captured ships

[Kaaru62]

when a ships is captured and the battle ends, instead of just sending the ship to an outpost, have it so you have to make it a fleet ship. you also have to send guards and any replacements to the captured ship from your crew. returning a ship to local port allows you to just sell it, but returning to an outpost lets you dismantle it for parts and modules. instead of capturing, give the option to loot the hold (no modules) and then set the ship free (ai or player).

Hmm, agree, sending ships should cost at least 10 members of your crew and the normal amount of money needed to repair it, wich is pretty easy to handle. Greetz, Allons!

So sid meiers pirate fleet alike thingy?

 

Tell me, how would that work when you get attacked? can you choose which ship to send into combat? If your prize gets targeted, can you only stand by and watch? can you participate?

 

EDIT: or is it just a thingy where you lose a few crew members and thats it?

Its an interesting dynamic that could be added in, the current system works for now but would be interesting to see something different like this in the future to add more immersion to this game, there is heaps of potential to make this the greatest Age of sail masterpiece of our time.
