Boarding Party - New Combat and Plunder System

[Shadowood]

I see your point Maha, as in a fleet of Cutters would have a hard time taking down a fleet of LMM's due to crew size.

I would challenge back that plundering ships should not be as easy of a task as it is now. That is why I made this suggestion.

If a new player wanted to plunder some LMM's, under this proposed structure, they would need some Sloop of War with some Grape Shot. Or they would need to build a few Frigates.

This also, adds some protection for Merchants as they can still be attacked by Cutters, just not Plundered as easy by cutters.

This idea is to hopefully get larger ships out sailing again but add some interesting battle tactics.

My daddy always told me too... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Just tossing out an idea

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I think making ship plundering harder would be very negative for the game. And since that would be the effect, perhaps even the intention, of this suggestion, I think it is a bad idea.

The current plunder and sink chance values will still apply. However, once the ship(s) are ready to be plundered (10% of ships base build value is greater than purse on hand) this will trigger a “Boarding Party”."

Who's ship(s)?

Boarder or Defender?
