Yeh a pve Pyrate game is entirely possible, especially with npc ships and crew etc. The only problem I have with Atlas pvp apart from unbalanced battles etc, is the fact that it's not a Pyrate game in pvp because all you do is fight each other, which Pyrates rarely did at all. If all they did in the golden age was kill each other no other forces would have allied up to put an end to it. Atlas is NOT a pyrate game, its a survival game with Pyrates and Pyracy in it. Oh and i'm forgetting the other great Pyraty stuff like, Flying dragons, submarines, blah blah blah etc.
