Gosh, ship jumping, It really kills the repetitive nature of the game for me sometime.
Sail out somewhere in a busy ocean and see how many ships I can jump from and to. I usually get bored of that after not too long though.

I have to add though, nothing worse than getting someone on your ship that shoots at everything, tries to take the wheel. (Well, maybe something worse, getting an unexpected internet connection lost when docking and having a stack of royals is!)

I usually dock if i don't know them, get whoever it is to remove them from their friends, and then take off again. Or if i'm feeling nasty I just move them near something big and bail ship.
