Can it be made so that once you capture a ship you can 'scuttle ship' to end
your 'fighting' flag? Make it use some cannon balls (realistically the gun
powder for shooting those balls). Basically it sucks taking a fighting flag
penalty when the enemy is dead and was just tryin to come up with a nautically
way of doing so!
Thanks!

Not to mention this would be hell of a satisfying way to finish. I have been
wanting something like this since naval battle began to evolve. On a side
note, it would be a nice touch if pirates had the ability to blast the
disabled ship to bits before capture, perhaps for a tad extra rep, leaving no
survivors. Navymen would not have that option due to having to abide by rules
of engagement. Navy would still have to capture the ship first. Just a
thought for a fun way for pirates to take out ships they may not be able to
solo and give them a bit more incentive to go after bigger kills...

Well not sure what you mean here, but if this would give the Pirate the
ability to kill all the crew on the ship, then that's a horribly over-powered
ability. As it is now, its kinda a huge pain in the ass with quick silver
golems for pirates to start killing your crew, and only the most
determined/asshole do it.

Just to clarify:
Pirates aren't interested in your pitiful crew. They just want to sink you for
the glory and reputation and then plunder your ship stash. Killing crew is
more related to some asshole actions for example against poor secured ships
ships with gangway down and shouldn't be mixed with Pirates, pirating or naval
battles.

Killing golem is just a nuisance on the way to your captains cabin... not to
your crew in this case.

I was speaking in terms of the npc compass ships... I suppose I should have
made that more clear.
