Boarding

So reading through the patch notes, it appears that the AI can now get boarding tools.  In the mission that gets unlocked if you capture the 3rd rate Arrogante, I was trying to capture another 3rd rate.  I had started with 2 6th rates with boarding tools, and eventually brought in a 5th rate with boarding tools.  I started boarding around 1400 game time, and the boarding went on for quite some time (screenshots), even spanning to the next in game day.  12+ hours of in game time to board a ship seems excessive, even the max speed setting.

Second, I am of the opinion that if I transfer men to capture a ship, that either I get the men back after the completion (as if transferring back after sailing to port and being sent to the manpower pool); OR the men remain with the captured ship.  Right now it appears to do neither, which makes leveling the crew up irritating.  The current workaround that I have for this is to board a ship, but not transfer manpower.  This results in no lost men.

This is a bug which makes it impossible to end the mission. You can report by pressing f11 or using the report button in the top left.

It is still possible to disengage the enemy ship (press disengage and immediately start sailing perpendicular to him). Once you do this, you will need to sink her as boarding her will result in the same bug.
