Lifeboats when we are sunk

[CeltiCaudillo]

Once we are sunk will have the option to leave the ship with the idea of saving the crew or part of it, and avoid the recent renditions.

You could even save the crew by our allies

Practically to use lifeboats you have first to drop your flag (i.e. surrender) , the surrender of  an enemy ship should be a desirable event, not a "punish" to the victor, and it is a good thing we now having a reason (two in fact with officer "lives") to offer that surrendering as few ships really sunk with all guns blazing withouth striking its colours after putting a good fight.

i think seeing lifeboats and rescuing crew from the water would have a cool immersion element to it

Just ensure that you have (enough) whaleboats with you.
