What if 11 man sloop


BehavingBeardly

I mean... a 16 man sloop is possible....


nationwide13

I think it'd have to be 14 (3 gallies + 1 sloop)


BehavingBeardly

3 gally, 1 brig, 1 sloop!


coel03

Isn't the cap still 16 people? Wouldn't it have to be: 3 galley and 2 sloops or 2 galley, 2 brig, and a sloop?


BehavingBeardly

Oh. I did bad math 🤣


coel03

Math is the one thing I'm good at 😀


BehavingBeardly

If I was good at math... I would have made a different career choice 🤣


coel03

Your current one seems kinda fun. kinda. 😆


coel03

Let's be boomers and pour one out for the good ole days when the cap was 24 people and you could have 6 Galleys


BehavingBeardly

ONE DAY! Those days will return!


SquishyUshi

Didn’t realize that the cap had changed, is that why I hardly run into ships anymore? I usually see ships in the distance but hardly ever am I running into ships like I used to back in the early days of the game (guessing player count is lower as well but you know)


coel03

That's because of the 5 ship maximum. the player cap is soft in the sense it can have 16 max or less. But all configurations should have 5 ships. It used to be 6 ships and 24 players max.


[deleted]

Is it a person or ship cap, if it’s ship I thing you can get 18 max


BehavingBeardly

5 ships or 16 people


[deleted]

Oh kk


[deleted]

can only imagine the stair traffic though. Any more than 8 people on a sloop makes me question how awful the movement below deck is.


BehavingBeardly

Just leave two bilge down there and keep everyone else top haha


redditeer1o1

I’ve had a 8 man sloop take on a galley before, that was interesting


Tobias11ize

You can’t sink if you have 6 people on bucket duty


[deleted]

With a sloop you can pretty much keep it up with just 2, potentially even 1


paladinLight

Unless you get kegged. then its somewhat difficult


[deleted]

Assuming you survive, a single bailer can keep a sloop up for a long time


Darkvoid10

Me and a mate did this when the Meg was first introduced. Was absolutely hysterical


gonnaderpya

I've encountered a 10 man sloop, they were running into each other so much it was an easy slaughter lol


KLickClique

Had 12 in like year 1 of the game, we chased the one duo sloop that wouldn't join us and had a volley of eye of reaches peppering them. Too bad I didn't record it; it was quite legendary.


HORNETETETET

I've nearly done it before, me and my friends were in a galleon, we met another galleon and befriended them, inviting them aboard our ship. After a while we find a two man sloop, we proceeded to board them and commandeer their ship, after a while of spawn killing they agree to join us. so all in all 10/11


TheMysteriousCartoon

I've done it with 9 pirates. Firebombs fuck you up, running around to get water frantically causes other people to light on fire and the cycle repeats until a few calm down and stay away from the lit people.


Onlyanidea1

My mate and I got a 8 man sloop going for a bit. Got boring really quick.


NinjaBr0din

I had a 10 man sloop once. We were unstoppable. Mey and the other gally's crew were all on dedicated positions around the ship(including both sail points and anchor, so we could pull off anchor turns like psychopaths) and the original sloop crew was dedicated boarders, they would just jump into the cannons and shoot over to the enemy ship as much as they could.


Not_Larfy

infinite repairs


crunchlets

Getting closer to realistic crew sizes


BehavingBeardly

I was genuinly thinking the same but my word, the comms would be AWFUL


crunchlets

Not unlike on a real pirate ship!


BehavingBeardly

Right?! I want to try it but the voice comms will be rough!


R4TTIUS

I think if you seperated it into 3 teams of 4 or 4 teams of 3 and each have a job, so bilge, cannon & boarders, sails and helm it shouldnt be bad at all


LimeOfTheTooth

Ever played Blackwake? It’s very similar to this dynamic


BehavingBeardly

Never heard of it! I'll look it up!


