:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
While I was trying to give a ship the conversion ability, I was not able to so I tested Sun Ce, the only vanilla non monk unit with conversion mechanic,s and it’s not working too.
Currently the unit tracks the target, and once in conversion range, just stops and do nothing, returning to its default behavior after that.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Spawn Sun Ce and outpost for line of sight
  2. Spawn ennemies at the outpost
  3. Try convert ennemy with Sun Ce, starting from a distance to see the move-to-target and then stop. (easier to see with no attack stance on)

The bug is already being tracked according to a thread from April:

I’m not sure if the hidden (and “semi-official” since V&V) Boarding Galley units (BDGAL, ABGAL) would be of use for you? Other hidden ships that convert are Stoertebeker and Monk Boat (MONKBT).

Yap I’m gonna use the boarding ship instead, until anything is fixed at least.
