Skeleton ship problems

    Many of you know, that roaming skeleton ships, if you attack them, they sometimes despawn/disappear into the depth mid-fight. Also had a while ago a skellie sloop, which didn't spawn the loot...
    Three days ago I found something out that clarifies the problem and connection with these two scenarios:

    Fought a skeleton galleon, it clearly stopped and started to sink...while this happened, it moved it's nose down and disappeared, like when they despawn...WHILE IT WAS ALREADY SINKING!
    I wrote a support ticket, hopefully this knowledge can help them fix this, as everybody I've seen just thought, the loot isn't spawning, but actually the ship is just despawning...
    Did anyone of you guys see this happen as well?
    If you wanna see the video where this happened, it's in my XBox profiles recent videos

    @schwammlgott I've had it where I was convinced I'd sunk a Skelly ship, made a note of the direction (using my compass - was solo at the time) but I couldn't find the loot. I'd assumed it was just a bug as I was server merged not long after, but now that you've made a post it does seem like I encountered the same thing.

    Skellies dropping no loot has happend 2-3 times to us. If I recall correctly they were sank near terrain when this happened. So perhaps close terrain is somehow bugging it out.

    Skellies despawning has happened several times to us. I'm 99% sure of the reason: when you chase a player ship, and a skellie spawns on them, if that player ship sinks before the skellie one, then the skellies submerge and despawn.

    @greengrimz ...and when you fight roaming skellie ships they can despawn...
    But they never should despawn WHILE SINKING...mid-fight, ok, not happy with it, but ok...
    When near islands, they can slip away, also no problem with that, one jumps off and keeps clear sight...

    I think you might be on to something. I have had multiple instances of watching ships "sink" with no loot to show for it.

    Sucks...

    Oh well, let's not forget: they are supernatural beings! They have RIGHTS, and can do whatever the hell they wish as it would seem.

    Yeah, hope this is the problem...
    By the way, support already answered, that they bring this to the devs for further investigation...
