these curses with their schedules.

The whole concept of high risk high reward like gaining multiplier towards streak 4 is very bad. With consistent cheaters this system makes no sense, get your 3 and then you sink to hax(or just sink). Its not loot stacking, and winning crew get no major reward for sinking a high streak opponent, 20k gold to HG value aint a thing. It will be much less frustrating if the allegiance reward would be always like amount you get at streak 4 and never increase. That would make a single win valueable and not feel like you lose progression every time you sink at 3-4 etc.
Sinking a crew on streak should add their HG value to yours (all their gold, not streak). That will make sweating these fights worth it. As sometimes when you are at streak 0, and your first fight is vs some sweats on high streak, and it takes huge time to end the fight, if you lose you lose time and gain nothing. If you make it, you get almost nothing: +1 streak and 20k gold. No sense. During that time you could sink multiple easy crews and gain much more.
