so as a solo player it now takes me 6 hours to farm a schooner if I'm not raided I can crew it with npc that can make ships playable for me sloop just doesn't cut it vs others reason I play is for fun not to farm all day
WHAT I CAN NEVER DO AS SOLO
is claim and hold land like groups can so you have advantage strait away you own land if others farm that land or after midweek live on your land you get tax so if I move from lawless I get taxed on my farming and if I stay in lawless I have to deal with all the scum that come to break in every day
least as a solo player I should be able to do in sail in a schooner ill never make a brig or galleon and I could never afford the crew to man it as treasure is hard as hell solo my gold income if mostly from floaters
anyway that's my 2 cents there aren't many solo players that play this game but I believe the 2x rate is good for that reasons
