Suggestion:
I am trying to complete the "Destroy Black Beard's Ketch" mission and since I am not very good at combat in this game, I die eventually during the boarding action.
When this happens I am returned to my last Revival Point and the boarding action is aborted.
I kind of understanding why this happens, but it is extremely annoying, especially since the first time, my revival point was on a different island and it took a while before I was allowed to quick travel due to combat conditions.

Details:
I managed to get into boarding action with Blackbeard's Ketch and during board action I died. As a result the boarding action was aborted and I was returned to my last revival point.
So first I had to find my way back and then I had engage all over in the boarding action.

Very annoying. Instead I would suggest that when killed during boarding actions the player's revival point is their own ship, i.e. in the hold maybe.
Additionally, the boarding action should continue as well.

Only time the character should be returned to the revival point in this instance should be if the ship is sunk or ALL crew are killed in addition to the character.

Boarding offers some great awards, so the danger should be there too, and something should be at stake.

You can customize this experience for your taste my editing this setting in your server parameters. It wont make you respawn on your ship, but will make such cases a lot less frequent.

Oh, I don't mind the risk at all. I agree completely that award = risk. But the annoyance of having to respawn at the last revival point, and then having to find my way back to where ever I was doing the boarding? THAT is what I am questioning. It is not about the risk, it is about reducing the annoyance of respawning potentially a long way away from the boarding action. I don't even mind the boarding action being reset and having to start over.

There is no option to make you spawn on your ship if you die in boarding. Although with player's demand it might appear later in updates :)
