Good idea. in OW, and in battle with traders ship(gunports who aren't used, because of cargo hold), gun ports closed please! it would be awesome to animate this at the start up of the battle where gunports open and guns where put into place, but as OlavDeng2 mentioned if this takes to much resourches than it's fine as it is.

The Amsterdam won the poll, so the majority of people on these forums (or at least the part that cared to cast their votes) was of the opinion that the Amsterdam was more interesting than either the 7 Provincieën or Prins Willem.

I find this hard to believe!? it's like not giving the British nation the ''Hms Victory'', or the French nation without the ''Le Soleil Royal''?
The ''Zeven provinciën'' was the famous 80 gun ship of the line for the Dutch, a ship build for dutch admirals.
However The ''Amsterdam'' was a highest class spiegelretourschip, a perfect Merchant ship for the VOC, build for trade and protecting it. But i think both ships never sailed the carribean waters.

First off all the game look very good as i played these couple off days! but as always, as this topic suggested there are some little things that others and meself are finding missing.
when i'm sailing the open world it looks stunning! but i suggest to bring more life into it? for an example;
AT SEA:
- a flock of Birds (as i have read correctly this was mentioned multiple times in this topic)
- a pack of doplhines who cruise along with your ship once and awhile
- thunderstorms with sound and lightning flashes (rain look stunning already imo)
- a groep of fisherman so once and while
- please close the gun ports whe are making water!! (especially trading ships)
- men on the masts and yards.
- a wheelsman behind the rudder, it looks deserted there.
- nation flags, admiral flags (the same as in battle)
- an old sea map instead of this one (it looks to modern)
PORTS:
- slightly bigger port city's/towns for capital ports
- ports with static moored vessels, it looks very empty especially at capital ports.
- a shipyard with with work in progress (to compliment the crafting system, wich is amazing!)
In Battle:
- a wheelsman behind the rudder, it looks deserted there.
- men on the masts and yards.
- please close the gun ports of trading ships, or ports who aren't filled with guns.
- gun recoil, let them fly into the gunports after beeing shot (i see the animation of the guncrew pushing them back, so i'm guessing this would implimented?)
- the decks look very clean, a bit more stuff on the deck wouldn't hurt the detailed look?
- when at pistol shot range, let some puffs of smoke from muskets go off.
- Boarding hooks and ropes.
- breaking masts
this is just suggestion as i not know how game develoment works, so correct me if i am wrong about wat can and cannot be done! i am a big fan of Napoleon Total war, and there i see a lot of things
that can be really usefull to naval acton. even complete parts of hull can shot off and repaired with extra planking for an example
i'm just a simple skipper irl, and with that beenig said
mine opinion about ships handling and buoyancy is pretty accurtate! a bit mor bow wave and heeling wouln't hurt, especially with the wind full on sides and full sailes, on 3 decks with guns the lower
gundeck ports should be closed, otherwise the men at pumps have a lot of work to do.
None the less a very very great game, i'm loving it in it's current state as beta!! thanks dev's to make this possible!!

^^This is, imo, the golden idea in the name of custom names, written in a nice font wich is hystorical appropiate! And yes, you would see double names so every once and awhile but it ads diversity.
