Harbour Destroying Ships (Bug)

I captured 1 pirate ship just outside of Port Royal, as we sailed towards Port Royal the harbour guns began to fire at us, i took a moment to check around me to see if it was me they was shooting at or if there was any pirate ships near bye.

I then noticed this.

Yes the ship i captured is still flying the pirate flag, i'm flying the English flag. This is obviously a bug, this could end up been fixed via an offical patch but i just thourght i would point out why you are having your ships been destroyed.
 
I know in PotC the flags on the ships would update only after a reload (eg. to shore or worldmap). However, the nation relations would NOT be messed up.
So in PotC at least, the problem you mention occurs too, but there it is a graphical issue only. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
From the sounds of it, I'd say a reload here would also fix it, because captured ships don't change their flag to match yours until you reload to a new area.

Hm, I once captured a ship near a fort (in fact I first allowed the fort to soften up said ship a bit) and I'm pretty sure the fort stopped firing on it once I had it.
 
I'm sailing in 3D from island to island to see if the weather changes, sop far i've been at sea for 3 game day's and all i've seen is each day go by with only the effect of the light changing to suit the time ie, night time, morning etc etc, i see mist a lot but so far i've not seen a single sign of rain or any other weather effect which i hope doesn't mean it won't happen. It would be nice to see the weather change from rain to a nice day/night without having to switch between 3D and world view first.

Anyway because my ship is a battleship its slow at sailing into the wind, i off loaded all cargo i didn't need into the captured ship knowing that it would slow it down but it didn't slow it down enough that ship was still able to pass me, so the ship sailed away i had to order the ship to defend my ship in order to keep that ship behind me and following me (perhaps another bug there) i did however notice that the ship had now changed its flag to match what i'm flying (English flag).

The problem is still there though, if your at a friendly port when you capture and enemy or pirate ship the harbour guns will still fire at any ships you have captured, and you can't switch to world view and back to reset the nationality that ship belongs to, so a tip for anyone willing to take ships to friendly ports in order to capture them, try to keep a decent distance from the port defences so that any ships you capture can sail out of range and thus out of danger from those port defences. Then when the battle is over change to world view and sail to the port if you wish to repair, sell, trade etc or go back into 3D sailing mode. Kind of annoying though, like i said hopefully this little bug will be fixed either in a patch or by modders.

Thats strange, why does the forts continue to fire at the ships i've captured?

You captured the ship near the English fort, country which is hostile personal relationship with you. You were under the English flag. The level of secrecy was sufficient.But when your squadron has increased by one ship secrecy level is not become sufficient. Fort has found out you , and began firing.
There is nothing strange.
No bugs.
