If a german sub sinks a ship beside you and then surfaces, signals you to stay calm and then turns tail and leaves you alone there's a good chance that you can trust them.
At least give me some sense of honor

Good day sir Karamazovnew, we meet again. You must tell me please, how long were these thread questions festering? By heavens man, i cheer you on, not in jest might i add. Without sounding, to set to one side, you and webster, well done. Alot of ground was covered, and many questions answered. That said, ...... i will refrain from retaliation, do not wish unrest lol, survivors idea i warm to alot. As for trusting them, would you ? Picking them up i believe is absurd, aloting some good chaps, to their needs! No, give them a good bottle of claret, and point them on the correct heading. Boarding party, another splendid idea, with the non action final report, but as Webster states for food only, if indeed low reserves to survive. one does not want to be branded with piracy,
thuggery at best. On the same point, so many what if scenarios could result, and with dire consequences to your boarding party. Ships company may change heart, last few seconds, Crew loss by (Enemy Crew Reactions).
Lastly, the sense of honor you asked? Iam sure you have earned. This thread Has been a worth while read for me and will continue to do so. Thankyou.
