Countering the invincibility and auto repair

[mlratto]

We crewed 12 people and everytime we got near the opposition we started with grape shot.

just wanna make sure i understand.

so you were on a boat with 12 gunners shooting grape shot?

first, that's awesome you GOT a full crew and i would think the odds would be greatly in your favor for taking out a boat with a single captain.

your solution is awesome for that scenario....and i'm jealous you found it before me

so if i understand correctly, if i was out soloing and found a ship where i could employ this tactic...i would have to get close enough to effectively use grape shot and then take out the captain (assuming he's solo) then sink the ship.

(scratches head)

ya know what... the more i think about the idea...it would be pretty darn piratey cool to roll up on some glitching ship while you were soloing, pull up and stop, and systematically pick off the crew with grape shot...then sink em.

stuff of pirate legend me thinks.
