Capsized by a Pickle

Recommended Posts

So I went to ram a pickle, realised I wasn't gonna sink it so I tried to slow down and turn away but obviously it was a lot faster at turning. It kept turning into me and I eventually ended up on top of it and couldnt do anything to get off of it. My ship then preceded to sail forward over the ship (even though it was completely out of the water!) and then capsized. 

 

I seem to also have lost 1 dura on both my cutters in my fleet when I died even though they survived the battle.

I know its early access but would I be able to get a full dura Niagara back as I was trying hard to keep it at 5 xD

 

Video is recorded from a friends view. I am the Niagara at the back riding the Pickle. There is swearing in the video btw....

 

Mounting starts around 2m 10s

Why would you not ram a pickle if its in your way?

 

Because you'll knock a hole or two in your bow, lose armor you'll need for the fight, and then have to go into survival mode for a number of minutes until the leaks are fixed and the flooding goes down, reducing your ability to fight.  And in all likelihood, the pickle will not be sunk.  Instead, veer a little towards the Pickle's stern, let him pass by you, and then rake him as you go by with your 32lb carronades, making for an extremely bad day on his part and sail away smiling like a boss.

I'm not that serious about the game, Something is in my way, I'll ram it :D

So yea, just happened again, I'm next to a Trader Snow trying to turn away from it but it is also right next to me turning into me and somehow i picks me up (Its a taller ship than the Niagara) and capsizes me again. Like, I dont have this problem with the Navy Brig or Mercury. Maybe a bug with the Niagara itself or a bug with AI just wanting to turn a certain direction without caring what is in the way????
