I started a new character to test the Turn Based combat. The first character I made worked just fine, but I didn't like the build. I know I restarted the client since then because I had issues getting my custom portrait installed.
On the second character I'd defeated all of the pirates but the scene didn't transition to the ship crash. I reloaded my save and then no enemies boarded my ship.
Checked after work: Save still does that. Gonna have to remake the character.
Edit 2: New character worked.
