I do have one question. How did you get so many close ups of that Colossus without it firing?

Well... one of them neat camera tricks

Actually - I took a light sloop and sailed out to come up behind the Colossus... then just before he "sees" me I hit Ramming Speed and run right into his back... then because the Light Sloop sails faster than the War Gal I had to steer the same direction as he would (cause he was not happy I was stuck on his behind like that) for about 1/2 an hour...

Then once I had the 'Head Shots" - I actually sails up beside the opposite side of the ship (so you couldn't see it) then take the side shots (and yes - once you do this - he gets to shoot at you... luckily the Light Sloop is so small that "most" of his shots miss you... giving you about 5 rounds of shots before you sink).

Finally I just lined him up and stopped... dead as it were Because he would keep sailing he would sail "right by the camera" giving me the by-pass shot I wanted (but then my final demise would soon happen...)

And that is how one gets an Enemy NPC ship to "pose" for you
