Countering the invincibility and auto repair

[Rackat]

I got on a server this afteroon and went to Aviricia to finish part of the Spanish quest. I saw two of the ships on my team glitching. I joined the French side and on a hunch sailed in close and used grape shot. They still sunk me, but I DAMAGED their ship.

I switched sides, then went to the Privateering channel and recruited the other captains and told them I had a way around it (wasn't for sure, but it was worth a try). We crewed 12 people and everytime we got near the opposition we started with grape shot. It WORKED. We took them down while they were repairing and then sunk their cheating....donkeys.

So, if you find a ship glitching (other than the rock glitch), use grape shot first to take out the player, then sink their ....donkey.
