In the days before we had the option for captains permissions, you had the problem of random tpers who became random shooters and also wheel stealers the moment they came aboard, they might be people who saw you launching from shore who clicked on you to get your card up then tp to you after you boarded; they might be people who were sailing close to you and clicked on any member of your crew so that they could tp over to that person. And Im fairly sure at first if they took your wheel even the captain couldnt snatch his own wheel back. In those days we had no means of booting people at all, they might even hide in the bulk head of your ship as you could glitch into it then, random shoot, swim off ship and annoy the rest of crew with spamming, it was pretty nasty some times....

I remember those days well and how the little
Ratpacks of griefers would open your card in order to follow you around game. Once they TP'd to you they would have all their buddies TP to them in order to cause trouble with other players both on land and at sea. Changing servers didn't help as once they had your card open they could still follow you.
The ships boarding permissions were a real blessing once they arrived. If only Disney would keep them functioning. I've seen them out of commission for weeks at a time. And there is still much room for improvement with them. The ability to boot players from your ship is greatly needed in regular play not just as a feature of SVS. There are many ways in which teleport functions could be improved. For example I'd like to see a feature added that allows you to deny someone who attempts to TP to you. A simple popup screen with a deny or allow choice that pops up whenever someone attempts to TP to you, would solve the issue of unwanted people teleporting to you in game whether on land or at sea.
I'd like to see a feature added that would automatically boot from ship any player refusing to accept the captains crew invite. As an added feature to a walk the plank button I believe it would be good for that player who was booted to be blocked during the remainder of your logged in game session, that way they cannot return to you and continue making a nuisance of themselves with you or your crew.
