My current captain is finishing up some achievements, notably the ones involving the looting of mine enemies (Yarrr). I have been watching the captain score to see when I reach the numbers necessary to record the achievement, and to my annoyance, they rarely go up. I have been "doing business" with independent pirates and bounty hunters that want me to surrender, as I am in good standing with all the "real" factions.
The real question is: does the game only count certain ones of these post-tussle transactions as "looting" or "stealing", or have I hit on a bug of some sort? If I need to extend the enforcing of the the "Rock Sandstone needs a new pair of shoes" tax some of those honest merchants of an independent nature, because it doesn't really count if the other guy wants to fight, then it helps to know that.
As a side note, I have come to the conclusion that there are few things a crew likes better that to watch a ship blow up after removing any valuables not welded down. Except for that other ships crew that is, they like them to experience the destruction up close and personal.
