So how exactly do you lose/take a ship from another player?

So how exactly do you lose/take a ship from another player?

By plundering a fleet which meets the following conditions:

1.) Belongs to a player who has at least two ships
2.) Belongs to a player who doesn't have the gold to pay the ransom that the fleet would incur in a PVP (Player vs Player) battle if the fleet lost the battle.
3,) Belongs to a player who doesn't have cargo of value equal to the ransom owed in the event of a loss in a PVP battle.
4.) Belongs to a player that you defeated while the above three conditions were met.

What Xepshunall said. Just an extra info: Ransom is equal 10% of the shipwright price of the the last ship in fleet + 1% to 5% of player gold.

So for example, if you have 2 howkers on a trade route and 3000 gold, then ransom amount is 1000 gold pieces + 1%~5% of 3000 = 1030 to 1150 gold.

guys I am planning about buying trde gallon now...I have enough money but i seriously doubt about the speed of the ship.
Can you tell me these detail:
1.Speed of the ship
2.cost of increasing level

And I am also considering large merchanman.
well the upkeep is low for largemerchantman but the cargo is low compared to trade gallon, but If i can increase the speed of trade gallon as much as a howker with the cotton sails then I shall buy trade gallon itself.

any advice guys?
