From a certain point of view 1,2 and 3 are not bugs as they are stated as "differences from the boardgame version" in the How to Play section.
Anyway, I agree that it would be nice to "fix" them and replicate the original rules


True, not "bugs" in that they're not due to errant code. Just for some history, Nick and prior playtesters committed to deviating from the rules as little as possible. That said, of the ones I mentioned, I would say #1 is the most serious because it's such a huge departure from the boardgame rules and affects nearly every game. If they're easy, give it a try. If not, I'd rather see more serious problems addressed.

Thanks,
Bill

In the next version, ships surrendered by striking will no longer "sink", so they will now block line of fire.
Also, ships will surrender by firepower using the correct conditions (broadside from 1 hex, no big friends within 10 hexes).
Ships which have already surrendered by firepower before the new version will stay surrendered.

Working on the dismasted ships issue at the moment


Thanks, Blue Dragon - this is great!
Have the melee bugs been worked out?
There were problems with crew assigned to boarding parties not taking crew hits, and OBPs off of struck ships that would attack and capture the enemy ship one turn after their home ship struck, TBPs move off a ship that strikes, and the fact that a ship could not OBP against multiple ships in the same turn?
Hubert or Bill may have example game numbers in a bug testing document some place...
