Pirate vs Pirate ai Rewards

[--Privateer--]

I have reported this as a bug using f11 in game, however there has been some debate as to weather it is a bug or an intended mechanic.

The problem is that I never receive battle rewards for Pirate vs Pirate ai battles. The screenshots attached show my pre-battle amount of gold as well as my post-battle amount of gold which are the same, despite the history log showing that I should have received 40+ thousand gold for the battle. This has happened on three occasions now, against pirate ai ships of the line. I have waited over an hour and tried restarting my game however I never receive the battle rewards.

I have asked other pirates to check if they receive rewards from pirate vs pirate ai battles and they have said that they do receive the rewards, but I'm not sure if they just checked the history log or if they checked that the reward was actually received.

All Pirate VS Pirate have no rewards - no xp - no gold. If its a real player Pirate, you can get the ship, but thats it.

Both PVP and PVE pirate vs pirate battles do not provide rewards, this is not a bug
