Change Ships During Session

I haven't seen this posted here so I'd like to suggest we get the ability to switch ships without having to leave the server. I'm not sure how possible this is from a developer standpoint, but it would be perfect for certain situations. Namely, when you and a friend are on a sloop and you have a third friend that just got online and wants to play with the both of you but you don't have room. So now you have to decide to either make them wait while you finish the voyage you're on and/or turn in your loot or just abandon it all completely just to start up a galleon (or brigantine) so that the three of you can play together. My suggestion is to make it so the two of you on the sloop can scuttle the ship and vote to have the ship spawn as a galleon or brigantine to accommodate the third player. This could work backwards as well. Four players on a galleon and two of them have to leave but the other two want to continue playing. Well, instead of having to leave the server, join up on a sloop or brigantine and load back into a different or even same server, they can just vote to scuttle and spawn the smaller ship. This would save time, help with keeping friends from having to wait and/or providing the ability to switch to a larger or smaller ship without sacrificing the active voyage.

Maybe a ship yard, or at outpost I would be okay with this as long as it wasn't often...cool down timer...and not at sea, during battle etc.
