The Flare System

A flare must be used to engage in naval combat. The aggressor.

FLARE INDICATORS:

               Red =  Hostile if you do not stop/comply you may be fired upon. (ships with closed sails should not be fired on)

               Green =  Neutral-Verbal: Initiator wishes to speak, RP will ensue and can escalate depending on the conversation. (no immediate boarding or firing)

Note: Depending on the outcome of discussion/events a red flare may be fired to escalate the event.

NO MORE THEN 2 FLARES MAY BE SHOOT IN A 1 MIN INTERVAL!

DO NOT SHOOT FLAIRS AROUND KNOWN LIGHT SENSITIVE PEOPLE!

FLARES ARE MEANT TO BE SHOT IN THE AIR, NOT AT PEOPLE!

If a targeted ship does not have flares, they may use the Local Chat option to say they surrender.
Once surrender is rendered; the aggressors may board the targeted ship with no retaliation from the target. The targeted ship is required to open all doors/chests that the aggressors request. Please see below for the looting rules.

Once a naval battle starts, you may not travel through shimmers or push opponents through shimmers unless fleeing, if you are fleeing and cross a shimmer you cannot “go back” to re-engage.
