I agree with the DEV on this one. I like the idea of scuttling. It just seems more logical to me that a driver would have the ability to scuttle his cargo. But perhaps this can be turned into a game mechanic. What if there was the ability to jam the person bot so they were unable to scuttle their ship. Seems like a good middle ground. Someone can still spec and play as a pirate but they would have to spend points to jam/diffuse/disarm the opponents ability to scuttle.
