Walk the plank?

[Davy Sharkmenace]

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All in all, the ship design is obsolete.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.

There are several good points here, but realistically been complained about a number of times in the past.

Zep's point is well taken that a crew member shot 6 ships, then left why don't they get their share of those six ships. This also goes with the argument why every time I just loaded the ship up with Royals, the server drops. Why also do we not get credit here for what we already did, let alone ship repairs for nothing when this happens.

I have it seen overwhelmingly not in favor of crew in many situations.
If I am shooting sails and broadsiding for rep, I don't want someone running off with the ship, or even turning it.

Because certain individuals -machines- graphics, or whatever the reason, the game crashes these people in crews on a ship, why should we always pay for a sunken ship someone ran into the closest skellie ship. The captain's game crashes, guess on their ship should go to dock just like we dock normally but captain choosing the anchor.

This same line of thought if a person "walked the plank" went to dock, no different then when you dock normally.

Captain at least being able to lock down the wheel would be also a good step.

Not being a pvp issue, I sure won't hold my breath for any of this happening.
