Hoorah!

Are you saying captains did not have to pay for repairs to their ships IRL? True, but would you prefer there be a limited amount of ships in the game and some admiralty distributing them to you based on your status as a noble and abilities as a captain? You have to set limits on just how realistic you want a game to be, but shooting a ship 'till it sinks and then boxes of magic loot popping out is a little too arcade-y in my book. There's games like Windward for that (which is really fun, but completely different). In the end it's all a matter of opinion anyway, but I sure hope we'll never see anything like it in-game.

Exactly as it should be. You don't sink a ship and then hope the cargo floats.

Yeah, no. It's really not. The physics behind flipping ships is a little weird though.

Of course, was just kidding. An upgradeable warehouse would be fantastic.

You could always hulk some trading ships and use them to store goods.

If you're going to make sails transparent to provide visibility you might as well include a transparency effect for anything that gets in front of the camera, in my opinion. Either do it properly or get rid of it completely and have obstructed views be a part of the gameplay.

Aye, but this poll suggests the game doesn't make you invisible for squad mates, which makes sense and makes life a little more convenient for group play.

Time to start scouring the nearby islands for those wrecks!

Is it talk like a pirate day again?

It's excellent.

Such opulence.

It says "Aftekening van een fregat" and seems to continue with "Go..M..k..m"? I can't make much of it - if it is a name, this website might have it included. Possibly "Gouda"? This ship was sold to the Navy in 1797. Edit: If it is a C, then Cornelia, Colombo or Concordia are possiblities.

"Bellerophon" is a personal favourite.

That's a scary vessel.
