Boot From Ship

Into the Drink With Ye!
Making a problem crewman or prisoner Walk the Plank by having them throw themselves into the sea, to swim to a nearby island or flounder til they drowned or become shark food is part of pirate mythology.

In Pirates Online, there is an option called Boot From Ship which was created for Privateering (Ship vs Ship Combat). It allows the captain of the ship to remove a rebellious or problem crewman and deposit them at their last Port of Call. However, this option ONLY functioned in SvS combat.

The Legend of Pirates Online made this option available at any time while the ship was at sea, but added a limitation where a captain could only boot one person every 5 minutes. This was meant to prevent abuse.



Booting a Problem Pirate
The option to Boot From Ship is under the Take Action menu on a pirate's profile card.

Click on the pirate, their name in the crew list or from the Chat Box and the Profile will appear.

Click on the Take Action Menu in the lower-left.

Select Boot From Ship (the gold boot icon). An "Are You Sure?" message will appear. You can cancel by clicking No, or continue by clicking Yes.

The booted pirate will then be teleported to their last Port of Call. They will NOT be able to return to your ship, while you are sailing. Once you port, the Boot From Ship resets and they will be allowed to re-board. If this pirate is a problem, you may need to change your Boarding Permissions to prevent their return.

The pirate will receive THIS message:

Limitations and Details
As stated before, a Captain can only Boot one crew member every 5 minutes - but also:
 * Only the Ship's Captain (Owner) can Boot From Ship
 * You do NOT have to be AFK to be booted
 * You do NOT have to be in a Crew to be booted
 * You are NOT removed from Crew after being booted and can still use Crew Chat.

 * Once the Ship has ported, the Boot from Ship ends.
