Aye!
A further note to my below post, Crimson bought to my attention my oversight...
When Sailing, I normally appoint pirates as Second and Third Navigators just in case of DC, these pirates will standby on usually the 2 Cannons closest or Repair Slots closest the Wheel and in the event of a DC they rush to the wheel and assume command.
Usually these pirates I select are Higher Level and more than capable of handling Bounty Hunters and Warships, their duties are to simply keep the ship afloat while I log back on and return to the ship. Obviously this is why some of my friends are almost never in a Second or Third Navigators position, as I prefer to continue the run until it's predesignated end, rather than rushing to Port.
