Nice. Looks like that's buggy as well. I thought it was supposed to "drop" the lesser cargo.

Let's see... If it counts the "best" cargos by gold worth, the total should have been 1960 (w/o bonus) (appr 2450 w/ bonus of 490)
If it counts "best" as Royal > Treasure > Crate: 1930 (w/o bonus) (appr 2412 w/ bonus of 482)

^ That's counting just up to 18 drops (assuming you were on a War Galleon). The first equation leaves out one emerald royal chest since its value is less than the gold bars.

They counted everything... all 18 royals and 5 treasure chests (23 cargo drops).

I also think it's funny that gold bars in a Treasure Chest are worth more than Emeralds in a Royal.
