Now Boarding, Party of One....

[Steely Jim]

Yeah, running them around the forecastle of their frigate is a lot of fun. I had a similar experience the one and only time I boarded the Navy Colossus...there high level Officers coming from every part of the ship. While I was trying to figure out why the Navy was sending out ships with all Officers and no crew, I was too distracted to invite dolly out to play, and those mean-spirited Navy-types killed me.

I definitely agree about the higher level crews equating to higher than normal plunder. If I see a higher than normal crew on a ship I've just boarded, then I know I'm going to get some good plunder out of the deal...usually Royal Chests.
