I don't know what I touched, but only once my ship fired chain and normal ammo at the same time  Anybody knows what keys must press? |

| Good question! I've seen the enemy fire multiple types of ammo at me but have not been able to figure out how to do that myself. It would be nice to be able to rake them with a close in broadside of grape and chain. |

Try this (after firing a broadside), if you have grape selected wait until the ammo loading bar reaches about half way then select chain. Now you should have both types loaded. I'm not at home to try it but I think that's how I've been able to do it. |

| You can switch ammo type while firing. Let a few grape shots out then press chain. You can do this with any ammo type. Get a fully loaded SOL you can fire off three different shot types in one salvo. |

Cool! I'll try that later tonight and see what happens.
I've been experimenting with the canoe and picking at larger ships until they surrender or knocking out their sails and crew. A cobo of grape and chain would be perfect.
It'll make point five past light speed with cotton sails and a copper hull  |

I tried Zepheron's system and it worked, at least once!  |

The more cannons you have, the easier it is to time  |
