Ship of the damned still attacking anchored ships

[Ben Kor 6]

Has there been any response from the developers on this issue?  are they aware of it?  Do they have any plans to fix it? 

Last night, someone kited a ship of the damned into my docks and, if I weren't online, it was in a position to sink all 6 of my ships.  I was able to get to a ship and sink the Damned ship in time to save the ship it was working attacking.  It only destroyed a sail and 1 plank which I was able to replace before it sank. 

It's only a matter of time until someone wipes out our entire fleet this way.  I do have to sleep some time.

It has been acknowledged.  Sadly, no concrete details on how they plan to address it but if has been confirmed as needing to be addressed.

Do the devs know about it? Yes

Will the devs do anything about it? Very unlikely

I personally think they find it funny hearing these things happen, they must have a right giggle at our expense. Why they don't resolve these things right away is beyond me, the patches they keep giving us they should include changes to things like this to prevent it happening.

We'll hear the same excuse though "it takes many weeks to implement code to change this" ok whatever you say.
