Understand some bugginess, but when peoples time is totally destroyed because of 15 ghost ships spawning in all around 1 ship and you can't outrun them its stupid, I hardly doubt that the devs meant for it to be this way. And the New skill point system went from one extreme to the other, they need to find a better happy medium. I agree 1 point for higher skill points is dumb, but flame arrows, which is the second tier on the tree is 8 points? Common, plus they got nerfed anyways, flipping stupid. Its like they want to make this a shitty grindy ass game.
Right now this isn't a game for a group that has less then 10 people unless you want to spend countless hours grinding fiber and everything else, sorry not for me, if you want to fiber it up be my guest.
