Can Someone your fighting lock you out of your ship??

We have an ally that everything they fight someone they get locked out of there ship, wheel, sails, etc.

It this a game buff? Or hack?

I think what happens is company leaders set up security they don't understand.   It doesn't become an issue until the heat of the battle.  This is pretty typical of bad planning (I've made the same mistakes many times).   Make sure you set doors, beds, ship wheels  and defenses up so that everyone in that you want to use them can!

What he said.  Check that first. 

I've never heard of a hack/exploit that can do that.  Anything is possible, but I find it more likely that people in the heat of battle are having issues and not understanding what is happening in front of them due to a lack of experience with game mechanics.
