As the title says, this suggestion is about randomly occurring spawns of npc ship escorts, which may be small ranging from a caravel with two sailboat escorts, to giant escorts like two galleons and ten sailboats. What’s the purpose of this? They can be interacted one of two ways, based on your reputation. These are the following ways that they’re interacted:

  • You receive a prompt telling you if you want to escort the ship(s), with rewards for doing so on it. This prompt only appears once you have Hero+ reputation.

  • You attack the ship escort, and you can loot the treasures on the vessel that’s being escorted, which usually ranges to 10 - 100 treasure chests depending on what size the escort ship is. Moreover, the sailboats will automatically attack you once you’re in range and your reputation is lower than Unfriendly.

On a side note, if you accepted the prompt to escort the ship, you cannot damage the surrounding sailboats or the escort vessel, and if you were to invade and destroy the escorts your reputation will decrease slightly or drastically, ranging from only 200 to 2000 reputation depending on the size.

tl;dr hero defends fleet with escort for prize or villain makes fleet go nuclear and steal all the riches and reputation drops :frrich:
