Lowest Rate ship That can Tag a Surprise?


Norfolk nChance

Question

I'm now totally upside down on Rules of Engagement [RoE]. Think the combat forum needs some TLC

OK I tried to tag a Surprise in a Privateer and it wouldn't let me. BR for Privateer is 40 and the Surprise is 140. BR am told are just guides right? 

Or guide me to a guide please

You have to be within 100BR... which is annoying for those of us small ship hunters.   But there is a trick to bypass this.

Take a fleet ship like a trader lynx that is empty or a second privateer and sail around with it.  You can tag up to 160BR without much issue.  

Then tell your NPC ship to leave or demast and dont worry about it.

I believe BR of privateer is 30. 40 must be pickle

 

But i might remember that i was able to tag a surprise with my pickle but not with a privateer,

Call me a moron if you like, but isn't the term Rate Ship is interchangeable with a Line Ship?

I am an Australian after all and we love to butcher the English Language at the best of times.

NB// I've always have called 3rd Rates and above Rate ships, anything smaller, I called them Frigates or Covettes, Brigs etc.
