Just wondering as to what sticky situations people have gotten themselves into.
This is my closest call.
I am sailing a light frigate and am battling of the coast of Redmond with a Battleship and Lineship. The battle looked to go in my favor but in the first volley from the Battleship my main mast gets shot clear off.
I was like "shit" because now Im moving at about .03 or .3 and I am within range of both ships. Like were in the shape of a V. I am the point at the bottom. The Battleship is top left, and the Lineship is top right. Anyways Ive got bombs and I am trading volleys with the battleship while the lineship is sailing at an angle trying to accomplish, well whatever the hell the AI is always trying to do lol. Anyways at one point the Battleship starts sailing back at me so I think I might have a chance to board, but then it veers off and shoots off my other masts. I got incredibly lucky tho and was able to sink it before i could sink me. I had no masts left but it stayed in my range. Then I was able to super slowly slowly turn and fire off volleys at the Lineship which was sailing away from me now, and I just kept firing volleys until I got far enough out of range to be able to quicksale. So I used quicksale to get to redmond port. WHen I arrived the logs informed me that it took me exactly 286228 hours to reach the port. :-D
Talk about drifting. meh. lol.
