Great arguments, however I agree with aka.
I personally like to actually control my
own ship, and i like aka's "Captain Sail Only" button. Big D needs to give the captains more power, after all, they
are the boss. They deserve more power.
I once got stuck inside Port Royal while trying to port, so I decided to invite some people from public. I know this sounds like a mistake, however I tried my best not to let them touch the wheel. However a silent-but-vicous pirate took over my ship when my game crashed and drove it out of Port Royal and used my poor War Sloop for a task or something. When I came back to see what damage he did I saw that he took over the wheel. Typical behavior, however I noticed that the people on board didn't say a word about it. To deal with this I just made them fight the colossus without my help.
Really, who is so desperate enough to steal someone's ship for their own desire? I don't trust a whole lot of people to steer my ship, unless I need cannon EXP. You would at least think
someone would speak up, but
nooo.
I know this is just a game, but really you would think people are more nice out there.
The only dowside to more power is the people who
have the power. Some people go crazy with power while others are generous with it.
All in all, the ship design is obsolete. Can't wait for create-a-ship, right? I wonder how the same ship-stealers will react. If trading ship parts comes out, "Hey gimme that piece now!"
Right now, this is me:
Like aka said, the only way this can be fixed is if they see what the pirates
really think about this public crew situation. It's not like I'm
forcing you to e-mail them, though, just getting a point through. I'm not sure I'm at the point where I need to tell a Mod about this nuisance.
