A few things you may need to fix... I am fairly certain that the Century Hawk uses explosives SOMEWHERE. Not sure if its broadsides or decks, though. You may need to look into that, but I may be wrong. You probably know more than I do.
Little detail, but it is actually any ship of the same faction. As in, a shooting a Navy ship will have another Navy ship come after you. Shoot at EITC, you'll get EITC, etc. And it triggers the NEAREST to come and attack you. You probably implied that, just thought it would be good to add that in.
Otherwise, great guide!

The Century Hawk does not use Explosives. I know because I would have hated the Century Hawk if it did. Also, from my experience, it's been two of the same ships engaging to me. Although the Corsair has always been the weird one who engages a Warlord along with it. But I guess you could be right too!

I've noticed that too. I always sink Skeleton ships only and then get max Royals, and I trigger SOTS and jump to Rank 3. But I've had cases where I can get 6 royals, 7 royals, 5 royals, and each time they'll still trigger it, so I'm not sure if it's exactly to do with the Royal Chest count. But thanks for the tips!
