    We have 2 variants on the brig and the galleon. We also split the cannons into Left/Right/Large for command groups. Pretty much drive near/past them get agro, turn the rear towards them and kaboom. Then stop and pickup loot/crew and continue on.

    Galleon turn's very slow though I honestly prefer the brig but it's fun either way the Galleon is stated heavily into weight so it can carry a LOT of ammo. We used triangle decks at the rear of the galleon to get the larges back far enough to hang off the rear of the ship otherwise it's hard to get them back far enough and the square ceilings say out of bounds for the very last row.

    Nice! Cool ideas. I'll pass this along to our ammunition specialist. 

    Thanks for sharing!

    We keep seeing more and more of them as well. The largest group I've seen is 8 all together and I feel like last night I always had at minimum 2-3 in view as I traveled. They aren't mostly green either. Last night there were 3 yellow and 1 red in a group. I've seen groups of oranges just bouncing off of each other. I've sailed along region borders and had them just in a long row the whole way. I feel like in PVE, people are just not doing anything about them so they accumulate, and in the large groups that they are always in now, I don't feel like we can manage. Fighting several with one ship is not a task I want to take on. Traveling already takes forever most of the time with the constant crappy wind conditions, but now that we have to weave in and out of mobs of SOTD, it takes several hours. By the time I reach my destination, I don't have time to do the task I came for.

    They are definitely still agroing, though. I was shot at several times yesterday, and granted we are fast enough to outrun them, it's super stressful when you're transporting resources or animals that it took you hours to acquire, trip included. I DREAD border crossings because on numerous occasions they are camping the border and you can't see them until you are literally sitting on top of them. When this was just the occasional single SOTD it wasn't so bad, but when you land on top of 3 or 4 of them. Ugh. 

    I feel like they need to de-spawn after some allotted time in order to keep the numbers reasonable. It'd be nice that they not lurk around border crossings either, unless the devs make it so that regions are continuous and we can see what we're sailing into.

    I mean cannon balls are pretty cheap. I destroy all ships that get behind my boat. I actively hunt any over 15. It's not that expensive to sink all the crap boats. I agree they usually have terrible blueprints... mind you I have had COMMON blueprints with better damage than masterwork... And the "Loot quality" doesn't really seem to actually matter that much. It's very very rng and more often then not the stat rolls are meh.

    Thor, what setup are you running on your ships for this? I keep messing around with options, but haven't found something that works well for us.