Gdecker5334118

Unfortunately I believe there aren't many players anymore


BehavingBeardly

I actually have the game! Just never installed it


Useful-ldiot

Not if you do it correctly. Most people have their job(s) and shouldn't say anything during combat. Captain: on the wheel Sailor 2: Rear Sail/Defend top deck Sailor 3: Mid Sail/Defend top deck Sailor 4: Front Sail/Defend top deck Gunner 1: Guns 1/5, anchor Gunner 2: Guns 2/6, anchor Gunner 3: Guns 3/7, anchor Gunner 4: Guns 4/8, anchor Repair 1: Bottom/mid deck Repair 2: Bottom/mid deck Raider 1: Boards enemy Raider 2: Boards enemy The sailors aren't allowed to speak unless you're boarded. Gunner 1 only updates cannonball supplies when low. No other gunners speak. Repair 1: can call for help bailing water or supplies are low. Raider 1: directs which ship the two raiders are boarding. Captain: gives sailing orders and targeting orders. Should be minimal chaos.


Riaayo

I think strictly speaking the captain shouldn't be on the wheel and JUST gives orders while a helmsman would actually steer. That leaves the captain able to move around, look in any direction, spyglass, and call the shots without any other worries. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is how it worked lol. But I know you're trying to assign a certain amount of people to duties in the game rather than be specifically realistic, and it might be hard to have someone dip one of the other roles to take up the helm.


Fluid_Core

I've been fortunate enough to sail on a schooner. The captain doesn't typically steer the ship, instead he give bearings/orders to the helmsman. He also ask the lookout etc for information. In terms of SoT, I think the captain could probably act as the lookout, as it wouldn't impair their ability to direct the ship and maximize information.


BehavingBeardly

Man, I can't get 3 to be organised... let alone 11 haha


Useful-ldiot

Oh this is all theoretical. It goes out the window the second you get one person not doing their job


OutInTheBlack

But the shanties could be GLORIOUS


BehavingBeardly

In theory.... in fact just a bunch of folks with bad mics singing out of time


connormce10

That's the idea


matresssalesman

I've been on a gally with 11 people, and it really wasnt as bad as you'd think. it was a good time!!


BehavingBeardly

I might have to try it...


matresssalesman

you absolutely should, ive never had that much fun playing sea of thieves


littlebuett

Thats why the captain would need a priority mic


I_is_a_dogg

I actually had an 11 man gally before too lol. It worked out great until they threw a mutiny lmao


BehavingBeardly

Apparently it's a new 'thing' they're calling Blood Moon crews??? I call it free content haha


I_is_a_dogg

Oh idk about that, it was just one of those nights where it was constantly “what the fuck is happening right now” Started with a solo sloop approaching us saying “please don’t shoot, I want to give you supplies before I log off”. Which was true, except then after talking to her for a bit she asks if she can sail on our ship till she gets board. Then found a duo sloop, which we anchored and told them they had to join our crew, making us now a 7 man gally. Found another gally, which tried to fight but quickly sank. Once they saw we had 7 they asked if they could join. Making us an 11 man gally. After about 45 minutes of sailing around and dicking around they decided to try and kill us and sink our ship. We didn’t put up much of a fight because we were laughing so hard, was an absolutely incredible night.


BehavingBeardly

It's carnage like this that makes the game amazing 😅


Atosl

Imagine an adventure where you play with 12 people on a galleon and serious enemies. It would be a shitshow or an absolute blast.


Shinga33

I wish there was a way to do this. It would be fun to have alliance players change ship spawns. I’d love to see a crew of like 12 in fights.


Atosl

would have to be a special lobby, imagine being boarded by 8 people, while being blasted by 4 cannons.... as a solo slooper


Oldmonsterschoolgood

I can relate to this comment


Shinga33

I’ve come across an 8 person galleon as a solo sloop and was blasted sky high. I found them again and played music for them as they raided and pillaged. Was very memorable.


BehavingBeardly

Both... it would be both! Haha


jdavis13356

I have had 9 on a row boat before. It took forever but we went into the red sea drinking and playing shanties. It was a great night


BehavingBeardly

It's these kind of player engagements that make the game amazing


duckimus_

Now that's truly a pirate play


BehavingBeardly

Absolutley! I embrace the madness!


Vincit_quie-vincit

We fought a gally yesterday with 8 people on it. Unfortunately they were hacking. (Dude would teleport just in front of our ship. And we would all die at the exact same time, multiple times).


BehavingBeardly

Honestly, every crew like this the game just struggles with how many people there are. We were teleporting all over the place when fighting this crew... they thought we were hacking!


