Captain abilities /brig

No, at most a captain should be able to break ties to brig. This way if your in open crew on a sloop, you can vote to brig someone to tie them to the mast if they are toxic. Or on a galley if its two v two.

@andym314 said in Captain abilities /brig:

Captains should have more control. Captain should be able to kick crew members who are a pain in the A, or at least be able to put someone in the brig themselves.
However, once a player is in the brig, they shouldn't be able to use their equipment etc to further detrement the chip. In an actual pirate setting, the crew/prisoners would be made to walk the plank removing them from the ship. So why not in this.

Because it can also be used to grief another player, e.g. removing a player from open crew in favour of a friend &c.

I would say that they may have good ideas, both the plank and tying them up, but directly if we take out the realism, there should be an option which says "expel from the ship", but which simply removes the pirate from the crew and so as not to have a bigger problem with the afk with auto clickers, that would help a lot and beyond the creativity that they may have, greetings!

The issue is your solution is not addressing main problem and creates the potential for even worse scenarios. The issue is open crew attracting people who look to grief and troll crewmates. Your option would result in people abusing this and using it on players who have done nothing but contribute. Imagine doing a stack of fort of the damneds then the captain boots you to replace with a buddy to give them the loot. Everyone who suggests this purely thinks from a perspective of 'ill always be the captain so this solves my problem so doesn't matter what it does to others'. Take control back in other ways. Use xbox or discord lfgs to find crewmates. Actually talk to people in a party before inviting them to your crew so you can vet out trolls.

Captains should have more control

A well respected captain will have all the control.

Captain should be able to kick crew members who are a pain in the A

Ok...So..as many will point out, the scenario for this wont be happy.

a player is in the brig, they shouldn't be able to use their equipment etc to further detrement the chip

4 throwables? Yeah that isnt much an issue.

So why not in this.

Okie let us explain.

Me, join random captain ship. Nice fella. We spend a solid hour together doing voyages and stuff, end with stealing say example 3 Chest of Fortunes. Nice and we have a G5 reaper and just arrived at Reapers....
Captain decides to KICK me from the crew/ship because they want there friend who just happen to logon reap the rewards.

Is that fair?

This topic has dated back to the dawn of captained ships, you can look back to every thread that brings it up. The consensus really has not changed. As for an actual pirate setting, you wouldnt walk the plank, you would just be thrown over, but this is not an actual pirate setting, this is a goofy fantasy game, and heavily abusable features that can bolster some ones ego should not make their way into this silly game.
