Other pictures of the swim including boarding a monarch, an ironwall, and another pirates ship (apparently i was invisible to them, but I could take control of thier ship if i'd wanted.. i didnt) can be found here: http://pirates.teamofx.us/ss/zeps_swim

FYI, my ship glitched, when I docked it. Left someone on board, that I could teleport back to. When I did this although I could not move my ship, we could fire cannons, and my ship was invincible, nothing could sink it. Its a War Galleon, so I used the swimming glitch, and was able to do the above screens while I went for a swim.

Nice, the Phantoms have bandits, huh? I boarded a Storm Reaper last night and a L31 Raider had the wheel on that one. Then it was nade, nade, nade... No more captain. Nice shots, I still have been unable to control the cannons.

Loot Hard!

Seriously cool...how do you do that? I really want to do that, and maybe I won't be so bored.

Using the swimming glitch, I had to keep swimming into the path of the ships.

It seems to 'anchor' you to your ship (the one you jumped off of), so its hard to 'stay' on the ship, so most screens were taken very quickly before I was thrown off again.

In the case of the Cannon, I had noticed the green circles as I swept across the ships deck. I hit shift.. and walla... shooting cannons.

I boarded an Ironwall, and a Monarch as well, but it wouldnt let me use thier cannons.

I boarded another players ship and noticed the following:
A. It still said I was on my ship in the HUD

B. It let me take the helm/wheel (i immediately hit ESC not wanting to freak anyone out) which is funny, because I couldnt on my own ship that I was 'tied to'.

C. I could shoot thier cannons, helped them sink a ship, but they could not see or hear me. I do think they were freaking on the ghost cannon though! They landed immediately when they noticed, which sent me to black screen.

I have more screenshots, but they were pretty ordinary looking.

You didn't actually sail the ship, even though you could've? :O

I wouldn't have cared if I freaked anyone out lol.

Sometimes the wheel is available, sometimes they are not. Same with the cannons. I have yet to figure out when each is available, or what sequence makes it available. I just have been unable to do either on the pirate ships yet.

Other Player ships are easy to take over, but just rude, without their approval. We normally announce "Permission to board _______". They are normally so confused, when you ask if you can take the wheel, they say "Sure, but why are you flying?" or something along those lines.

Yeah, Ive been able to board enemy ships but cant for the life of me take the wheel. Even after nadin the capt, it wont let me....then the Capt respawns again. Same with the cannons. Never have been able to.

lol this is funny brigands have a bad case of scolosis O_o

[The Gunhawk]

I have to say it would be funny if when you swam at one of the ships it fired cannons on you like you were in a ship.
