[Sunk, surrender or INSPECTION]

additional option: recruit sailors from the boarded ship, up to the maximum crew of your own ship.

would replace the surgeon option effectively.

[Re-Victualisation - How long can various ships spend at see without re-provisioning?]

Sid Meiers Pirates style:

- Rum provisions for your crew should be bought from ports to keep sailing.

- 1 rum provision takes 1 cargo hold and allows your ship to stay at sea for 1 day.

- Failure to provide rum to your crew decreases your overall crew morale.

- if engaged in a fight, and boarding happens, your max boarding morale is dependant on your overall crew morale.

- In open seas, if overall crew morale is at 0, an instance of boarding fight will start between your loyal crews and the mutineers.

 

apply these in patch = players happy

[Little things you'd like to see]

I put here for higher chance to be seen by devs:

The spyglass should be made available in open world for a multitude of reasons: spotting ships, reconning land and ports etc..

[Rewards for board and capping a ship seem low]

I did a test in a battle: I graped and killed about 500 men, yet I didn't receive a single xp for it in the end of battle summary.

I wonder what the mention of "crew killed" correspond to if graping doesn't bring any xp....

[Rewards for board and capping a ship seem low]

The rewards for boarding should be worth it , especially in terms of exp. after all you're killing their crew, yet it's not counted in the end of battle summary.

Today I got a mercury, and as a Junior Lieutenant, I only got 110 crew.

Is it normal?