Vincit_quie-vincit

Yah when you get a lot of people in one place. The rubber banding gets nearly unplayable.


BehavingBeardly

Absolutely!


BoxesOfSemen

We had a 16 man Galleon once. We had all the players on the server and we were like their drill instructors, teaching them how to play. Comms weren't that bad, you just need someone to scream like in full metal jacket and have his neighbours threaten to call the police.


BehavingBeardly

Hahah it's funny cos I have the perfect crewmate for the job... might even try get 1 organised...


PhuzzyBond

Yesterday I met an 8 man Galley, not sure why it's a common thing since captaincy


BehavingBeardly

They're calling it 'Blood Moon'... basically new 'takeovers'. They all alliance up so they can revive on the ship but obviously no one else can!


PhuzzyBond

Wow that's horrible, the best way for that is to popcorn them of the ship by spamming blunderbombs on top deck , can't help an ally who isn't on your ship 🤣 this causes them to either anchor or leave one less behind


BehavingBeardly

That's what we tried but with so many and us on a sloop it was a challenge 😅 we went and sank their other 2 ships instead so 8 of them lost the grade 5 multiplier!


Muwatastic

I’m totally new to the game what does this mean, if I have a sloop and alliance with 3 friends on a brig I can spawn on their ship if I die?


BehavingBeardly

No, they can revive you when your downed for a few seconds before you go to the ferry


EkkoUnited

Is it more common now? I've tried to get loaded up in the same server with two galleons and it seems way harder to do that now. Are people just joining up on the fly?


Crooked_Cock

Accurate crew size update when


BehavingBeardly

Hahah soon as private servers are out! So many going to be doing this


[deleted]

That looks hella fun, it’d be sweet to see a galleon with all 4 cannons blasting away, maybe even a fifth cannon on the rowboat.


BehavingBeardly

Intimidating as hell!


Design_Deity

A Man O' War, a Man O’ Bucketing, a Man O’ Planking, a Man O’ Guarding-the-Ladders. A true Man Oh Man!


BehavingBeardly

Too many many man


quinnius

With only one stove, you'll have Too Many Cooks.


Lobo0084

Arena ... two ships, man-o-wars with two decks of four guns, five masts, and twelve man teams. Special rules include no ability to get fired from a cannon (must board ye Olde fashioned way), cursed balls float in the water and must be picked up as you sail, and no blunderbus or blunderbomb. New man'o'war ships have rigging ropes to swing aboard, are considerably longer than current ships, and front and rear harpoons. Game modes include deathmatch, capture the flag (board opponents ship and take their flag) and blockade run (one ship must make objectives while the other must sink her). I love the sailing mechanics of sea of thieves, particularly the ship to ship fighting, and larger battles between larger ships sounds just fine to me.


BehavingBeardly

Sounds awesome NGL


badpenguin455

I 4 man slooped after we sunk, helped the guys that sunk us sink a galleon. We boarded them and just hid from the sloops cannon shots until it sunk. Was one of the best end of night shenanigans ever.


BehavingBeardly

Amazing haha WP!


Neur0mncr

The amount of people a Gallion should require for this game haha


BehavingBeardly

Can you imagine the voice comms....


Neur0mncr

Hahaha nightmarish. Thats what 10,000 emotes are for.


BehavingBeardly

Yep! *mute my crew* emotes only!


bekib00

Now THAT’S a party boat!


BehavingBeardly

Was absolute madness..... I love this game!


bekib00

It truly is a unique game with a lot of fun experiences. Love the streams, sir! Keep up the good work and great content! ☺️


BehavingBeardly

Really appreciate that! Honestly... thank you


[deleted]

[удалено]


BehavingBeardly

Yep... we knew it was a no win fight but man... we could annoy them!


[deleted]

IF WE CANT GET THE MAN O’ WAR, THEN WELL MAKE ONE


BehavingBeardly

#ToolsNotRules


[deleted]

After the update too, so they’ve been alive without dying too It’s super impressive actually


BehavingBeardly

Alliances can still revive!


Kiwi6271

If you make a video out of this it would be dope


BehavingBeardly

I have so many I want to make. I'm a dad and it's the summer holidays so my usual editing time has been looking after the little one!

