Suggestion Help from others at sea.

Is there any way to implement the ability to form "crews" with other ships, to fight off the swarm of ships that attack you at one time? I have gone after 1 ship , only to have 10-12 large ships chase me down with no way to escape. If you could have other ships come to your aid, or sil in an armada to fight the large floatillas off Padres and some of the other islands, it would be more realistic.

I think some sort of SOS signal would be good. So when you need help you could call out an SOS or fire a flare to alerts nearby players to come to your aid or join you.
I often pass ships on fire that are swarmed with enemies and my first instinct is to go and help but then I don't know whether they have a good crew on board doing repairs etc and would think I'm coming in to get easy loot.

An SOS Bell...that you can ring and any ship within a certain distance...determined by the Devs....can hear and decide to respond or not.

Also, if you use the SOS Bell as a Lure...to bring player ships into a trap...those who are ringing the Bell should be in violation of the Pirates' Code and be punished accordingly! -(
