ship stealing??

[searage]

well you used to be able to jump off your ship and swim to a navy ship, climb aboard and run around sailing it. but you couldn't put it in a bottle, so it was only yours until you got bored.

to reproduce this now, yes you would just have to swim all the way out to a ship. you can no longer just jump off the edge of your own ship.

climb aboard and run around sailing it.

I didn't think of that. I was thinking taking ownership and keeping it for yourself.

If you're sailing a navy ship around, I wonder when someone attacks it if you can fight back (assuming the guards are dead) or if you have to be in PVP before you can do damage to the attacking ship.

I stole a ship once! I was working cannon on someones ship and they wanted to swap out, so once they set sail I took over sailing and...they both(the two crewmates) bailed on me! But I still had his ship so I took it out for a little spin! Muahahaha!

Ok so i'm guessing there's no way to stealing and recieve ownership, which is ok i guess maybe something the developers can add later.

You can't swim all the way out to it. As you try to swim out of the harbor it tells you you cannot swim in deep seas.

Yes, you can. It says that, but keep on swimming, you WILL get there. I have!
