I have noticed allot that some players just want to do 1 thing Sail a Ship that is literally the first thing every single player wants to do.

We might need to stress the Survival part first. Some players you can tell immediately that they have no interest like a players name or how they talk in chat etc. I came across a player they had mostly numbers and letters like Jk17wwd

Like What Kind of Hell name is that. It just shows the lack of creativity or just not even interested in putting in the effort. Also a hint is how they talk to you. If they speak in cut sentences like or just plain simple stupid.

You will get a feel for them and they usually leave within the first 10 or even 5 minutes.

Choose those you let into your crew wisely. Strike up a conversation, find out on what level they are at. Or make like the Deckhand crew and Invite Everyone and hopefully you get a few out of the bunch you just dropped into your crew.

Also know that just inviting them into your crew doesn’t guarantee they will stay. You personally or a trusted Active player should take the time to explain some stuff to them and show them around like to /warp shop etc explain some of the economy stuff how /bal and making money works and good stuff like that. I do that with all my members and some stay and some leave but that is the way it is.

Oh and Don’t go Stealing members from other crews by Private chatting them and telling them the crew they are in is junk and they should leave and Join another crew. It is mean and Yes I have found out it has been done. Pretty low move but whatever shows the level of maturity or mabey they are just pirates to the core.

Take what you want give nothing back
