Cannot Confirm Sea Relations: Escort Quest hostile ships dont fire

I just completed my first escort quest from St. Pierre to Sao Jorge. Both were friendly. We were met at the destination by a hostile Spanish War Galleon which we eventually sank with our two Polaccas. It just sailed around in circles and never fired back. The Polacca I was escorting did fire. I made level 50 when I hit the dock.
 
No, he said the enemy ship never fired back.

Which reminds me.... Has anyone encountered any enemies at the end of an Escort Quest as well?
Did they fight back properly?

And @Hylie Pistof: Was that enemy indicating hostile to you?
What flag was the enemy flying and what flag were you flying?
You don't still happen to have a savegame, do you?
 
Yes, now I see we are talking about 2 ships, I focus on the escort ship.:read

Indeed there was definitely a problem with the ship being escorted before, but that was fixed a while back.
This new report is about the enemy ship you encounter. Always something new. :modding
 
I seem to remember getting 3 escort missions in earlier installs that had hostile encounters. I don't remember what one ship was, but it fired on us and wasn't too big. Another was a sloop that fired on us, and then it was a ketch that fired on us.

I was quite happy that the Spanish War Galleon did not fire on our 2 polaccas as 40-24 pounders would have shredded them pretty quickly. It showed red on the minimap and was Spanish as they are the only ones currently hostile to me. Since they pretty much own the Caribbean in 1561 one enemy is enough.

Save game. This should be the one where you are leaving Martinique and headed for Camahogne.

I need to remember to test this save to confirm and hopefully fix this problem.
In the meantime, I marked it as "Requires Testing".

Your savegame is based on an earlier game version than the latest one, but thankfully it still loaded fine.

I sailed for Camahogne to find the Spanish War Galleon generated right next to me.
She was red on the minimap and did fire on both myself, my companion and a random Pirate that happened to pass by.
So this one is "Cannot Confirm". :confused:
