Captain Jack,

I captured 8 LMM's in Chalkos at about 20:45 on the game clock. I then went to put the ships in fleets and I got the first one in a new fleet and tried to put the next one in and I got the message that I could not put an unavailable ship in a fleet. I then went back to the fleets page to see if they were there or if someone commandeered them out from under my nose. I didn't see them on the first page where newly won ships usually show up. Was I surprised to find that the seven remaining nonfleeted ships were traveling to Chalkos! There is the link to create new fleet message and what happens when you try to add the ships to the fleet, The copied line from my fleet page, and one of the battles. I've never seen this one before...

I guess after the ships sailed back from Davy Jones locker they were good to go. I just fleeted them and sent them on their trade routes as normal. Still Weird though. Unfleeted, ships crewed with 5 men each sailing on a 2 hour tour....

After you plunder a ship, if that ship was travelling, then it will continue its voyage till it reaches the destination port.

The obvious reason you never had this happen before is that it is kind of hard for this case to happen as the usual case is a fleet to be already docked to a port before a player starts losing ships (I guess your target had few gold straight away).

If you feel that this piece of realism is unneeded and adds confusion, we could change this (like making the plundered ship available right away at all times) - personally I am not certain which is better.

Anyone else who feels like taking a position into this, feel free to post your opinion.

(Moved to General Discussion)
