Solo play is totally flawed.

I can see this game being somewhat fun if you have a clan of friends you normally play with all the time. But, for solo play, avoid this game like the plague. In solo, you'll spend all your time plugging holes in your ship cause cause it's super weak and will sink if you bump into anything. Then since you're solo, every port you pull into, you'll be spending the first 5 min. after docking fixing your ship and bailing out the water. Every time, someone sneaks up on you to steal your treasure. I didn't have any since I had just started, but you can see this will be the norm for all solo players. If you're thinking of trying it anyway in solo, get games with gold subscription for $10/month, try it out for free, then cancel your subscription.
