I know this doesn't belong in the thread but I thought I would tell my story of how a friend dc'ed in a battle. Ok so I was in my clans teamspeak and 7 of us were planning on joining a small battle, so we did that. The other 6 guys from my clan got placed on one team, and I got placed on the other team with some basic cutters and the AI "Blood" as usual. So I was there in my newly crafted renommee looking over at my friends cannons rolling, and cannonballs flying my way, as I hear a friendly captain in my teamspeak say, that they wont sink me. There I am in the middle of a battle with no reason to fire my cannons, so I figure I'll just tab out and wait for the battle timer to end. Suddenly in my teamspeak I hear that one of my fellow captains who happened to be on the other team disconnected, and I was asked to go capture his ship so he wouldn't lose it, and so I did. Now I was sitting next to him boarding him as I hear the roaring from cannons in the near distance, I turn my view and see my fellow AI "Blood" shooting at the ship I was boarding. Now I turn my view to my boarding session again, and I see that the ship was suddenly set on fire, in my panic I started disengaging, knowing that he couldn't put his ship into survival mode(before the patch). I manage to disengage and just as setting sails the ship goes into fire shock, and blows up right next to me, a millisecond later I blow up as well. When I explained what happened in the teamspeak I heard a lot of laughter, so overall good times.
