Crews
Crews play a large role in Piratecraft, comprising of a varying team of players who are run by one or more leader.
Creating Your Own Crew
Creating a crew of your own is a simple process that merely requires you to type out:
/crew create (5 letter crew tag), (Actual crew name).
Creating the crew itself costs $10, but to verify it costs $100. Verified crews are capable of more than unverified crews are, so keep this in mind while you work on building up your starter crew. With a crew, you can talk to your members in the crew chat using /c at the start of each message, or you can toggle it by typing /c join or /c leave.
Alliances, Rivalries, And Wars
You can ally or rival the many crews out there by typing the commands:
/crew ally add (tag), /crew rival add (tag), or if they're rivaled already, /crew war start (tag).
When allied with a crew, you can use the ally chat by typing /a at the start of a message. You can also toggle your ally chat using /ally join or /ally leave.
KDR
Your crew's kill / death ratio is vital in determining what rank your crew is on the crew list. Some kills will give more points to the KDR than others will, while others will give less. This is determined by whether or not the player killed is an ally, a neutral, a rival, or at war with your crew when killed. The KDR of your crew will decrease whenever a member of your crew is killed. The KDR of your crew will not have an effect on the permissions you may use, so it functions merely for social standing with other players.
PirateCraft is the host of multiple crews and groups. To check them out, visit the groups page.
