my idea is to change or add a extra mechanic for how the mermaids work . i think it would be helpful if there was a extra mechanic in game to where if you were swimming or something and the mermaid popped up you could hit y and it would go away for about 30-60 seconds before it comes back . I think it would be helpful for when you are attempting to board other players ships
Mermaid mechanic addition
Im not sure if this is the perfect fix but i loke your idea.
All too many times when i am approacing an enemy vessel to set up a long planned out boarding they get me because they see the big damn flare telling them someone is near by.
It makes the fact that your name is hidden underwater semi meaningless.
Maybe we can tell them to go away or maybe they dont light their flare in the presence of enemies or even maybe they are visible only to you and members of your crew.
Long distance boaring is impossible with mermaids as they are now.

Enemy pirates don't actually see the smoke from your mermaid. You really have to be looking to see one in the water - they're not as obvious to them and they are to you - unless of course it pops up right next to their ship and they hear the "splash" audio cue.
I kinda think they shouldn't be seen at all unless they're yours; but at the same time it's nice (as the enemy) to have that preemptive warning.
@alxstprophet A way to dismiss them - yes please!!
