I mean they're not the same as in a privateer has a bit more "freedom" than a Kings-man to do what they want on the high seas. They don't get ordered around by officers, and basically destroy some enemies and get payed, like a bounty hunter. You can speak with Blake if you want to rejoin though, as he's basically Head of the Navy now.
