Design flaw ?

[JC67 38]

I like this game a lot. It has it's issues and is still under development and that's fine. There is one thing though ( in my opinion ) that is wrong or a design flaw. SotD. They make me feel like the prey insted of the hunter. There should be commercial AI ships instead of them that try to avoid me. Some of them heavely defended with good loot and others not. There can be some SotD here and there. Maybe they spawn some time after a ship is sunk. There could be an escort now and then to protect the commercial ships that aggro me if i rase the pirate flag ???. Where is the flags on ships! ? !

I want to be the pirate . Not the victim . Wherever i go, iam hunted by SofD.

They are the "enemy faction" for lack of a better term but I do agree there should be a number of merchant ships sailing around that you can either sink or do trade with.

They are being changed in the next big update, check the patch notes, or the dev stream.

I have. Unless i missed something all i can see is more, bigger SotD. They should give them the pirate flag.

One bigger, one smaller than the current ones.

though I do feel like they should be changed to actual pirate ships and the current sotd be made really rare spawns that are very powerful. 

I don't believe that the army of the dead could out number the living by like 20:1 and not have managed to accomplish whatever it is they have set out to do yet.
