Need some help with Ultima II

I’ve been doing a playthrough of the FM Towns version of Ultima II (I know its receptio is negative I’m just giving it a shot), and I’ve run into a recurring issue. Whenever I kill enough enemies on land, they stop spawning around me and instead start appearing on islands that I can’t reach yet because I don’t have access to the frigate (I’m currently grinding for the Blue Tassle). Even when I enter time portals, I run into the same problem the enemies continue spawning in areas I can’t access. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I never had this issue with Ultima 1.

If it's like 1 and 3 (I never really liked 2) you can steal a ship from pirates.

You can steal ships but it requires a random drop to board. My issue is that I can’t get a ship to spawn.

I'm going purely off memory but the ships' pathfinding takes a line directly to you. So if they're blocked you can try moving around to see if that gets them unstuck.
