I thought that CA had said that they had reduced the chance of that happening?

I had a ship explode too and at a significant range also and it was not shot by a galley but a galleon. It was a sloop, which don’t explode so often and it was the first damage the ship had taken.

Galleys have been nerffed considerably over the life of the game and as their firepower is now listed as 0 I guess I am a bit surprised...but it is good they still have some power to them.


It also looked like they may have slightly increased the blast radius of those explosions.

I don’t have any complaints about it, it is just a matter of knowing what to expect.
