To make NPC battle more interesting, I suggest to add several level of AI difficulty on open world. Currently we have the normal ones and elite one which mounts special guns that may be looted after sinking it; I'd imagine it would be even more fun to have a harder NPC that can use hull and rig repair as well as rum - albeit at slower rate than player, and an even harder NPC that'll do everything they can to ruin your ship and your day, which can include dismasting/chaining your sails on top of being able to use repairs and rum. This can give more hunt mission options as well as offer higher reward
