Gentlemen,
I'm pretty sure it has already been adressed. If not, allow me, to point my finger at the ingame map.
Good to have one. But on this huge, huge map it's pretty easy to get lost. Example: You set your course to a location. After some time you cannot see any shore at all. Fortunately you encounter an enemy ship and tag it. After leaving the battle once again it really is very, very hard to even tell where you want to go now. So... it would be so very helpful to not only see a map but also a little info, where your ship is atm. If you want to make it complicated, don't show the direction the ship is pointing at. But at least spot the position.
