I have gotten to the point where I can incapacitate many ships close to the beginning of the battle. I have three other ships that are slower but they have more men as I am using a light sloop without many people.

I need them to capture ships that have seventy two enemy AI but my ships will just circle around all the ships staying out of the range of fire most of the time. If I wait they might try to capture it but it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. If I initiate the boarding myself on my small ship I often don't get help from the other ships.

I would like to keep using a small and light ship as it's more fun. It's coming to the point of having to use a large ship just to have enough people to capture the enemy vessel. Does anyone know how to give an order to one of my ships to directly capture another? ( I do have the capture setting on.)
