Midshipman Mission Problem

[Azure Tempest]

Hello

I'm reporting a problem with the current Midshipman missions.

The first few missions were easy to complete, my Basic Cutter vs Lynx.

However I've been sunk 7 times in a row now, because for some reason the Midshipman missions started to spawn unreasonable matchups.

My Basic Cutter with Medium Cannons VS;

Brig

Privateer

Cutter + Privateer

2x Privateer

Rattlesnake

Even with my Double shot, Charged shot, and Magazine mod, I was still no match in my Basic Cutter.

And I have no other way to make Gold in the game for anything.

I'm a returning Rear Admiral ranked player, after the great server wipe, and I'm very annoyed at this progression block.

 

The Second problem I noticed is the "Fire bug".

For some reason I catch fire very easily, putting into consideration the 0.1 increase in fire chance from the Magazine mod.

Catching fire wasn't the problem, the fact that it doesn't go out is.

I tried putting survival on and off, and tried all the repair options while sailing away from my enemy for 8 minutes, and no help.

The fact that it occupies about 1/4 of my crew and doesn't go out is a major bug, I noticed this fire debuff also contributes to my crew shock chances (maybe).

 

My in game name is Dragonheart86, and I do not appreciate the hours of time wasted, sinking to this flawed system.

Someone please help.
