Advanced Piracy - Skirmishes

[Charles Vane]

Are you sure it is not included in Skirmishes already? From what I read it should apply. It makes no exceptions. Should I check it out?

Please.

I skirmished a fleet without 5 cards active then the same players other fleet which was identical "with" the 5 cards active. The plundered cargo was the same as previous.

From what I see, Advanced Piracy works in Skirmishes. If it does not, then we must troubleshoot for a bug.

[Captain Jack]

We issued a fix that probably addresses the issue. Check it out.

Once I am able to get a successful test in I will let you know , thanks CJ

[Charles Vane]

Not sure it has been fixed.

I executed a skirmish "with" advanced piracy active x 5 and earned 9,000gc.

Cargo was Tobacco so base price is 10gc per unit.

Fleet cargo capacity was 450, 450 x 10 = 4,500gc

Plus applied value of cargo as per skirmish rules = 4,500 + 4,500 = 9,000gc

With advanced piracy I should have earned an additional 900gc for a total of ............ 9,900gc. (assuming I am correct in my math)



EDIT:
Although, I am basing this off of the plundered numbers at the bottom of the battle report. I did not monitor actual treasury funds before and after. Perhaps there is a value display issue on the report itself if the correct funds are truly earned?

[Captain Jack]

No, display should always match funds given at this case.
I will have a look soon.

At all cases the bonus is applied on the plunder amount, not the cargo. The plunder value in skirmish is equal to the cargo value. This makes the advanced piracy bonus to be calculated off the cargo value.

Plunder loot = cargo value
AP bonus =Plunder loot = * 0.02 * number of cards
Total Loot = Cargo Value + Plunder loot + AP Bonus

So if the cargo value is 4500, then the income should be 9450 for 5 cards with the extra 450 being paid by the player who lost.
This is the reason that it needs to be calculated off the plunder loot and not from the combined total.

From a quick code inspection, the fix seems fine. We will beta test tomorrow at best so till then, you can carry your own testing. Remember, last hit is that counts.

As for display question, what you see is what you get.

Advanced Piracy never gave an extra bonus before when a fleet gets "Lowe'd". So plus one to the bug detector 'Vane'. That's right, I said "Lowe'd" not skirmish.
