Lately I’ve been encountering a lot of issues when other people’s ships start attacking. I’m on Xbox Series X and I can’t count the number of times I got killed by someone walking through hard surfaces, never having to reload their guns, have unlimited food supply on hand or simply because of a “lag spike”. I do not wish to blame the PC community, but this makes the game really hard to enjoy and frankly, also limits the time I spend playing it. My suggestion would be to make it possible to choose to disable cross play. I appreciate that you can set preferences for cross platform, but it would be nice to have a definitive option instead of a “maybe”.
Option to disable cross play.
@qceliot There already is..
Go into settings, matchmaking preferences, then set prefer xbox players with controller to on.@qceliot As you been told there is the option already. I will say this though just something I would like to add. When I first started playing this game I was on xbox and there was no disable option. Sure it wasnt always easy dealing with PC'ers but I managed. I met my bestfriend who was a PC'er, if I opted out I would never have met her. So when you get rid of a entire group of people you also get rid of potentially meeting other you may really click with.
Of course if that does not bother you by all means just select opt out.

If you have this option turned on and the text in the top left corner when you log in or after a server merger says you're in "Xbox with Controller Only" there is no maybe. That's what you get.

This is very true - there are so many Boatswain I am friends and sail with on PC and some of my OG crew were PC as well!
I play on PC with a controller as mouse and keyboard aren't accessible to me and it can be tough but I crank my sensitivity up and do the best I can. My whole crew play on PC so I muddle along being a bit slower and doing my best.
This isn't an option for everyone though which is why we do offer Xbox servers as a preference. The game will do it's best to match you with other console players but be aware that it is not always an option due to what's available.
Dropping anchor here.
