Ergent Help

[oldsalty]

Someone described a stalking method for hunting ships, this is what I started with. Get behind a ship, turn your broadside on them and fire into their aft. Turn your ship and fire the other side. You might have to raise your sail so you do not over run them. They rarely are able to come around on your ship to fire.

Grape shot will work on the crew member on deck of a flagship, so will regular cannon balls. Grapple first and then blast away. It seems that enemy ships do not fire on your ship after the grapple is secured.
