Boarding Ships

Ahoy Matey's Is it possible to order the other ships in your fleet to board and ransack other ships <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />:
 
I dont think you can. You can only send crews of your other ships to attack forts if you have the ablity but Ive never really seen it do anything except watching my friendly ship sail around the fort. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />
 
Why can't we order our 2nd and/or 3rd ship(s) to board enemy ship ??? The same goes to why we can't use the ability of our captains like : `pre-loading` guns , instant boarding and the other special abilities if I had activated them in my captain ability list ?? Then what the use of it if I can't use it in battles ?? This is sucks ... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_twisted.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":twisted:" border="0" alt="icon_twisted.gif" />
 
Ahoy Pirate Sam,I'd believe abilities ye assign yer officers does make a diffrence when ye assigns dem as a Captain,ye get a better respond'n second ship,as fer dem board'n ye needs tew be in first person view ,ye can give dem orders through de interface,but I usualy Sail alone,better tew get things done right yerself,Har! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
ok skull I got it but still we can't give them orders based on them availble abilities !! I wish if we can use those special abilities for our officers in the next build/mod if it comes out <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> ,
 
I think we can make another special abilities <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
 
How about de K key fer kill them all <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Capt. Morgan,

I haven't tried it yet but I think you can order another one of your ships to attakc a for fort or baord antother ship.

If you have the landing party ability:

In battle hit return, then give order (the flag), then use abilty, then landing party then the ship you want boarded I am going to try it in my next battle and I will let you know.
 
Slight correction: the sequence is give order, then selct the ship you want to give the order, then the use ability, landing party and then the targetr.

Sorry. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Good tip, Jason! I'll be using it this very evening! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Well, Mad Jack, I am sorry to report the landing party ability does not board ships. It does permit you to send a party from another ship to attack a fort.

The effect on the fort if the crew is large enough and skilled enough si to capture the fort much faster.
 
Aye, I found that out the hard way. No worries, mate. I'll fall back to me normal tactic of plundering the prizes meself and trnasferring the goods to me support ships. It can get a bit dicey in the heat of battle, but one has to get the blood flowing somehow, eh?

It can be time comsuming, but patience is the only virtue I have left. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
Jason, Thanks for the idea, I see that you've tried it with no luck. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> The idea sounded promising. It's nice to have this forum for us that are new to the game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> Thanks to all!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
By the way I have notice that boarding issue is only happening when you are involved . I mean either it is you are boarding other ship or one of the enemy ship(s) may board yours so why when you are whatching a sea battle between nations ships ( say fance vs england ) you don't see boarding action . Aren't they intrested in in boarding and captureing other ship or it is the game setup doesn't allowed it ??
 
Aye Mate,board'n is triggerd by warp'n tew the enemy ship,much the same as fast travel werks,the main character triggers it <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
