amosblanco Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Dear @Ink I think this is a bug, and I have no way to get out of this situation now. Here is how it happened. I sailed with my privateer today and captured a NPC trader snow near La Anguila (in the shallow area between Cayo del Sal and La Anguila) After exiting from the battle to the open open, however, I found my privater can't move. The ship can turn, but the speed can't go above 0 knot/hour. Because of that I am stuck in the middle of the open sea right now. Here are the screenshoots : As the screenshots show (1) I have set my sail to "full" (2) I am at the position of "broad reach" (3) the privateer is a shallow ship and has no problem sailing in a shallow area, so as the trader snow that I have captured (4) my privateer has 60 crews, and other 13 were being assigned to the trader snow. In a normal circumstances, I shouldn't be stuck here. The only possible explanation for that situation is I met a bug. Here are my guess why it happened: As the topleft of my screenshots show, one of my ships is overloaded. Since my privater is not overloaded, it was that captured trader snow. I clearly have memory that the trader snow has a lot of cargo goods, and since trader snow does not have much cargo space, being overloaded is a likely scenario. However, it might be the scenario that one can not have a overloaded ship under the fleet. Thus, I got stuck. I am happy to privode more screenshots if you need more information to check it out. Since I am not stuck in the middle of nowhere can can't do anything with it, I also ask if you can teleport me back to a friendly port (be it Cayo de Sal or Habana, I am playing Spain) before you investigate. If you know how I can get out of this situation, let me know ASAP. Thx.
Suppenkelle Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 You can open the hold of your fleet ship and destroy enough cargo to get it going again. This is no bug. click „f“ and swipe to right to find your fleet ship. Open hold by clicking on it.
amosblanco Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 The problem solved. I have just figured out how to manage my hold of my fleet ship through that grey slider. Many thanks to @Archer11 for giving instructions. But, from a realistic perspective, fleet ship should be able to at least move even if it's damaged and overloaded isn't it?
