Mission Notes
Your local career trainer sends you to go talk to Robert Deal in Morgan's Bluff. He, in turn, sends you to Nassau to to talk to Hope van Hensbeek. You must start the mission from the open sea, as it takes you to an instanced version of Nassau, with all the NPCs standing around listening to some speech. Talk to Hope and meet her at the longboat to start the mission in earnest.
There are three ships that will attack you. A level 12 ship and a level 14 start very far away. A level 15 starts much nearer, and is the one that you must capture. Use sail-damaging shot to bring the ships sails down to near zero, and then you can click on it to have Hope and her crew capture the ship. You must then protect the ship until she can escape.
The other two enemy ships will approach shortly and attack. Draw their fire to get them attacking you rather than Hope's ship, which will still have its sails mostly down. This lets Hope get far enough away to get out of combat, and then repair and head to the exit piont.
Return to Robert Deal in Morgan's Bluff to complete the mission.
