Ship Battles and Cowardice

[Arioch]

It's a pirates life in SVS and the captain has the responsibility to both ship and crew to keep em safe and get them loot.

Scuttling the ship at the end of play? That is not in the code and if that be your playing method then good luck.

Glitches and people who use them are not only cowards they should be reported and banned by Disney.

For the people who run with high bounties? Chase em down and fire on them so they cannot port with the loot.
If they log out that is cowardice but if they port because you were either to slow to prevent them or sink them then don't blame them get crew with a better aim or invest in faster sailing skills.

Ships do not magically get away you simply fail to catch them and sink them. And I've said it before many a time if you chase a ship to get back your loot because they sunk ya don't brand them as a coward because they sunk you already and unlike you they did not stick around to have the same thing happen to them.

Too many pirates who are level 40 and svs all the time have starting bounties of only 15 - 20 gold and brag about how good they are? If they play that much and their initial bounty is only 20 gold it is a clear indication that they spend more time sinking then staying afloat.
