I just started playing again using Build 14 A 6. I notice a lot of empty chests particularly when boarding ships, and that when you wind up in single combat with the captain, his corpse is not searchable. Is there a fix?
 
The chests are of course somewhat based on your luck skill. The unlootable captain is a bug that will hopefully be fixed in Alpha 8.

Another problem:

In Build 14 A 6. I am getting stuck boarding. Six stright loads of a saved game.
 
Personally, now that I re-started my pirate career, how come that every ship I come across has only token amount of planks and sailcloth? Shouldn't they have more that 5 or 10 units on board?
 
they always have that amount of planks and sailcloth for as far as i've seen. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Arrgh!!

Now I remember why I quit playing this game a few months ago. I kept getting stuck on boarding after 10 - 12 hours of game play. Playing Build 14 A 6 the problem seems to be where I left it. I think I read that is also an issue in A 7. If that is so, it may be carried over from Alpha 6. Does anyone of any knowledge of this problem or interest in addressing it?

I'll notify Pirate_KK of this thread. Please post any other bugs you encounter here as well.

For what it is worth the getting stuck on boarding issue seems to occur after boarding two or three times successfully in separate engagements. Then when I am in boarding mutiple ships in a single engagement I get stuck on the last ship usually two or three. Once that happens, the problem occurs with increasing frequency until I can't ever gett usnstuck from boarding.

It seems to me that this bug goes right to the heart of the gameplay if it can't be solved the game is essentially unplayable. So I have a fundamental question. Am I only one experiennceing this issue? And anothre question, If I am, does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get beyond this?

Thank you.
 
Now, you're not the only one getting this. It goes like this: I board enemy ship (or enemy tries to board me), we fight on the deck, and after I kill all enemies I can't go any furthe - I'm reduced to wandering aimlessly around battered deck, littered with bodies.

Hm, sounds kinda like Davy Jones locker <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Good to know. I don't know what is up with this.

Do you get it every time in boarding or is it tied to anything you can think of?

I got this a couple of times as well in my Pre-Alpha 8 test version. I do not know why. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
it dissapeared with me when i turned off the new ransom mod and started a new game. at least, it didn't happen from then on.
 
Hmm? Well for what it is worth, I have started a new game, and have not gotten stuck in boarding once. The only thing I have done differntly is to avoid using the instant boarding skill. When I was getting it earlier I was using instant boarding in mulitple baordings. Once I started get it however, I got it on every boarding.

I will keep playing and see.

Morgan what is the ransom mod and where do you turn it off? When I was getting it all the time had captured no one and ransomed no one.

well, you can turn it off in the buildsettings. the only difference is that you ransom prisoners like in the stock game.

Oh no.

I didn't have that problem since Alpha 7. And did mainly boardings (with instant boarding too)...

Well, seems that backstabbing enemy.
