A few suggestions

[McKnight]

I would like to suggest the following:

1. Please remove all the speed modules and make the game more balanced again. 
2. Please make it harder to demast. It is only a matter of hitting masts these days and a lot less about being a good sailor.
3. Please remove hard to get and imba modules/resources that both unbalance gold and ship builds
4. Since you are merging the servers, please consider dividing the map into difference timezones. K
   1. Keep the current EU PB timer (EU prime time) in the dominated EU areas like Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Great and Lesser Antilles, Jamaica and around the coast of South America
   2. US prime time PB zone around Florida and northern part of the Mexican gulf 
   3. Oceanic prime time PB zone in Panama and Yucatan area
   4. etc. etc.

...how would you divide the map into different timezones? Like, what mechanic would that even be?

Ports would get assigned to timezones 1 2 3 or 4.

@McKnight - Are you plundering my map?

Well, dividing the map into timezones, at least you know what you get into when you expand

Timezones are the worst idea ever ... other games are working well without timezones. Next idea setting EU Timezone battle timers to 12:00 - 18:00 becouse a bunch of 12year old kids can only play at that time.  so please devs fix it.

Dividing the Map into timezone is like dividing the playerbase ... in ur example US Players can only be part at Florida, but what about US Player who wants to play French / Polish or other Nations? Or player who want to capture ports in other regions....

First time I see your map - good job. This is just an example of great minds thinking alike!
