On our seas you will only find ships of the privateers and the factions (Navy & Pirates)
The privateers are primarily aimed at beginners and tribes who are not yet so advanced in the game.
The "Scourge of the Damned" quest known from the Offi can be completed by sinking a Buccaneer Galleon.
Recognizability
They are clearly recognizable by their red sails with the buccaneer logo (anchor).
Aggro
Privateers have no standing system, they always attack you.
They do not participate in the battles between Navy & pirates.
Difficulty
They sink about 2x as fast (except for the Galleon) as normal Pirate & Navy ships.
Just like other ships, they only lose life (HP bar) when water runs into the ship.
Loot
The privateers can drop blueprints as well as finished parts.
Unlike the Pirates & Navy, their loot box floats on the surface.
Their loot is not as good as Pirates & Navy due to the lack of the standing system
Wrecks
As with Pirates & Navy, the buccaneer wreck can be mined, but gives fewer resources than it.
If the loot box is looted, the wreck disappears!
Crew
Like all NPC ships, Buccaneers drop recruitable crew, but they can't reach the levels they can in Pirates & Navy.
The level is random.
