Good question. The time I had the least fun playing Poison'd was a time when none of the PCs had the ambition to become captain, but I think it was because I forgot the rules.
Without a captain, there's no one to lead the ship or its company in fights, and the rules consequences of that are terrible. When the Resolute arrives, it'll be every pirate for himself, which means that the PCs will be going up individually against an enemy of Profile 11, which means that the Resolute will be able to capture them without rolling.
It's perfectly fine if they're captured, that won't break the game in any way, so I guess I'd just make sure they know this feature of the rules and then let them make whatever decision they feel like making.
