Treasure sense and other people shooting your targets

[Dr. Zeppers]

I have never attacked another players 'target' trying to steal reps or cargo. I have however done so trying to fulfill quest requirements. If I see a marauder I need on the horizon, and I high tail it there, to find another ship attacking it (seems to show the enemy ships way before it shows the pirate/player ships). Then I will usually take only one or two shots because I want a 'kill' not reps or cargo, just trying to get credit for my quest.

Only other situation I come across regarding this is, I often sail off of PDF, and have watched ships shooting a navy ship for example, I engage a nearby EITC ship, and before sinking thiers, they start shooting at mine.. well i usually take a shot at thiers too... I mean its only fair..

That's me too. The only thing that reallly chaps my..... hide ..... is when I am soloing and away from the helm using cannon and some ..... moron ..... pulls in front of my firing solution so as to purposefully take away my ability to shoot the target. At that point, I will sail up close enough to click on the player and whisper to him/her and ask why. Once I have some conversation, I hit the report function.

I think i'm going to start doing that Racket, I'm tired of the rude behavior when it comes to ships, it leaves me dreading to have to head to sea for a quest.

I don't know if it's just me, but I really don't expect nearly as much from people sailing as I do on land. There aren't tons of ships around, and sailing's slow, so it's not like you can just take two seconds and run to another one if the one nearest to you has already been tagged by another ship.

That said, it's still not good, so I stick to quiet servers in an attempt to avoid it. I've had a bit of trouble even on those (same deal - I'll park and use a cannon and have someone sail right up next to me and block my fire, also, the kids [I assume they're kids] who just sit there in their little light sloop and shoot at me over and over and over and over...).
