is there any proof that these are given out randomly? here's my observations.

• you are less likey to gain one in a smaller ship.
• you are more likely if you were outnumbered.
• you are more likely with no bots on your ship.
• you are more likely if you hit them with more cannon balls than they hit you.

i have no proof this is all guessing with what i have personally witnessed.

-In my experience, it does kinda seem to be random. I have only got them on cutters and sloops, personally (I haven't tried with a bigger ship), and I did have 1-2 bots on my ship. I don't know whether I hit them more than they hit me, but they had a green might ring, so we wouldn't have been too drastically outnumbered, if we were outnumbered at all. I'm not sure if there is "proof", but I personally would lean more towards 'it's random' than that there are specific triggers. Adrielle =) 06:56, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I would hazard that - like many other things in the game - it's random with some sort of weighting for various conditions. So it's always random, but you can do things to give you a higher probability. --Belthazar451 08:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
