and it is indeed. what i did was this:

i had two ships, a fleut and a badly damaged corvette. i was on the fleut. i sold the fleut, letting my officer keep the corvette which i fixed up in the shipyard.

i went to the port and went to sea.

at sea, this happened:

i was suddenly next to my officer's corvette, in a manowar MM from a previous savegame which i had deleted some time ago.

my character's skills where reset to 1, but i did still have all the bonuses for my skills.

i was reset to level 2.

all my abilities where gone.

my officer's didn't have effect anymore. it did show that they had effect, but they actually hadn't. so basically, i'm pretty skrewed now with all those crappy skills.

all my active quests where still active.

there was no cargo in the manowar.

my crew money was suddenly below 500 gold pieces.

i still had all my items.

take THAT, bugfixers! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" />
 
NOTE: i was NOT commanding the corvette before i went to sea, that was my officer!
 
I didn't understand the part with the previous save games???
So you just departed from the port after you had sold the fleut and you had Manowar????

KOJI JEBENI ZAJEB LOL



Why is it the best cheat ever?? You lost everything except manowar lool
 
the manowar, my reputation, inventory, officers (only usefull for combat now, dagnabbit! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> ), and the corvette. i have no idea how i ended up with that ship from a previous savegame! i mean, it was already deleted for cripes sake! even from a different build version!

it comes down to the fact that i now have to control my manowar like i'm doing it by myself. better find a new officer soon to at least be able to fire and steer in a decent manner. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

the way to trigger the bug is this: make sure that you don't have a ship yourself, but your officer does have one. then, leave port. that's it!
 
I can see that this might occur. I might have had that myself once. I'm not sure how to fix that though. Perhaps make it so that if you leave to sea without having a ship, either the leave-to-sea locator will be closed or you will be given command of one of your other ships automatically. I suppose the game simply didn't know what to do when you wanted sail with no ship.

I don't really want to bother fixing this one. I am too busy doing all sorts of other stuff and this bug can easily be avoided by making sure you have a ship when you go sailing. But if anyone would want to work on it: Most obliged. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
that's the point: i couldn't figure out HOW to get on my corvette.

what i found so wierd is that i ended up with a ship from a deleted savegame.
 
You can swap ships in the F2>Ship menu. That way you should be able to put yourself on the Corvette instead of on the Fleut. I recommend you FIRST swap ships and THEN sell the Fleut. Selling your own ship without getting a new one immediately could cause really weird trouble, so try to prevent that from happening.
 
yes, that was the initial plan, but i had forgotten it and found out that i couldn''t swap ships without haivng a ship myself. unfortunatly, i had only realised that i could buy a tartane after i had experienced the bug. i did give me a huge early advantage though, so i don't really mind. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
In Seadogs when you leave the shipyard without buying a new ship after selling yours, you are immediatly given a tartan boat, so this bug never occurs. In PotC it should have been the same. If such a bug existed in stock PotC, I wonder why nobody ever complained about it. I'm going to run a new game on stock PotC and try to sell my ship for a try.
 
Please keep an eye out for other weird issues that might occur after this bug. It could be that some things are severely messed up in your savegame, but it could also be that you can normally continue. If you experience truly ridiculous or gamekilling problems, reload a savegame from before the bug ocurred.
 
well, the biggest problem with me would be that my officers don't work. that's about it. but i can go up a level at such a high speed now that i probably wont really need my officers that much. i've got a lot of my crucial skills at level 4+. training with people helps a lot with this.

From what I remember, both Stock and the modded Builds do not allow player to sell his own ship.
Player can only exchange ships and pay the difference if the trade is an upgrade, or get money back if the trade is a downgrade.

Player was never allowed to go around without a ship assigned.

I suggest that in build 14, some mod has removed that check.
 
hehe...wait, the bug get's better: now, every ability that i give to one of my officers is given to myself as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> usefull...

Oh no! They won't let you get away with that one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Pieter and the other modders will have to fix that one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Oh, you mean in post count. No I think not. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
ok, but i think i would win anyway. i'll see if i make it.

seems like that convenient bug dissapeared again. oh well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> it doesn't seem like the bug effects the gameplay in any other way now.
 
I think I have been able to end up without a ship for quite some time. I recall being able to in either Build 12.1 or one of the Pre Build 13 versions. But I don't recall exactly how or when anymore... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
