"how to" with ships

[ASuperStitch]

I too am stuck on this task and rapidly loosing interest. In a week of sailing I have managed to find one EITC Flag ship and be the "one" that fires the final shot that disables the ship.

Yes, as I have been told by players that seem to be more experienced than myself at this game, you must be the one that fires the final shot that disables the ship. If you are fortunate enough to do that then you should get the rings and the grapples will hold and you can board.

Then you can die against the three or four level 20 and 30 something grunts.

As I said I only have been able to find one flag ship to beat and board and I was alone sp you can imagine how long I lasted.
