Why would a ship with all guns/crew/hull intact, surrender because it has no more rigging?? It basicly counts as sunk, which is ridiculous!
All the rules are not implemented yet. The rule for loss of rigging (which will hopefully be added soon) states:
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 enemy ship which can rake its hull. This is known as “surrender by immobility.” Excess rigging hits are treated as “misses.”
There we go! That rule makes sense....You wouldnt surrender with overwhelming friendly ships and firepower right next to you, could u imagine how embarrasing that would be?
That rule is very similar to the house rule we used to play with and I like it.
