Hello all, I recently purchased the Commodore edition and have been thoroughly enjoying the game. I've been playing the British campaign and have had quite ease with most missions until I get the one mission that requires me to fight the Third Rate. With a fleet of 4+ 40 gun frigates I find it near impossible to even damage the third rate let alone damage its crew enough to capture it (Which I'd love to do). Because the amount of heavy guns the ship has on one side is enough to completely annihilate a single frigate with one volley. Any tips?

I believe there is no more br for the time being. I saw a few posts a few days ago about how people were unable to use captured Third Rates and a developer made a comment saying how they would test the removal of BR so players could use the third rate in the campaigns.
