Preface

This isn't a mod or a hack, it's just something I found I could do in the game, and it saves a lot of time and work for players that either haven't levelled enough or just aren't good enough at ship-steering to destroy the big ships. And now, let's get on with the guide...

Getting Ready

Now, what you need to do is to find a ship. It doesn't matter what rank or how much armor it posesses. Secondly, you speed up ahead of it, and once you are so far away that the boat is around a fourth of its former size, leave the steering wheel.

Clearing the Ship

Once you've stopped the boat, jump out as fast as you can and swim to the side of your boat, where the enemy ship should be coming towards.Once you've done that, you wait for the enemy ship if it hasn't come already, then climb on and kill all the occupants, especially the captain. Now that it isn't moving and has no one to control it, it's an easy target.

The Shippening

Now, go back to your ship, go to the boat you just ransacked and hit it with cannons until it bursts into flames, wherupon you hold S once close to it to invade it. when you get to the boat for the fight, you will notice that the crew of the other ship has magically ressurected themselves. Now you can just complete it like a normal loot.
