I never put a point in grape, but I find that the regular round shot works just fine for clearing the decks. You just have to take an extra moment to aim.

We couldn't find any French ships that could give us a decent fight onboard last night - did take us a while to take down the Blood Scourge, but when we did, we scored THREE Royal Chests. Took home a record booty on my reg'lar frigate. I was a happy captain.

that blood scourge took me down in my war galleon. it was ghost shots, one right after the other! then i was glitched underwater with my ship. i could see my name but not my pirate.

now when i go out i go out with a crew! lol

Also, I don't know about the Navy/EITC ships being so tough anymore.

Last night, soloing, I was taking down the Colossus Flag and other big ships (L30-38, No juggies to be had!) with little to no effort.

It appears the seas south of PDF are just rife with the high level navy and EITC spawn points, but they're much more random about WHEN they spawn now. So camping a known point becomes much more difficult.

I noticed that Nathaniel! Even with a crew on my frigate, Colossus is hard for me to take down, and we were shooting them down last night like light sloops.

I'm glad they move the spawn points around, I wish they could do it so that a spawn was always random as well as the spawn point itself always being random. A good example as to why would be the new ships and quest, I had a harder time getting the spanish cerberus due to three ships camping its spawn point than I did actually defeating it.

I wish they would bring back Juggy. Anyone found him yet?

Hopefully Juggy is being reconfigured as a flag ship, but thats wishing for alot isn't it. ((Drools at the thought of taking on a crew of assassins))

OMG I would love for him to be a flag!!! Colossous is gettin boring.

LOL i KNEw somethin was up with those new skeletons!
xD

I thought they made the Navy/EITC a bit tougher.. Im level 18 with lvl 17 sailing, and could easily solo the mid 20s before last night.. Now I have to be careful..

Me and my friend tottally underestimated the new spanish enemys :P We got owned really quick!
