Able to boot if you are the captain of a Regular Ship

Hey ye all. I've had many " Wrong Doers " aboard my ship. And its a regular ship its weird you cannot boot people if you are the captain of a REGULAR ship! you can only do it on a privateering ship!:sadmh9: I think they should update it so you can boot people if you are the captain of a regular ship!! :skull:

I dont think that should ever happen. People with big egos will start abusing the feature. Captains could use people to get their quests done/fill up the ship with gold....boot everyone and port. Bad idea.

Darn! thats gonna be difficult.

But then another problem would be created if players got loot after being booted off the ship.

That means this method could get broken by the developers and allow just teleporting off the ship when you have full cargo to be obtained on the island you teleported too, meaning the captain could also get his/her loot early.

I can't trust disney to program this right because they are using an outdated game engine with poor/unfinished documentation and the lacking intelligence crew of developers.

I agree that there would be many who would abuse this feature. Why not have the captain able to select people to be vote kicked, everyone on the ship can vote yes or no. That way the captain doesn't hold all the power.

The Captains of our ships would go power and money hungry if this feature was allowed. One drawback of the power hungry is they must face hunters alone :laughks2:. I agree with Cat Toy that maybe a kick vote must be made to get the opinion of the entire crew on the ship at the moment. And maybe as an added option, only two people kick votes per ship per voyage.

Ah, the "Kick" voting feature.

How I see it in many other online games I play...

...

Disney should keep up with the program and make major changes to their game client already.

Like verison upgrades. Not (._._._) value changes. Those barely have any noticeable changes.

I'd say report them works better than if you could boot them, people would definitely abuse booting.

Oh yeah, people will abuse booting and it'll make them think they have all the power if he tells most of the crew to vote "Yes" to the kick message window.

If a captain was abusing the Boot, word would get out soon enough and folks wouldn't sail with them.

Hmm,

Does anyone else see the folly with a Vote???

Imagine this, the Capt. is Plundering away on his ship, happens to be Public... All of a Sudden he attracts Hunters, NICE, now for some fine Materials, the initial point of the run.

Ugh! Griefer on board, he initiates a Vote to Boot the Capt. because he wants to Port for Gold, a few Low Levels agree... Suddenly the Ship is minus it's Capt. against a Bounty Hunter and is left dead in the water to Sink!

Poor Capt. is more than capable of handling the Pesky Hunters, but because he opened to Public he now has to dredge his ship outta Davy Jones Locker... Sure gonna inspire more captains to NOT Open to Public.

This was originally in the game before, but it was abused and disney pulled it as pirates were abusing it. so my vote on this is NO definitely not

Simple solutions would be either the owner of the ship cannot be votekicked, or only the owner of the ship could call a votekick.

Sadly,

Sailing these days is fraught with peril ; Between the "Hackers" who sink your ship and the "Hackers" who steal your ship...

Best to NOT bother with Public and Sail only with Trusted Friends on Quiet Servers. :p

This feature was and still is only available in SvS. It has NEVER been available in plunder sailing EVER.

ROFL, yes I do see great folly to allow the inmates run the asylum by voting at all. No Captain worth their salt is going to permit any voting. Does a Captain ask his/ her friends, guildmates, and complete strangers who to permit before boarding his/ her own ship? Nay. Captain already decided and checks off the boarding permission as he/ she pleases. Captain decides what to plunder for and those who agree are welcomed to board. Captain runs his/ her ship throughout the voyage commanding what the crew must do to insure their success in claiming all their plunder.

Unfortunately, through no fault of the Captain, some scallywag boards the ship and creates 'issues' with no intention of stopping their bit of drama. In such instances, Captain should be empowered to make the upstart walk the plank... or send them to the Brig.

It's quite possible for the developers to create a Brig on board the ship. Once the individual is thrown in, that individual will no longer be seen above deck carrying on. He/ she is no longer counted as a Shipmate or as a member of the crew. Whatever they earned while above deck is all they get minus any loot or materials. Meaning, they just get gold only. They have the option to therefore leave or stay on board. No one can teleport to them either because that Go To button is automatically disabled... as well as their chat. They will be unable to chat to anyone at all. The only power they have is to either stay until the Captain ports, or leave voluntarily. Doesn't matter which action they choose at that point, they are banned from playing on that server for the next 24 hours.

I like the Brig idea very much. :SkullBullet1:

I'm very much liking the Brig idea... Especially where they are left just the 2 options once the Captain confines them there... Either Leave with what you've earned already GOLD ONLY or Stay there "Silent as the Grave" to contemplate their transgressions, with either resulting in a 24Hr. ban from that Ocean.

Just imagine how quick Abassa would quieten down, lots of pirates there are sure to find themselves in the Brig faster than Joshamee Gibbs after a Hip Flask. :laughks2:
