Update: New abilities, Mastery, Cross-Classing, and Curses
Ships: All (non-pirate) players now have the ability to pilot derelict or captured ships. Two requirements must be met in order to commandeer a ship.
1) These vessels must be unmanned in order to acquire them.
2) The vessel must be of the types: Privateer, Fishing Skiff, Passenger Barge.
AFter a vessel si commandeered, it may be piloted under the command of the new Captain until it is docked, and the captain abandons the dock area. Captured ships may be sold for a profit, but do not fetch as much as a legally acquired ship.
The Outlaw class now has the ability to commandeer two additional ships to those mentioned above. Outlaws may capture Cutters and schooners. The same rules apply to these two vessels, with the exception of the Schooner, which may be crewed. If the Schooner is crewed with non player characters, the Outlaw may leave the ship at Dock without losing it.
Medium and Large shis may now tow a single vessels back to a harbor. No special rig is required to complete this action; While doing so, however they recieve a -2 to speed and take +15% damage from all attacks. The derelict vessel may be manned at the order of the Pirate by Players and NPCs, but may not move during combat. If a towed vessel is destroyed or sunk, there is a 50% chance that ti will capcize the towing vessel.
Once at dock, towed vessels may be repaired at 75% of the full price or sold for a profit.
