Officer is the fourth-highest rank a player can have in a crew. Players are generally given the rank of officer once they have subscribed or purchased a rank badge and played regularly for around a month, but the requirements for promotion differ with each crew. Officers have many new rights. In addition to being able to play the navigation puzzle without an order, they can now run their own pillages. It is only at this point that owning your own ship becomes reasonable, as prior to the rank officer, everyone else in the crew could use the ship but the owner could not.

With these new powers, officers generally go through a period of training. Often crews recognize officers-in-training by giving them a standard title.

Officers who prove themselves trustworthy are often promoted to fleet officer. Many crews also have alternate characters hold the rank of officer for special tasks like ship or commodity moving.

Depending on a crew's booty shares, officers can sometimes be given a bigger share than pirates and below after porting.
