aw.....so much to add where to begin..

The most dastardly deed a pirate can do in SVS is to let his ship and all aboard SINK.

with that being said glitches and logging are not honorable.

A war sloop by Disney definition is a HIT and RUN war ship.

For a captain sailing solo on a war sloop it is not cowardly to use hit and run tactics as it deals a blow to the enemy and you live to fight another day.

If those same ships that are running were such cowards? then how on earth did they get such a large bounty? The bounty is proportionately as large as the damage they inflicted on other ships.

If another crew nearly sinks a ship with large bounty and you fire the last shot sure you get credit for the sinking but do you get ALL the bounty??? Why of course not the total bounty is distributed to all the ships who damaged her.

Now people tend to give lots of grief to those ships who excel in the art of hit and run tactics because they tend to hold onto their loot for long periods of time.

And here is where people have different opinions, I mean exactly that once the loot is exchanged and it is their bounty the captain of that particular ship has FULL discretion as to what he intends to do with it.
Continue to fight, go AFK to eat dinner or go to nearest port of call land his ship and bury his loot so that no one will ever see it again.

Pirates bury treasure it is in their nature and part of the code. If you are chasing a ship and you think they are going to port simply hit them with a shot from your cannon and they will not be able to port for another 30 seconds.

If you intend to chase pirates then use a fast ship good gunners and invest in speed skills.

But most importantly these coward ships would never ever have any of YOUR loot in the first place if YOUR particular captain had not sunk in the first place.

The captains (any captain) first priority is to ship and crew and I wish Disney would make replacing ships that are sunk more expensive then maybe people would tend to place more importance on not sinking.

Sinking is LOSING no matter how you spin it.
