there should be the ability to invite players into your session and provide them with their own ship, and allow ships to take damage as is normal in the High Seas. At the other side of the coin, Any PvP related commendations should be disabled, You gain nothing from killing other players or sinking ships. Having other ships and a larger player cap is used solely for practicing PvP, or screwing around with a larger friend group. And if you do plan on inviting another ship/crew the gold rewards will be lowered to prevent easier grinding. But being able to have more than 1 ship would be awesome for setting up custom 1v1 2v2 3v3 and 4v4 matches with. Your friends for practice
More ships in safer seas
The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.
Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.
This is not only useful for new players but also families and players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly becomes available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and become a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount in 5 years and it can be fairly overwhelming.
The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.
