SLOOP 3 Players MAX
BRIGANTINS 4 Players MAX
GALION 6 Players MAXBy this design the whole balance among crafts is ruined, the sloop becomes almost a tank and the gallion becomes the impossible ship (as it is almost impossible to find a crew of 6 every time)
@thelagab21
Ahoy matey! A little more information perhaps? Your reasonings for this?
Also a gentle reminder to try and avoid all caps if you can.Or…. Or… just throwing it out there that we should do:
2 players on sloop max
3 players on brigantine max
4 players on galleon maxI somehow have a feeling that the ships and the stuff that needs to be handled on them can be done at peak efficiency with those numbers… almost like the ships are balanced that way
There used to be 6 ships per server. We currently can only have 5 ships because the game has bloated so much that game cant handle having 24 players on a server any more. So adding more potential players per boat would mean less ships. so with your proposal a server would only be able to have 4 ships. while i would love that its simply not going to happen. even having 5 ships makes me feel much better that theres only 4 hostile ships out there instead of 5. but we already have 4 player galleons sailing around dumping on solo sloopers and talking trash to them telling them to get good for not being able to win a 1v4 imagine how much more toxic the troll ships would be with 6 ppl. Not that all pvpers are toxic but the ones who use in game voice tend to be. I applaud the ones who just silently mess you up because they are just doing their job as a pirate and moving on, no words need to be spoken.

Cant. Game is still catering to the X Box One. Increasing the game's player limit will mess with game stability. So the map and ship limit will probably stay the same until they finally cut the Xbone support.
That is irrelevant and has absolutely no effect upon the numbers in the game or a specific crew. They could cut Xbox One support tomorrow and it would have absolutely no effect upon player or ship counts in the game. Know why? It is because of the server load that is causing the issues, not the continued Xbox One support. It is the servers that calculate all that, not the end client machines.
And FYI PC has even lower required specs than the original, day one Xbox One consoles. So much for that theory.
Also fun fact early on Rare was entertaining the idea of a 4 man sloop and the consensus of the community was it would be unstoppable so they decided against it. having 1-2 people who could board another ship while 2-3 manage the ship with the maneuverability of the sloop despite being limited to 1 canon it would still just be an annoyance to deal with. Though back then cursed canon balls, chain shots, blunder and firebombs were a thing and there was a fixed hole size not these giant ship sinking holes we can get now

LOL, what servers are you playing on that have 4 galleons at once? Alliance servers? Because it sure isn't the regular ones - either crossplay or Xbox only.
Furthermore with the new player limits in place (16) along with the ship count limit (5) it makes this scenario impossible. But as it currently stands you are lucky to see even ONE galleon on a server, much less multiple ones. So knock it off with the fiction trying to scare people to your position.

You've clearly never seen a server with 4 or 5 galleons fully crewed.

Not in a few years and I don't play alliance servers either. Most I've ever seen at once on a server is 3 and it has been quite some time, lucky to see one nowadays. It is all sloops and brigs now.
And as I said, it is literally impossible now to have 4 galleons on a server due to the 16 player, 5 ship limit currently in place. Case closed!

Doesn't seem feasible since most open crew galleons have trouble keeping 4.
I think this person wants to cram all their friends on a sloop/brig/galleon. I dont suspect they were worried about open crews

LOL, so you doubt actual FACTS? Math doesn't lie. You need to up your debating skills (or maybe take an arithmetic class) as all you are doing now is looking like a fool by doubting FACTS.