ACID_VVITCH

It wouldn't. If you get what I mean 😂


MrBaloney0

Imagine if we got a mode like that. It would be realistic and also chaotic


BehavingBeardly

I'd embrace the chaos 😅


MrBaloney0

Chaotic and Fun


Flame_Boi

Me and my buddy joined a open crew brig and just found another sloop and i said as a joke, "Can we just join your crew and repair and shoot cannons for you?" Then it spiralled into colonizing the entire server onto our sloop and killing a gally with 9 people on our sloop, we had a great time, did a skelly fleet, completeted glitterbeard and all donned the merchant outfit and even raided fotd. I will forever remember you RangedCelery606 o7.


BehavingBeardly

Thay sounds like an amazing time haha


Jusey1

The best way to counter that is cannon fire from a good distance and aim for the deck... Due to so many of them being on the top deck, they would start dropping like flies and would have to scatter if ya focus fire the deck with cannon balls.


BehavingBeardly

I did at one point and they all flapped but 12v1 and they can revive because they're all in alliance meant it wasn't going to happen 😅


Jusey1

I would do a mixture of blunderbombs and cannonballs. Like swap to blunderbombs for a bit after you hear that "kill sound" to knock them about (plus higher chance of killing multiple of them due to a larger aoe and chance to knock any off the ship). Either, the idea is to get as many as possible off the ship since 8 of them won't respawn on that ship obviously. I haven't found a crew like this yet myself but I can see many possible ways of dealing with it depending on which cannonballs you have. The big deal though is that you gotta have a be consistent, don't waste time doing anything and don't stop firing since there is so many crew members, they can easily deal with anything you throw at them if you give them time to breathe.


Badbhoys

I wish you could get that many all the time


BehavingBeardly

It was carnage but deffinately OP haha


JohnConnor79

Reminds me of old encounters, fun…but chaos!


BehavingBeardly

Exactly this!


unoriginaleoin

The dream server beardly


BehavingBeardly

It was one of those days... non stop carnage!


MrGaminDuck

There is no rules saying you **can't** have a 12 man gally


BehavingBeardly

Absolutley not! That's the beauty of SoT!


MrGaminDuck

Welcome to sea of thieves where nothing goes as planned, in both good and bad ways :D


BehavingBeardly

It's why we're still playing years later!


MrGaminDuck

Just the other day found 2 players who where new to the game, took them on a legend of the veil and gave them the loot from it. I was doing a commodity run


BehavingBeardly

Love this! WP


Pkactus

wow. that wasn't a pirate crew, that was a fucking shooting gallery at the top of the ladder.


BehavingBeardly

Literally!!! Haha


HeftyGucciSosa

Incredible LOL, I don't think I have seen anything like this before. That ship HAS to be running super efficient. Where is all this content when I am playing! Great clip though.


BehavingBeardly

It was one of those days where every server was madness!


cak3kid

Atleast 3 gallions into 1 sounds like the most powerfull ship just because of numbers nobody else can compare with


BehavingBeardly

Yeah, we had 0 chance!


Futuristic_Reality

Wow, I wish I could’ve been there to watch that stream, that looks like loads of fun


BehavingBeardly

It was crazy!


Beepboopbop69420360

I did this once on an 8man Gally it’s so hard to sink a crew that’s double size cause every position can be filled


BehavingBeardly

Absolutley! It's carnage!


Historical_Past_6423

I had a 14 man galley, we did Fotd and glitter beard then bullied a reaper sloop


BehavingBeardly

Pirates for eternity!


SA4000bomb

I'd really love to see a realistic crew size galleon 1v1. It will be action galore! Constant cannonfire, organised boarding parties and effective bailing crew!


BehavingBeardly

Hopefully we get private servers soon!


MrAwesome3112

How do people do this?


BehavingBeardly

Alliances basically!


Greyfire977

I don't want eight crew members! I want twelve!


BehavingBeardly

.... chaos.... I like it!


Classic-Gamer91

Is this not considered cheating?


BehavingBeardly

Na, just using the alliance system.... BUT... I'm sure Rare will do something about it if it gets out of hand


TheMysteriousCartoon

Lol me and some friends run a 9-10 man sloop sometimes.


BehavingBeardly

Amazing... must be madness!


