Just use password.As far i know there is only one way to hide it from list,but with this you most likely also cant connect to it.So just use password. Anyway you too naive,if you really think that others really care about you or you server. All this just a pointless.

Size of party,this is one and biggest difference between atlas and ark. Want to fine play - then you need big party or game will become much harder.From dev point its doesnt broken at all,since there is no actuall difference for 2 ppl or 100 ppl,spawn rate for them the same. So for 2 ppl its almost impossible for survive,but for big party this is not even problem.I cant blame them to such things,since it look logical for pirate theme.Where you saw 2 ppl in pirate groups? All we need - take our place in part of huge communitys and play this way. Well,ok then. You want 1 ship per x titles,but with this huge party will progress much faster and will not have anything slowly they progress,so they just take much of map,before you can actually do anything.Do you think this is fair? There is no possible way to balance huge groups and few players. As for example,you cant complete raids solo,there is the same way. You need unite with other player for complete.This game about this way,and this is one part of difference between atlas and ark. Try to play by game rules,not against them.

This is early access at first,then it competitive game.Dont forget about that.Also,they cant ruin whole game just because its not fair or competitive,since there it no competitive at all.For now this is just game as it is,and only when its done its can be competitive.Try to be a little patient about it.

This is early access,you shouldn't forgot about this.And second thing - atlas - all about big group of peoples,if you play with few ppl,you will have such problems,try to unite with more players and its will become much easier to play.

There is no protection against them,no matter online or offline. Its use same mechanic,like other wild life.Turtles,monkeys,ect come and attack same way. Look at ark,its almost the same. Without them you can travel almost free without any danger.I dont think any ship,except maybe raft could be sank by shark.They never make this such way. And this same,as 3 point. I'm undestand,why people hate damned so much,but i see people dont get one thing - atlas as game for big company of people,its much much harder and random at survival for little groups,we need to unite with tons of other players to have descent way to counter damned.

It need to sync with steam anyway,you wont see you server in list without this part.There is no local part inside atals client and this is huge problem.Maybe they will make it like in ark,which is allow to use multiple interfaces. Anyway i feel same way,i'm cant use my home blades servers because of this,since my isp bunch of idiots and this dont work with provided tech,which also locked to isp...
