This is not a bug but a change to eliminate differences with the boardgame
Ships with no hull now properly "surrender by striking" instead of sinking. So they will now also block line of fire.

There is however still a bug on them: if you board them, you will just lose your OBP (in the boardgame you can board struck ship and use the prize crew to fight melee from there, even if struck ships can't move or fire).


Can we have something else other than a White Flag over the sunken ship?

Something like this but without the words: http://www.ainley.net/images/accessdenied.gif

Otherwise it will be difficult for the users to tell whether they are dealing with a surrendered/abandoned ship or a sunken hulk.

As I said, by rules it's not a sunken ship but it's just a struck one - a ship surrendered by striking - so from a certain point of view it's ok that it has the white flag as the other surrendered ones.
However, I understand that a struck ship is a bit different from the rest since by rules it can only melee and at the moment it cannot even do that - so some differentiation would be useful as you said.

Also let's keep in mind that in Advanced Rules ships can be repaired (not when they are surrendered, but if they are captured I think they can) so let's choose a solution which will be good for when we'll make Advanced mode as well.
