Good Haul, Poor Guy!

Came across a lone trader snow very close to port XXXXX.  Attacked and began pursuit. Offered the chap 10% of sold loot if he surrendered, he offered me 75K and 10 gold coins to let him go . I'd most probably never have seen it had I complied. I would have at least honored my terms.

Knew by his offer and the fact he put up a fight that he must have been carrying 'something' of value. Didn't expect THAT!

Nice loot but using random fire? Lol

MMh yes lol. I was too drunk to notice.

 

Anyone sailing a captured, basic trading vessel is asking to be captured. To do that without an escort, with a hold like that...?

Ugh.

Indeed Sir. For the price of his booty he could have paid a small fee for a player escort. Only himself to blame but I still have a little twinge of sympathy :D TO be captured so close to port as well. Ouch!

I've seen vessels with a lot cheaper cargo go with a lot heavier escorts, which can actually be a really fun dynamic. A few days ago, a trader's snow was hauling some misc. goods with a 3rd rate escort, and ran into a US wolf pack.

Had the heavier ships take out the 3rd while the lighter ones chased down the trader's snow.

Frankly, I hope to see more escorted vessels and more hunter-killer groups as everything becomes more and more player driven.

Vicious - Surely you don't feel every thread needs to be about you?
