Bugs experienced when combat-testing new trader-lynx/cutter

[Styles]

Tried to gather some feedback for the new low-tier trading vessels, but didn´t have a fight without problems.

I have filled ingame reports, but i´m not sure what could have caused the main issue (could be vessel or grape-related, or a simple calc-error)

I´m posting here aswell, so the more experienced testers see this and can do a bit more research if they like to.

 

Main problem i had: Crew kill-numbers are bugged.

In a 30 min fight basic lynx vs a trader-cutter (took my time, as i also wanted to see how grape works now), i somehow managed to kill 677(!) of his crew-members.

Brought his armor down to 50% first, then graped him to 0 crew. Took him 2-3 min (while still sailing normally) to pop a repair. It was the only repair i´m aware of and he got back up to 8 crew + 80-90% armor. Graped him again down to 1 without worrying about armor, reloaded doubles and sank him.

 

Next fight was vs a trader-lynx (like the cutter manned with 19 crew). Again, reduced his armor (20% roughly), then graped to 0 crew. He instantly popped the repair when reaching 0. Graped him while the repair was ticking (3-4 volleys), but sank him quickly with doubles after - leaving him on 1 as he went down. Result: killed 11 crew. Should be slightly more i guess?

 

I´m not sure how injuries are taken into account, so i could be wrong on this one - but more than 600 killed on the cutter is...well...flawed? xp was correctly calculated for 677 crew-kills btw

 

The trader-lynx also had a sailing-bug. He was roughly pointed at broad reach on full sails, making 4kn. (sry if sailing terms are mixed up..newb here) I was alongside him, same speed with "dead slow".

Thank you for your reports.

AI sails "perfectly ", so it's very possible he was in depower mode to be sailing at that speed. It may not be a bug.
