I crew up with random people all the time. Only had one bad experience so far (partly my fault.. partly not. Had to leave computer for a minute, came back and the capt'n was a jerk to me.. I jumped ship because I was mad, and he threw me off the crew lol!). Otherwise, it's been wonderful. I have found that I tend to crew up with people who are obviously over 18, although it's not really deliberate (at least not conciously lol). I am honest about my cannon skills (stink but getting much better with practice). I've had people do a goto and come on my boat- in one instance that rocked, because the girl was terrific. Usually, though, it's a mixed blessing.
I have noticed onboard ship that either the captain completely understands what it means to have a crew (as in.. try not to lose cannon time by switching sides) or he/she doesn't get it at ALL which has me running back and forth practically foaming at the mouth (not so bad if there is a larger crew, but stinks if it's just me or even me and one other on the cannons). It's all fun, though.
As far as in a random fight- I will if they seem like a nice person, who is also fighting. I won't crew up with people who ask if I'm just running by through town though, since it usually seems like they expect me to follow them around on their errands like a puppy.. which I'm not.
I can't say I've ever joined a crew just to get extra points while leveling though. Great idea!
