Problem: One thing I have noticed about this game that is a problem is that original sail. for example you got your friend to get the game. so you tell him the server to pick and the nation to pick. he is like yea... I'm at the capital what do I do........ and your response is this... get your cutter and sail 3 hours to where we are. I hate having to say that to a new buddy who just got the game because I know it will crush any desire they had to play. thus your friends first 3 hours in naval action is spent watching his cutter sail in open world. Solution: at the begging allow the player to choose their port that they start in. national or free. allow them to pick the port they would like to start in. put recommended by the capital to keep solo people from being confused. I would have at least 5 more people playing the game if their first 3 hours in naval action wasn't spent sailing to the front line in a cutter.

Hey guy was just wondering if there is a map with coordinates? Or is it even allowed in the first place. I know you can see your location via the f11 option but is this wrong?

Hello, I would just like to suggest adding something like longitudes and latitudes on the map; perhaps depending on where your cursor is hovering around, it will show the coordinates of that particular location (numbered grid lines would work too). This will work in conjunction with some small portion of the UI showing your present location in degrees longitude and latitude. You devs wouldn't have to show our ship on a map or whatever, (I know the navigating and using the compass is part of the fun in the game) just give those numbers on the UI and on the map. This would really help when one has been sailing for days and is unsure where one is. Many people have told me to just press f11 to know my coordinates, but I think it'd be more immersive if it were something like longitude and latitude. And to my knowledge, the map doesn't really show the X and Y coordinates, so knowing your present X and Y isn't helpful. Besides, this would be closer to reality at the time, than just sailing west and praying for land. Navigators back then had cross staffs, sextants, astrolabes, etc. They could figure out roughly where they are in relation to a map, whereas we (players) cannot. From what wiki tells me, the lines of longitude and latitude wasn't standardized until the late 19th century, so maybe something like it can be implemented in-game? Perhaps gridifying whatever the navigators at the time used to reckon their positions? The modern standard system would be great too

what time of day do you generally get to play? (local time) I myself play early morning or late at night, seeing as it's summer and too hot inside for any other time.
