After you sink your fifth hunter, like clockwork, you get your "hat."

Only real benefit of this is not having to worry about Navy and EITC for a little bit, I guess, but I find it useful for when I'm all by my lonesome.

Don't even have to sink the ship. Just the first hit will get you the appropriate rating, depending on your cargo situation. Just found that out two days ago.
And, yes, that's what I do when I am out on my own, looking for gold.
One thing that's made me wonder: Does crew status affect the amount of cargo you get? In particular, does it affect the amount of materials? Should I be getting a crew to make sure I get more gold and/or mats?
