Trouble in the main quest

Hi, I'm kind of a newcomer to the game series, but I find it terribly addicting already :S I just hope you can find the time for us "n00bs" as well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I ran into a bit of trouble in the main quest, think the walkthrough calls it quest no. 2, the one where I go to farlais de flue... whatever... in order to be the escort for the ammunition ship "Oiseau". One problem though, I talked to the ownerof the ship, and he asked me to go fetch my ship. I docked by a shore a bit from the city walls, because if I try to dock at the port, my ship would be gone in 1-2 seconds (seriously, that's all it took!).

Being at war with the french sort of puts me in a stalemate now... I must be missing something. Am I not supposed to sail my own ship or what?

Thanks for listening

Just go to the Townhall while on the French Island & ask the Governor for forgiveness for a price, then you will be neutral with France.
Also another extra quick way to get your ship from Oyster Bay to the Port is to go to the Shipyard, start a conversation with the owner & then leave. Your ship is automatically transferred to the port.
 
Are you using any of the modpacks? As far as I remember, you should be able to leave port without trouble at that point.
But with the modpacks, you might have to raise a false flag first (French or Portuguese or so).

I posted in the mod section, didn't I? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

But this seems like the easiest thing for me to do, I'll try that one out... it would be weird to ask for forgiveness when I'm on a mission for the english.
 
Uhm... yes, you did. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
It still helps if we know exactly which version you're running though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Build 13, can't get the others to install... but that's fine. I just want to say thanks for the help, it worked. However weird it is, once I left with the barque, I couldn't switch flags so that I was able to attack the damn thing... at least not near the island. Once I got further out, it switched automaticly to the british flag, so I had to board it old style. Had sort of hoped that I could sneak up on their side and start bombarding them... but that just wouldn't happen. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Now my only problem is to get rid of the french crew... Any way to make som money on them? Sell them as slaves for example? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />
 
Assign an officer to the Oiseau? You get to keep or sell the ship. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Heh, already assigned a captain :p I'm just afraid to lose potential profits from selling the ship before I get rid of the crew
 
I don't think you get money for the crew. Slavery is not (yet?) included in the game.

Ah ok, maybe I can kill some of them for a bit of experience then... but thanks for bringing me on with the game. Awesome mod! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

Slavery could be a good idea actually, or also we could talk with the crews 'country authorities' or something so that they pay us in exange of the crew, makes more sense than the captain paying his freedom by himself (because he is supposed to be a prisoner, so how could he have any money to pay you) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />o)
 
We have actually been doing a bit of brainstorming on adding slavery in the <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=13308&hl=slaves" target="_blank">IDEA: Supply and demand economy</a> thread.
You might want to have a look at it.
