The high level pirate won't get a share of the gold if he is not onboard! Once you leave the ship, even though you are in the crew, you give up crew bonus, ships sunk, and crew share.
Also, isn't this pretty much what we all aready do? Just not for total strangers.
But not ALWAYS! Letting someone borrow your ship is a nice gesture, but GIVING them your ship really isnt good for them as a pirate.
Part of developing your character and leveling your pirate is the challenge of sailing. If a level 2 pirate can lease a war Gall, he could get his sailing all the way to level 4 or 5 in the first haul. By the third time you launched it for him, he would be level 5 notoriety, and probably level 7 sailing, but level 1 or 2 on every other skill. Why would he ever even bother to buy a ship of his own if he never has to pay for it, always has one at his disposal, never has to worry about repair costs, etc.?
One last bad, Since the ship is the high level players, if the one driving decides to take on a flag, they wont be able to board it. The captain is the ship owner, no matter if he is onboard or not. Only the Captain can hit the boarding button. Now the ship is tethered to the flag ship, and cant let go. (I've seen this in regualr sailing where the ship owner discoed while grappling the flag.)
One thing that has been said over and over in many of the threads about helping each other, Too much help is actually a bad thing. It develops a high level pirate who is unevenly balanced in skills, and can't do anything for himself.
