Allying is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to form temporary cooperation (aka teaming) with other players. While allied, players are unable to damage each other or each other’s boats, preventing accidental attacks during teamwork or group activities.

Mechanics:

Allying can be managed through the Ally Button located near the home point button. Players can use it to send alliance requests, accept alliances, or remove existing alliances with other Pirates. For Marines, the Ally Button is unavailable because they are automatically allied with other Marines. Allied players can be identified through Instinct, which displays a green glow around friendly players when viewed.

Additional Information:
• Allied players’ names are always displayed using their username instead of their display name.

• Players in the same crew are automatically allied with each other. Removing an alliance with a crew member does not permanently disable it, as the alliance will be restored after either player dies.

• Players who join the same raid are automatically allied, allowing them to cooperate without dealing damage to each other.

• Certain glitches may allow Pirates and Marines to become allied even though Marines cannot normally access the alliance menu.

• Marines cannot manually ally with Pirates through the normal alliance system.
