They may have been just referring to the "ultra-cool" update... Aka "We added 5 new ship names to choose from..."
They would do that...

I use public ships alot! I always ask to crew if they like & if they are looking for anything special. I appreciate the ride, battle, $ etc. I also have found friends this way. I don't have many friends outside of my Pixie Piratez Guild yet so this is the best way to get the ships I need although I don't worry about it too much. I figure if I need Navy & they are going for EITC at least I get some cash & get to blast ships. I can get my ships later. It is too bad some pirates could ruin this option. I did get on a ship & the Capn said she was on a special mission & had forgotten to uncheck public (before I shot anything) so I said Good Luck & tped off. Too bad some pirates forget a ship is a pirate's home & as a guest you should act like one!!!

I would really like to have this feature. It should not be hard to change since it works for svs.

A bad apple on a ship is a real fun killer. I am paying good money to play this game, and as stated previous me ship is me home yo ho!

So why not activate this feature for all voyages?

No, the captain (or anyone else) has no ability to boot someone from their ship. If yer are captaining a privateering ship, you have this option by:
1. Click on a player's character, tag, or name in chat
2. Click the button at the lower-left corner of the pirate's info tab
3. Click the picture of the boot
But if yer captaining a normal ship, no, you do not have this option. But, aye, I do agree that Disney should make it so you can use this in normal plundering.

I sometimes feel like misusing Viper's Nest to do that cartoon thing where the knives go all around the dude hanging on the wall...
The only time I would use Public is on test. There are almost ALWAYS good people, and RARELY, noobs as I call them :P.

Aye, walk the plank sounds like a good idea, but too much room for abuse. Hooligan players will be looking to just boot everybody as a joke. I have seen a trend of being requested to crew a player, then they hit me with the PVP or Treasure Map request. When I say no they poof off the the ship or half my crew joins in and I am without crew. Public boarding has been a curse and a blessing, as ya do tend to meet some descent gamers but have to put up with the grievers/disruptive ones.

I didn't know what spamming was til I had a level 7 pirate taking a survey on my ship. We are all to battle, sinking ships with a droning message of drivel in the background about "guess what kind of monster I am" It boggles the mind what these players are up to. I would have loved a "walk the plank" option on these occasions.

Personally, I'd like for an ability to kick the captain. "I just paid 60,000 for this ship."

After all, such does drive the plot for alot of the first movie.

CarribeanThunder · #53 08-26-2009, 09:23 PM

Yeah, but if that were to be put up, new people would be booting War Frigate Captains, and I would not like letting the hands of a low level touch my Shadow Cobra. She is.... not one to be touched by them. Only I ( and friends who ask ) can touch her.

mcpainpirate · #54 08-29-2009, 09:36 PM

There should honestly be a kick pirate off button.

Kick the captain off, no def not, but I am up for a mutiny option. Especially if Captain is actually not doing crew a favour at all, i.e. booting people off for whatever reason! because they can...

you go to moderation and Boot from ship

CaptainElizabeth · #57 12-21-2009, 09:53 AM

Uh, I Wish!
I know exactly what your saying!
Lol, disney should make a little plank for them to walk. If the Captain of the ship wants to boot them, lol(:

Captin Spencer · #58 12-22-2009, 12:03 AM

and they have to swim to shore

GammaGoblin · #59 02-02-2010, 03:50 AM

So it sounds like the majority of posts here point to one main solution: the ability to boot players from your ship regardless of wether or not your in svs. In my eyes, there's really no difference. People get just as mad at cannon ppl when they shoot at random svs player ships as when they shoot unwanted Eitc or navy ships. This was said before, but it's probably going to have some bug, which is going to branch off into a bigger problem. If Disney doesn't recognize this as a major problem, I guess we'll have to chalk it up to the fact that we just have to deal with these unwanted shipmates

Kat Five Knives · #60 02-02-2010, 06:53 AM

Well you sorta have the option- when my ship is on public I crew as many as will accept. After a full load I port, boot the rude peeps from crew, then launch and take the ship off public but keep crew, friends, guild.

Not perfect, and not exactly what you are saying here - but it is close.
