Can't capture ship?

[Hyde]

Hello Pirates,

i encountered a Problem several times now and i figured there must be a logical explanation i don't get.

Sometimes, when i capture a ship i can't assign one of my free officers to become captain on that ship to add that ship to my fleet to sell it or whatever. I had to sink it. I could switch the ships tho.

The only thing i can think of that kind of makes sense to me ( even if not realy ) is that the officer has to have a spezific lvl for each kind of ship or something? I have the skill to have 5 ships in my fleet and i had several decent officers free.

I had a warship and could not get another.
Had a British Brig and could not get another.
Had a corvett but could not capture a war gallion without sinking my corvett.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me on this.

Alright.. the only new thing i found is that i might not have enough crew for both of the ships. I'll check on that next time i cant capture a ship but i... well, i'll see.

thanks so far
