It is my understanding that currently "killing crew" is frowned upon but has been discussed as a potential future game mechanic.

My question comes from plundering ships. When I recieve a ship it has 99% damage and the crew is all missing but 5. At what point does the crew get killed in the plunder process? Is it damaged based or just they got scared I was taken the ship so they jumped overboard?

Why are people against killing crew when it is "currently" an existing game mechanic?

@Captain Jack. I hope you can shed some light on this subject

Shadow does have a point, what's a ship battle with out any casualties?

Interesting this Will follow!
