We are going through another cycle of surrender/unsurrender. I'm having trouble finding a reference for how this is supposed to occur, but it seems odd that a ship would surrender and then rally immediately.
Can you clarify please?
This "oddness" is due to the fact that rules for surrender and unsurrender are not perfectly "simmetrical", that is:
Rule VIII.D.4.b: If all rigging squares are marked off, and no friendly ship of the same or larger class as the firing ship is within ten squares distance, the ship will surrender to the first enemey ship which can rake its hull. This is known as surrender by immobility [...]
Rule IX.D.14: If at any time a ship which has surrendered other than by striking is within five hexes (inclusive) of a friendly ship at the beginning of the turn, it ceases to be surrendered and may begin normal functions the next turn. It does not lose any of its damage though. It is still subject to surrender if the necessary conditions occur again.
