Primus Palus

That's not what the rule says. It says you can't SINK a friendly. It needs to be changed if that's the case.

Where can I find this without the logo? So I can put it on my desktop.

Per the dev installed rule (which encourages people to grief), you are allowed to shoot them... you just can't sink them. So demasting them like you did is perfectly fine. But as I said, this rule is a HUGE grief problem. People can ram you and break your boarding and sink a ship you're boarding... and there's nothing you can do about it for fear of being banned for "green on green". That's absurd. The rule needs to state that you can NOT grief another player and if you do, you're fair game. Plain and simple. If they attack your prize that you lay claim to, you should get it. A simple fix would be to have a "lay claim" button at the start... whoever clicks on it first gets it. Or, a loot roll function at the end that rolls for the cargo and ship (separate from one another).

This needs an IMMEDIATE edit... there are people using this rule to effectively troll other players by preventing them from capturing their ships (if they lay claim to it). Either institute a roll system for loot and captured ships... or change the rule so that it prevents other people from forcing players away from their prize (if they do it, they get wiped or banned). This rule in its current state is ridiculous... and no, it's not mentioned anywhere in-game nor on the Steam forums. You might want to fix that. As an example here is a scenario: Player A starts a battle. Player B gets pulled into it or joins on their own. Player A states at the start of the battle that he intends to capture ship 1. Player B says nothing to the contrary and makes no claim. Player A gets the crew down and attempts boarding and Player B starts boarding. That prize should go to Player A. Second example: Player A starts a battle. Player B gets pulled into it or joins on their own. Player A states at the start of the battle that he intends to capture ship 1. Player B says nothing to the contrary and makes no claim. Player A gets the crew down and attempts boarding and Player B rams his ship away. Player A tries to reboard and Player B continues to try and get in the way. Player A should be able to have that prize as well. I'm seeing a LOT of griefing in this game because the opposing players know they can't be sunk. It's a joke.
