Board your ship, have a freind bring u a flag ship, get it ready to board then
board the flag, stand there and let them send u to jail, your ship will then sink. you will be in jail. when u get out of jail ur ship should be freed up. good luck on this one. there are tons out there, looks like a battlefield. Just hope this helps u all. It worked for my freind and i.

TY - nabbed a passing colosuss & had a pal push me into grapple range. Much to my dismay, it was 7 lvl 10's (when is it EVER level 10's?LOL) so took awhile to ummm, surrender to them. But when i woke up from jail ship was full green health bar and no yellow bar. Could repair and everything was unlocked.

Had been in "dry dock" for over 24 hours, and when i tried talking to "live chat" was told they were working on it. Also said they did not know cause.

Informal poll in game showed that it happened to ppl who had opened boat to public then closed it while still sailing. But Live Chat would not confirm that.

Fair Winds all...

I did something similar and it worked like a dream. You would think that the technicians would be able to tell you how to accomplish this by now. It would seem like they would monitor this site as well and be able to advise people who ask. I had a friend attract (but not damage as it is important that I be able to grapple) a skeleton flagship. Once I was able to board the ship, I just stood and waited and in no time they sent me to jail. Once out, I went and repaired and boarded the ship and it worked just fine!

opening the ship to public has no good results.

You do not get crew bonus

You do not get loot bonus

all you get is gaming issues... so why do it? if someone uses public to get on your ship and has a 10 year old lap top then quite frankly you are all gonna sink as the ship will lag to a standstill and most likely if you are lucky you will get booted.

You should get crew bonus, if you crew those on your ship, it does require a few extra steps, but crew bonus is always helpful.
You should get the captains bonus if its your ship, are you sure that they dont?

It is definately a random way of getting a crew, but sometimes can make for quite an interesting and fun experience as long as you accept the possible downsides.

Today on test in all the release notes there is alot on the issues with ships stuck, taking wheel etc. Soon as this gets out hopefully this will all be fixed.
