Escaped ships

 

Escaped ships are not a big problem in Port Royale 2. They can instantly be attacked again after a battle, except a pirate convoy that escaped from its hideout after you attacked it or a convoy that managed to reach a town.
Nonetheless escaped ships are always annoying as their canvas and mast are restored after a fight. If the hull was not considerable damaged in the first battle it will be hard to catch up with the fleeing ship.