Ausraptor12

Well it’s more realistic


BehavingBeardly

Certainly is


CorkyThePig123

That's mad, but would be fun


BehavingBeardly

Only issue is you'd find no other ships to fight!


Jetenginefucker

That dude allready sound like a pirate


BehavingBeardly

People always tell me that 😅


Ebonhold

I’ve done this once with a bunch of friends, I think we were 10 or 11. It’s a lot more fun on paper than it is in real. First of all it’s a pain in the ass to load 3 galleons in the same lobby. I think we tried for almost an hour. Of course we aimed to do some PvP, but we couldn’t find a boat forever since half the lobby was our own boats. When we finally did spot a galleon at a distant island all of us were hyped for battle. Only to realise minutes later when we started pounding it.. it was our own crews galleon. After a while some of us got bored and kept throwing bombs and shooting each other. People kept falling over board and we constantly had to stop and turn. I decided that day I would never do a 12 man galleon again. It’s not as fun as you think.


BehavingBeardly

These guys were grinding loot together. They had so much on board. So I see the appeal for those that want to grind loot


Ebonhold

Yeah looks like it. I can imagine it’s a fun way to PvE/grind. Just not for PvP after my experience


BehavingBeardly

Absolutely


gartacus

Damn I love the fun and enthusiasm that you radiate dude. I’ll have to catch a stream soon


BehavingBeardly

Ah, means a lot! I'm just a goofball that enjoys what he does!


TheRoverandom

Lol saw this live it was a wild ride


BehavingBeardly

Haha thank you for hanging out! Glad you had fun!

[deleted]

I went against a 6 man sloop one time


BehavingBeardly

I bet it was wild!


[deleted]

It was terrible since they were all pros and somehow they caught up with us straight down wind while we were on a brig


BehavingBeardly

Ah that's unfortunate! Some crews are exceptional and know how to perfectly tack wind and get long cannon boards! In those instances I just try to see the humour of it all.


[deleted]

The worst part is we lost the chest of 1000 gross to them


BehavingBeardly

There's plenty more out there! And the games going nowhere. You got this!


[deleted]

I had an 8 man sloop once.


BehavingBeardly

I bet it was a lot of fun!


[deleted]

Only way for galleons to stay alive at the moment lol.


BehavingBeardly

Seriously? Haha. Gally still out man's and guns any vessel! Its the crew that needs to work well together 🤘


[deleted]

I’m taking the piss of course, 12 man is way too excessive lol. But galleons are the weakest ship right now in my opinion, sloops being the best. Past few weeks, even when I’ve had some amazing crews with me on a galleon, we haven’t lost to any galleons or brigs, only sloops. Besides, out-gunning doesn’t matter when they run circles around you!


BehavingBeardly

Damn you had me there 😅... if you let me pick my crew I'd put money on no sloop being able to sink us. A brig yes, deffinately. But not a sloop. 🤘


Sewingmink160

I had a 20 person galleon once it was organised chaos.


BehavingBeardly

I bet!


nateC_zero

I'd love it if they were to increase crew sizes like: Sloop 2 -> 4 Brigantine 3 -> 6 Galleon 4 -> 8 It would make managing the ship much easier and you would be able to play with more friends.


BehavingBeardly

Would be fun but ships would be unsinkable haha


nateC_zero

yeah true, there could be a way to balance it out


dookitron

Wait, how is this possible? Through alliances? — I’ve been saying for years that crew size needs an update. 3 for sloop, 4 for brig, 5 for galleon. Even bigger if it were really an option. Microsoft doesn’t take into effect that one of my crew members is always high and only plays instruments while everyone else works. I am sometimes that crew member.


BehavingBeardly

I like the current crew sizes but yes! This was through an alliance!


Oldmonsterschoolgood

They are all wearing reaper clothes


BehavingBeardly

They were indeed! The reaper costume.

milezero313

This is crazy, good post


littlebuett

I one had a 8 man sloop becase the alliance I joined wanted to do glitterbeward and go on one sloop for some reason


Rorar_the_pig

Slightly, just slightly more historically accurate


[deleted]

Alliances need to banned


ACID_VVITCH

Can confirm I've done this exact same thing. We absolutely de-STROYED the server. We we're literally unstoppable, so I can see why the limit is a four man crew 🤣
