[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 9015528, member: 20323"] I did pretty much exactly the same as [USER=97077]@iserith[/USER] when I opened a campaign with a ship chase that transitioned into a "nautical battle" where the enemy used magic ([I]arcane gate & dimension door)[/I] to board the PC's ship while a NPC mage focused on weather magic to repel missile fire and try to increase the gap till the PC's ship could get to a safe harbor where the pursuing pirates dared not go. It was a nice surprise for the player when the boarding happened via teleportation magic, and the feel was very swashbuckler-y which we enjoyed. But in terms of "ship combat system" it was all hand-waved and consisted of lots of ad lib narrative, skill checks, and finally the PC druid having the breathing space and range to cast [I]flaming sphere [/I]on the pursuing ship's main sail which I used as the segue to concluding the encounter.
