Well obviously this is quite irritating if you're already surrounded by Navy, but only have one target, cause they start to all come at you. Not to mention the waste of cannons. Those cost money, ye know!

So what are your tactics to dealing with these freeloaders? I don't like the fact they get half me plunder upon docking for just standing there.

I just had one guy, a level 27 nonetheless (for shame..) come aboard and start shooting everything. So I docked near Devils Anvil where there are no navy, and chilled there for a good 5 minutes before he got bored and went away.

If its a lower level I like to head to any wild island that has a large fleet of navy in front of it. Then leave them there. I know they cant teleport yet, so they have to take their little boat out. *cackles evily*

SO yeah, any tips?

First off, they don't get half of your plunder. Everyone gets the same amount as if they would have been alone. It isn't divided. Also, if you're surrounded by navy, chances are they will attack you anyways. Other than that, yeah, freeloaders stink. However, the best way to get rid of them is to board a high level navy ship.
