Surrendering

[Capt Jubal Early]

Apologies if this has been covered before.

Surrendering in a battle in its current form is pretty lack luster.
It would be interesting to see this developed further into a system that would allow captains that are caught short the ability to bargain for there life at the mercy of there pursuer.
I'm suggesting a system something like this.  A surrendering captain and the aggressor captain are put into a trade screen after the surrender has happened in battle, where they can barter items or money etc for the chance of being let free and thus saving their beloved ship. Captains cant leave the screen until either a agreement is reached or the aggressor captain decides to continue with the fight.

Thoughts?

The surrender mechanic is currently "orphaned".  The original reason it was created was deprecated with some earlier mechanic changes.  We're hopeful the implementation of officers, and MAYBE crew xp down the road might return a reason for you to fire a couple of broadsides and then surrender rather than just fighting it out to the death.

Tally ho. I hope this is the case dear sir.
