Could we address the state of piracy as an action at the moment? Currently, the ship captain and those on the sails are considered immune to most damage. In addition, the autolocked doors and low damage they take from conventional weapons, and the prevalence of a swivel gun npc means that 'boarding a ship' is no longer something people do at present. If I were to successfully grapple onto an enemy ship, with a few firearms and weapons, tools, there is currently no action I can take to successfully capture the ship. The captain can continue sailing without interference, the sailcrew will continue to sail, the doors leading to beds take such minute damage it isn't feasible to break into them, and the capture times even with the piracy skill make capture prohibitively long. Even if I were to successfully board a schooner on open water, somehow kill the captain, manage to break down the doors and wreck the beds, I would need to wait the better half of a day to capture the ship. I would also need to keep my ship there to respawn, as I have no other spawn point, and if someone were to kill me, they could interrupt and reverse my claim entirely by killing me once while I wait to respawn on my ship. What can we do to put the piracy back into being a pirate?

The last patch messed up connection

Im stuck on freeport A1... I go West, and the wall is red and I crash into it. I go north, that wall is red. Southern wall is red. I don't know what to do now

Hi there. I'm on a laggy server, A1. I've sailed an hour west to the western sea wall, it's red and my raft crashes into it. This means I can't change nodes in that direction. I got that. I spend 1h30 sailing north, same issue. Giant red wall. I spend 1h sailing south, same issue. Giant red wall. I could check out East but.. is it just a general server problem right now? I'm trapped in a freeport zone until the red walls go away, and it takes hours to prepare to go anywhere.

Fixed the problem, no longer need delete, but had to start a new character. Solution (temporary): Found Atlas Steam Group Chat.. randomly "joined game" off people until a server let me in.

Problem: Can't connect to any servers on Kraken. Leading up to the problem: Character was deleted when 5.5 deployed. Was forced to make a new character. Server would disconnect, logging back on prompted making a new character. After 5.6 I stopped being able to connect to any server whatsoever on Kraken. It will say "timeout" almost immediately, regardless of which server I chose, even if it was 8/150. Last server played was a freeport. I am completely unable to play. Tried: Validating file integrity Completely reinstalling the game after deleting all files. I don't know what to do.
