A scenario that they may be afraid of? Captain gets a crew on his boat, sails around fills the holds.. then boots everyone before porting and they get nothing for having helped.....

Unfortunately you have abusers on both ends of the spectrum. I really do not see the scenario of a Captain having the entire crew walk the plank after plundering being a common occurrence. Not saying somebody wouldn't do that, but IMO the percentage of troublemakers are much higher in the crew boarding the ship and not so much the Captain himself.

As you stated, being the Captain of your ship you have say over what happens...period. Sure it's nice to help a crew out if they need ships, but it is a privilege for them to be there. The crew should respect the Captain, grab a cannon and help sink ships as any good crew should. Causing a ruckus by grabbing the wheel, not listening to the Captain and talking smack are simply unacceptable and IMO are grounds for walking the plank.

As Captains of our ships we all take a risk when opening to the public. However, you would expect the crew to participate in a well behaved manner. I would say a high percentage of annoyance comes from people shouting "I need Navy Ships" and someone else yelling "No, I need EITC". This can go back and forth for a bit as you just try to maintain harmony and prevent mutiny.

After marinating in this overnight, I still feel as the Captain of your ship you should have more control over what is going on. Walking the plank was part of Pirates tradition.....why not add it to the game. Perhaps you set limitations as you can only use once per login (you shouldn't need it more than that). Although this issue with a crew member getting completely out of control does not happen very often (at least for me), when it does happen we need options outside of just reporting as it upsets everyone on the ship.

A "Captain sail only" option would also be great so others stop grabbing the wheel.
