General Overview On Ship PVP:

Ship PVP? Regard myself as attending at a constant rate, for I will be. Ship PVP appears to be entertaining. Previous to this rather exhilerating installment there was no practical use for the Grapeshot Cannonball Skill and the Chainshot Cannonball Skill because the Regular Shot and Lightning Shot could execute all the operations Chainshot and Grapeshot could. Yet... they were more cost efficient. Pity I made the irrisponsible error of purchasing the Chain and Grapeshot... Regardless, at least I can justify my accidental purchase now.

The Downsides And Upsides w/ fixes:

I see some downsides to this. Soon, we could have a serious problem with "New Player Hunting" which we all know is high levels challenging low levels unfailrly. A possible fix to this is to either average out the player's notoriety when fighting, or average out the players notoriety when fighting.

The reason I'm not suggesting only sending pvp requests out to players who are your level is simple. You should be able to fight anybody you want, at any time. By no means should we limit people. Want to fight your friends? Go right ahead. No fear of losing should swell inside you. Why? Average notoriety, average skills, and average cannon and sailing level! Yaaaaaaay!

I see upsides. I'm not completely "Oh noes this will never work!". Ship PVP will add a hint more fun to the aspect of pirates of the carribean. This can allow tighter friendships to be made and more friendships to be spawned. You can practice commanding crews and become more "sail n' cannon savvy" all at the same time. I can't wait for the initialization of the system.

In Conclusion:

PVP will be an interesting add on... depending on the options, requirments and game rules. I'm anticipating a change in level designation but I can't be sure until I get more information on the aspect. I'll try to stay well informed on this but It seems we're just going to have to wait on what they're doing with Ship PVP before any final statements are made.
