(Just a couple of notes - none of the pirate ships are stuck in the hull of the big mothership, if a ship crashes into another the weaker one just breaks up. And also it's almost impossible to blow a skyship to bloody shrapnel with small guns like the soldiers have. The only way to take one down is by boarding it, ramming it, or attacking it with aforementioned ballistae.)

Although many pirate ships were falling to the ground from the hull-breakers' impact, there were still several dozen still afloat. These were the more mobile among them, and were soaring through the air firing their spikes and ramming other ships. Quite a few of Maximilien's ships were gone now, but his fleet still consisted of many ships.

One ship ascended high into the sky, where it could no longer be seen.

A few minutes later, without warning, it plumetted - all the steam inside the rock having been released at once. It crashed straight onto the Basterd's Edge's deck, splintering it horribly and knocking it off balance. The entire crew leapt off the decks, armed to the teeth, and immediately started to slaughter the soldiers on board that had been caught off guard.

(Massive skyship battles are fun!)
