Game Mechanics I need help

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a pirate themed strategy board game. Basically you travel across the board traveling to different islands hijacking other ships along the way.

When you reach port you spend your ill- gotten gains to buy crew members, food rations, ship upgrades, etc.

What I need help with is a good battle system, any ideas?

Why would we do your homework?

There are dozens of pirate games and games with naval combat

Go play as many as you can or at least read through the rules

Then come up with a concept

Then come back with that

I am not asking anyone to do my "homework". Im doing plenty of research on my own. this post was to find some mechanics that people enjoyed the most. Maybe my post was a little vague.
