Navy firing back?

You know, if we have to use grappling hooks, I think they should too. No more of this walk-through-mid-air-to-board-my-ship ****.

Actually I was attacked, somehow, when fighting some of the undead ships near Cuba. I noticed my health was almost nothing, but I never saw any canons fire or anyone even on their ship. I'm not sure how I was hurt.

I'm a level 12 on the cannons, and I've been fired upon exactly once. It was really neat graphics, with the gun ports opening, the cannons sliding forward and firimg, then recoiling and the ports closing. I beleive it was a level 14 Navy ship, but I can't be certain.

Yeah, I have been fired on before, recently. But they usually missed cause I didn't incur any damage. Majority of the times, they do not fire back, for me.

sometimes that Warship near Port Royal shoots at me. or a Navy ship with Pirate flag above it (what is that?)

I've just been fired upon for the 2nd time. The ship was a Navy Vanguard, level 14. Another thing I've realized is that the ships that fire at you are the only ones that put out the pulsating green circles you can fire your grappling hooks through in order to board.

Well, theyre firing back now! You definitely need a crew it seems. Compared to what weve been used to it's crazy to be out at sea any more. Im always up for a challenge, but gosh!

This post eloquently describes (almost exactly) my experience with sailing since the latest build release (1.0.7.0)
