Farrago Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I submitted an F11 when this happened but I wanted to make sure this was indeed a glitch and not what was supposed to happen... Last night (North American time) I attached a player who was sailing an Indiaman with a 3 Indiaman fleet. He fled but was forced to abandon 1 of his fleet ships so it immediately dropped sail and "surrendered". It took me some minutes to work upwind to inspect. When I tried to transfer crew, I got the message that I can not capture a NPC ship. I do have Fleet 1 perk and i was sailing alone. About that time the surrendered ship put up a few sails and started slowly moving. A caught up to him, again got the "X" but the same message about unable to capture. Needless to say there wasn't enough room on my Indefat to take much of the Indiaman cargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Sounds like a problem with AI capture of 4th and above (being you can't do it) Pretty silly logic, I can cap a heavy frigate Trinc but not a heavy frigate consti... for what reason? I could be wrong, just a bug but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreides Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The Indiaman was reclassified as a 5th rate ship in some recent patch, so this is indeed some weird bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They were listed as 5th rates when I saw them in OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
