Boarding ships?

[yankeefan05]

boarding ships in the demo seemed kinda useless since you lost your current ship and the crew. Plus the ship you boarded cant do anything.

Well it is mostly pointlss in the demo, but in the actual game it will be a great way of stealing ships and technology .

As is said above…Ships which strike their colors and surrender should belong to the winner of the battle, even if they are not boarded in battle.

I surely hope that that is the convention. Otherwise you need to sink everything to prevent the enemy from regaining it…

Agreed. It's not like you would give surrendered ships back to the enemy if you were in a bitter war for naval supremacy. The crews maybe, but not the actual ships.

Can you really steal (naval) technology by boarding ships?!

[A Very Super Market]

Uh.... yes.

CA said so.

[Sir Beane]

Can you really steal (naval) technology by boarding ships?!

Yep, very definitely in the game .

If the ship is equipped with advanced technology you do not have…you learn it from the ship.

So don’t loose your steam powered or rocket ships!

I hope we can scuttle ships rather than have them fall into enemy hands. I want my technology to stay with me and my allies!

Looks like friendly fire now has a use!
