Didnt recieve Ship after capture with fleet perk

Hello,

in the pvp battle shown below that took place today i captured a Wappen von Hamburg by boarding it. After i put crew on it and told it to sail away, my clanmate told me that he wanted to switch to it in the ongoing battle, so i told it to stop, sailed to it, took the crew away again and sailed away.

My clanmate then told me he couldnt access the ship, i tried to make it available for all, but couldnt do that. I then sailed to the wappen again and tried to take it back myself, but couldnt access it either.

I then reported this as a bug. During the battle, none other got near the ship again and noone captured it again. After the battle was over, neither i myself nor any other member of my nation who participated in the battle got the ship.

I expect the ship back, since i didnt intend to sink it, which it didnt.

Thanks.

@Friedthelt You stopped the ship, took of its crew and as such it couldn't retreat. Once you've taken possesion of a ship you can't switch possesion to another player. If you left the battle and the ship didn't you won't get it with you out.

I told it to stop, not retreat, when taking the crew. I should be able to transfer crew to my captured ships, yes? I couldnt after that. Looks like a bug or at least not intended design to me.

As I understand it you told it to stop - took back the crew after having placed crew on the ship to begin with. Obviously a ship with no crew cannot retreat. If you jumped to open world while the captured ship was unable to retreat you would not get it when you enter OW.

@Bearwall

you are missing my point, i couldnt manage the crew after i took my crew back. i couldnt put crew on it again. i couldnt access the ship.

Arh well that must've been a bug then..

EDIT: unless your men, seeing the wappen is such an ugly bathtub of a ship, refused to board it and you couldn't find a captain desperate enough to sail the prize? ;)

Well gl getting a ship because of a bug, I still haven't received the two tbrigs I lost due to the TP bug.. But I prefer to sail indiamans anyway :)

Sorry for hijacking, but is there an exploit-prevention reason for this? What harm would come from handing off your own AI ships to allied captains, should you choose to mark them as such?

I have no idea, but perhaps it's a matter of item ownership and engine?
