I'm shivering with excitement.

Why not a huge list of names that you could pick from?

I agree that there should be penalties for shooting an already captured ship (5 second delay due to shot hang time). For the ship sinking later on? No penalty. I'd hate to see some players penalized because a ship captured 5 or so minutes ago sank because of holes put in it before it was captured.

My apologies.

I think a simple (at least in my eyes) addition to the game would be the ability to unlock the different pieces of the HUD and move them around, to a person's personal preference.

I would love to see this in the game.
