Plundered Ships in Transit

[Mugiwara]

really? i didnt know that thanks for information. i tried once but it said you need to remove from fleet or something like that. being noob is troublesome.

the ships are so much slower because they are damaged, almost crewless and also out of fleet and cant be put into a fleet until they dock (which makes them vulnerable to TW too) : that's why (I think) the ridiculous turn cost shows up : its pretty common event over the years and has never been 'fixed' so, one presumes, it is intended or considered harmless by the devs.

If this is the case, then why give the option to "Instant".

PS. CDV, would you please respond to my messages to you. Thank you good sir.

One more caught at the snare.

Edit: Danik is right, we never bothered to fix this as it appears like a nice "rare" event to get. Yes, we do like it, so Wolfie is right too.

Thank you for the response.

Hardly a "nice" event to get. If someone steals a ship with the intent of keeping it, this makes that completely impossible. Having a high value ship out of fleet for a full day right after you stole it means it will be commandeered back - or worse. The only possible thing to do with such ships is to sell them. I don't think that "forcing" players to sell ships that are stolen while sailing is a good idea. Sure, a lot of raiders sell the ships they steal anyway, but this makes it actually compulsory to do so for everyone.

That's why you use a Mindbar! It will provide you with all the protection you need.

If you are a pirate you should be willing to take the risks argg?

I suppose it could also be ravaged too : but that's a consequence of hitting a travelling fleet : in reality, your prize crew had to get it back to port and would never have been able to fight the ship with such a small crew, so it was always vulnerable.

I actually had this same glitch with LordAv's SoTL when I took it. I was forced to sell on the spot.

I can't imagine this happening with an MoW that you wanted to keep. That would s**k.
