Occasionally we’ll sail on my Little Stormcloud, a brig, or if Fox is around, we’ll sail on one of his five billion different ships, all of which are unique.

When it comes to what you actually do in Sea of Thieves, a big chunk of the game is unlocking better cosmetics. One of Sea of Thieves’ big draw is actually fashion, where you make yourself as awesome and badass as possible. However, a lot of the better gear is locked behind quests, voyages and more.
