On another note, what are peoples thought regarding surrendering? The way i was thinking of having it is you start the battle in your cabin with their captain, and you can theres a chance to get them to tell you what they are carrying, and a random chance effected by your reputation and other things as to whether they surrender. If they surrender you get the manifest without a fight. Important notes:
- Imperial Navy will never surrender.
- Whether they are likely to surrender is effected by what they are carrying, ie fishermen will surrender easy, but a merchant with an expensive loot is less likely to surrender.
- IN the cabin if you are up against enemy pirates, and neither of you have cargo you can agree to go your seperate ways, no point fighting over nothing
or you could fight them anyway if you like.
