Very odd behavior. See below screenshot, keeping in mind that there are supposed to be 10 enemy crew members.

 

 

When I started this ship-to-ship combat the enemy ship was almost full (10/18 slots). I'm having a really hard time nailing down exactly the steps to reproduce it, but it is reproducible (after the above screenshotted attempt where they were reduced to 4 crewmembers, I reloaded and tried again and got them down to 8 crewmembers). It seems to be vaguely linked to the following events, in some order:

 

a. injure enemy crew members with grapeshot or lucky cannonball shots

b. trigger some negative event (sails on fire, deck fire, etc.)

c. enemy AI tries to do a "report to"

 

Somehow, when the AI tries to do C after some combination of A, B, C steps, some of their crew members completely disappear (the ones that were recovering in the hold?)

 

Here's a dropbox link containing a quicksave right before this ship fight (just sail due east) as well as the output_log from the last attempt (where I took them down permanently from 10 crewmembers to 8 : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ijdgczzv7j3qkkq/AABc92XZdsf6FDqQ159R4_6aa?dl=0

Hi thelee,

 

I've added your issue about enemy ship crew members disappearing during ship SI combat to our database for further investigation.

 

Thanks for posting!
