why is cargo so cheap?

yeah that's what I bout average behind padres outcast and tormenta.I would like to see the drop cargo feature incorporated in the game.I was hitting some level 40 dreadnoughts yesterday and 1 paid 3 royals while another paid 1 crate?Then I turned around and hit a level 37 harbinger for a treasure chest and crate and Revenant for a royal?I don't know all these ships were full health I desailed them all and my treasure sense is maxed at 5.I think the cargo is pretty random from so many tests i have done sailing the past few weeks.At most I was able to get 10 royals on 1 trip though.The level 30 and up ships do tend to pay out more often than the smaller ships I have noticed that.

So it doesn't seem like it's worth putting any points into treasure sense?

I don't know sometimes it seems like it's working and other times it seems like a total flop.I see some people get better cargo than me sometimes with 0 treasure sense.Treasure sense may or may not work but I wouldn't risk not having it just in case.Because I have let lower level pirates sail my ship and they would end up getting crates and less often find royals without treasure sense for sinking the same targeted ships.
