"Long range boarding" perk

[simenandreas91]

Hi!

I love the mod so far - it's awesome!
So, I have been trying to get the "Long range boarding" perk for a while but I can't seem to get it.
I have understood that you have you have talk to a captain that is surrendering after a successful boarding.
I have read that you got to pick the "Let's be civilized about.." option, but I can't seem to get what I need to get the perk. I feel like I have tried every option available after the boarding.
Can someone please explain the exact step to get it?
Much appreciated!
Thanks.

After "Let's be civilized", you should go to another stage of dialog, where one of your choices should be "What can you offer me besides gold?"

The captain should then say "Well, I can teach you some tricks, perhaps. What do you want to learn?" Your choices then, depending on which perks are still locked, can be:
"I would like to learn how to turn my ship quickly." (Unlocks Club Hauling)
"I would like to learn how to reload my cannons faster." (Unlocks Pre-reloading)
"I would like to learn how to board ships more easily." (Unlocks Long Range Boarding)

Alternatively, edit "PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h". Find this line:

#define    ALLOW_LOCKED_PERKS                1        // BOOL     - Default = 1, If 1 perks can be locked. If 0 no perks can be locked.

Change the 1 to 0. Never worry about locked perks again!

Can't seem to find the let's be civilized dialog when I boarded them

Edit: I found it, but I can't find the dialogue for What can you offer besides gold?

If you've found the answer "Let's be civilised about this, Mister", your next set of answers should include:
"We can avoid unnecessary bloodshed if you voluntarily give me XXXX gold, while your crew lay down their arms."
"Do you want to live, Captain? Join me as one of my officers."

If this isn't a quest captain, and if any of the perks "Club Hauling", "Long Range Boarding" or "Pre-reloading" are still locked, there should also be the option:
"What can you offer me besides gold?"

Some special captains won't allow that option, typically captains of enemy ships in quests. You must sink or capture the ship to complete the quest. Offering to release the captain in exchange for unlocking a perk will break the quest.

And, of course, if you've already unlocked all three of these perks, or if you've disabled locked perks in "InternalSettings.h", then you can't ask the captain to unlock them!
