It’s determined by the ship’s current controller, so you make the check when that player starts their turn, regardless of when the ship was actually lit on or fire or when it lost its last non-fire mast.

Because of this, couldn’t you delay (or eliminate the need for) the automatic scuttle by capturing the ship that only has fire masts?  It see…

I assume it would be best to use it on the most accurate cannon available, but only at the end of the shoot action. That way, you have the best chance of hitting in order to get the second shot, but if it backfires, you can just eliminate a mast that has already shot (therefore not needlessly losing that shot).

Of course, that assumes positioning…

How to use Double Shot….

Once per turn when this ship is given a shoot action, one of her cannons can shoot a double shot. Declare which cannon will shoot the double shot before rolling the d6. If it hits, the cannon can shoot again. If either cannon roll is a 1, remove Double Shot from the game and eliminate a mast from this ship.

I assume it…[Read more]

If a switchblade blades a ship, would that count as touching that ship for the purpose of abilities like Filching Gold (Once per turn this ship can randomly take one treasure from any ship she touches)?
If yes, would a Scorpion hitting a ship with it’s blade also count?

Blades hitting other ships does count as touching them, so other abilities t…[Read more]

Sorry, disregard the above.   I found the actual ruling that was already established, so use this instead (from the PC):

Board

-An ability that provides an alternative boarding result (such as capturing a crew, eliminating all crew, or taking all treasure) overrides the losing player’s choice, unless the winner chooses to not use that abili…

I didn’t clarify enough, or I’m reading into your answer too much heh.
Ex: Cannibal King (who has the Hoard ability) wins a boarding party against Congress. Congress has crew and treasure. Can the loser choose to just lose one crew, or does Hoard require them to lose all their treasure instead since abilities override rules?  When applying Hoar…

The standard rule still applies, but by taking as much as you can carry you’re more likely to get to the good stuff.  You can also take as many zero-space UTs as you want.
