The enemy ships approach, but don't attack much, until someone takes the helm and leaves port.

I really despise folks that do this.. sorry.
Seems like they are always bringing those ships your talking about upon my ship when im launching, and causing me immediate damage. They also gripe at you the time if you sink the ship they were being lazy with. Unfortunately most are not doing it for the reasons you state either, most are doing it to quickly fill thier holds and port without having to sail at all.

I play the entire game with mouse, other than using Fkeys to select weapons (half the time), number keys for skills, and T for tonic. People often ask me how my pirate says AFK yet im still battling. Its because I havent had to touch the keyboard for hours.

How do you make your pirate run, using only the mouse?

My mouse has a few extra buttons other than normal.

2 are set special. 1 is R for run, another is SHIFT to open doors, etc.
Although my mouse emulates these keys, the game doesnt recognize my use of them as being on the keyboard apparently.
