((Wait, does no one on our team has a point in cannons?  Also, currently the red team has 3 people with engineering and piloting skills. This is embarrasing.
This is going to go horribly wrong for us with this set of skills.

Also, I so much want this to be spiced with two commentators, you and Caellath together.))

Seeing as Shepberd looks very enthusiastic about controlling the ship, Vlad relinquishes control and goes down.

He also checks the ammo for the machine guns.

Edit: Use the loadstone to turn 45 degrees to the left. (Wait, if Danath loaded the explosive rounds into the left cannons, should I turn right instead?)
Another Edit: If possible, instead of the above action, pull on the loadstones in such a way that our ship shifts one square left but keeps going towards the enemy.

While we have no one with cannon skills, we do have a couple with high dex, which still counts towards it a great deal.  Though strategy wise, I vote going up alongside them, broadsiding them with explosive rounds which I will load into the left cannons, and then boarding them.  I think it's only an automatic fail if both the skill and it's attribute are 0.

As for me, I set my character up as a master gunner, so I should probably stay on the machine guns and suppress the enemy.

I should point out that explosive shells do less damage to metal plating then straight normal shells. They're great once you have a hole to fire into, but on their own their kind of like using a frag grenade on a tank.

Once we get a hit on the enemy plating, can I penetrate the wood underneath with a deck gun?

Do we have dynamite or something we can throw into their ammo dump after we break their plating?

I suppose we can either fire an explosive shell into it, or fire normal bullets into their explosive shells and try to set them off.

The reason I would want to use dynamite, is to allow our guys those precious few seconds to jump out back to our ship. Since it would seem that we would need to board it in order to hit the ammo pile.

unless of course we could blow a hole in the side of the ship where the ammo pile is :P 

Anyway, we're all mad here.  I'm sure we'll have volunteers clamouring for a place on a suicide mission that results in a massive explosion.

Turn around and aid in loading the cannons.

Attention, Blue Team. You may still be able to switch someone with Great Wyrm if you act now.
