Just give boarding ships temporary immunity so, people can actually have some fun.

Haha how can you say you want immersion and then ask for immunity lmao. If the boarding could be rewarding enough to make the other ship yours it would be normal to have great risks. For example (sorry to refer to this game again but it is my reference for naval coop/pvp game) in Naval Action, when you board a ship it takes time to do the battle but by the time, you team mates could help you by shooting some grape shots or preventing enemy ships to shoot at you. You could even do this in 25vs25 pvp but mainly you would board when there is fewer enemies, the battle is shattered across the ocean and you have cornered one ship Brian his last with at least one friend and killed almost half of his crew, you have many things you can fitt your crew with to make them better in boarding but it's always something quite risky

Just wish the game wasn't pvp focused. Wanted more an actual single player pirate game that basically is a more RPG customizable version of AC4 Blackflag with better graphics and better mechanics.

No one really cared about pvp ship battles except a vocal minority crying about Ac4 being single player on in the naval portion.

I'll get the game but once it's dirt cheap. Hopefully they'll use their talents to make an awesome single player pirate RPG in the next game

I think it's a little unfair to assume that it's only a small number of people who want a PvP ship battle game. I for one would find having much beyond that to be a waste of effort. I've recently installed Black Flag (having never played it before) in the hopes of getting a taste of what might be in Skull & Bones. I'm incredibly frustrated with the game as all I seem to be doing is talking to people and doing sword combat. I don't want any of that and I'm very excited to see that it looks like Skull & Bones will mostly focus on multiplayer competitive combat. That's not to say that some other kind pirate game wouldn't be a good time for other people but I believe (and apparently so does Ubisoft) that there are quite a few of us that want little more than intense ship v ship battles. There are already a plethora of good pirate games out there, not a lot in the way of 18th century competitive naval combat games (admittedly pretty niche)

What about...

Fort assaults
Underwater exploration
Harpooning
Tavern games
Plantation raids (stealth)

Black Flag is filled to the brim with activities, many of which would fit very well into a pirate spin-off.

I wanted PvP ship battles too, I thought it was disappointing that it was left out of Black Flag. I also wanted improvements to naval combat. But that could have easily been fit into a normal pirate game as the multiplayer mode. Heck, it's not like companies can't afford to produce big games with both fully-fledged singleplayer and multiplayer modes. Just like at Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption.
