between open and closed crews

a player you don't know.With closed crews you can choose whether you want to start on a galleon or a sloop, no matter how many of you are
starting the game, so that this leaves room for other players to join when they're ready and make the numbers up to four.Rare has said that
it hopes to add the ability to change your crews permissions mid-game, as well as add the option to make a session completely private by
preventing more friends from joining.]On March 20 2018, Rare's sandbox multiplayer pirate adventure Sea of Thieves was unleashed on the
