How can you make difference between the elite and none elite? Nothing suggesting it. Only 1-1 ship was. Mine fair enough 410 vs 310. My friend lost with 380 crews against 120 - so Elite can win with 120 crew against 380 so easily? What ratio it would be? My friend starting morale was 96 with rum. Enemy had 80. Are you telling me it's normal the next round he dropped down to 20 morale? Lost 76 morale because of loss in one single round? Enemy went over 95 because of it??? I would call that Darth Vader more than Elite NPC. Even he had books for crew, ship bonus for crew at least lvl 3 and still loose. Interesting question. This was a Ventre NPC vs Armageddon.

Me and my friend lost Rank 3-4 ships due to moral. I understand I waas boarded by 410 crew vs my 310. However add this up what happened with my friend: He had 360 crew, 96 morale. Enemy had 120 crew and 80 morale. Next turn he had morale 20, enemy became unbeatable 95 morale. These are all NPCs, when we tried to mortar down the crew it caused over 5 times more damage to sails and hull then to crew. Previously same ship we could manage to capture. Now even a Brig can overtake a full L'Ocean??? Why is this change? Is it fair play and realistic with your 3 times bigger unit number losing because of morale? Please let us have all these boosts, he went with rum and books against and still lost it...

This is really annoying! If we knew this with my friend don't even try boarding in PVE! Now both of us lost Rank 3-4 ships! I understand mine as 310 vs 410 crew is reasonable. However what we don't understand and take it as CHEATing! My friend had 320-380 crew and went against a crew of 120. The NPC took his ship and went away. All NPC are only worth to shoot to loot? Why not possible boarding a La Gross Ventre with Agamemnon? Is this a joke? You attack NPCs and first shoot 84 morale drop to 47, 2nd round under 20 morale. 4th round if you lucky ends on 1 morale! I wasn't so lucky straight to 0. This is inapropriate and unethical. I understand you need the money and the more money devs, but this is gonna whip lash back on you. The more people realising it's not worth to board as you can have 15000 crew, and still lose to 100 then it's really something ... Just because of the moral system, I regularly lost 22 units while could kill only 7. You allowing all perks and bonuses to NPCs, but we can't have it as players. Where is the fair play in it? Ps: please don't come with the shoot the crew down as the mortar will first shoot the hull apart and have less crew damage. I enjoyed shooting the mortar from my ship and 22 sails, 10 hull and 2 crew death caused by it. When you fully pushed out the mortar ammos from 32 guns...
