mouse of war Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 On 16th Feb at about 22:10 (while I was capping a contraband trader) Airilan White (a fellow brit from his flag) joined the battle and demasted and captured my ship - how is this possible???? Is he now a pirate???
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 If this was on PvP1, then yes, he is now a pirate. I'm heartily sorry he chose you as his victim.
admin Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 He is a pirate It is a system glitch that does not switch the contraband trader flag in battle - so everyone who joins on the contraband trader side gets his flag (brit flag) - his name is red and he is on the opposite side in tab. But yes could be confusing initially.
Prater Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 If this was on PvP1, then yes, he is now a pirate. I'm heartily sorry he chose you as his victim. Actually, from what I can tell, what happened was Mouse attacked a Contraband Traders vessel. Airilan was an enemy. He joined on the side of the Pirates. Contraband Traders carry their national flag and not the pirate flag, even though they are technically on the pirate side. So Airilan was given a British flag because he joined the pirate side. Or, what admin said
mouse of war Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) I suppose that it's valid enough that a pirate would be sailing under a false flag - but my 50k bounty on Airilan still stands for the first Brit who can show me a screen shot of his lifeless corpse, captured ship in the boarding screen Edited February 17, 2016 by mouse of war 3
