I cant launch my ships!

[Captain Dobie]

I am currently having the same problem. I also went to live chat today and the person I talked with initially said that this was not a known problem. I basically told him that he was lying, because I had read about it on here. He quickly changed his tune and said it was a known problem and they were "diligently working on it". If they have been doing that it has been at least 2 months they have been doing that! I had a friend push me from shore and was able to get within firing range of some ships, but they didn't seem to "see" me and would not attack my ship. With the help of a friend I was able to get a flagship over to me, but I was too far away to get a hook into it until it was too late and never did get to board. I will probably try again, because although I can use other pirates, this is the most developed one that I have and don't want to lose all my progress. I appreciate this forum, I probably would have given up and not tired these other things without this information provided here!
