Buy buttons grayed out even when there is plenty of product to buy?? Contracts aren't posting for me.. yet they show in "My contracts"

Two weeks sailing with Blue Captains..a requirement?? Bit long in having to do something when all you want to do is fleet up and get into fights.

Another nautical term for flag was Ensign.

Some may like these others aren't. I have not put these ideas in any order of hinting importance. They are my ideas and thoughts that would help make this game more ascetically pleasing. #1. Players should be able to hail passing ships and get a response to what ever the news is. I.e. some political strife between nations. A declaration of war between nations or several nations. Lets players know who they can attack and not attack. Nations sue for peace it should be so stated in the news of passing ships. for example like this. I'm in French Brig. I pass another French (NPC) and hail them. "War with Britain is over. Britain and France are now at peace." "Dutch have declared War against Spain" "Spain has discovered an island bla bla bla) #2. Lets get our ensigns flying on ships when were not in a battle. #3. If you go pirate, there should be a variety of pirate flags to choose from or... have the devs create/code the ability for players to create their own flag. #4. Sloops?? where are the sloops. Hope to see them. #5. When fighting, Ships (NPC) ships, if taken enough damage should choose to lower their colors. If a Brig chose to take on a Lynx, He could fire a shot across their bow inciting the enemy ship to strike their colors for example. #6. When my ship is hull to hull against another ship, the choice to board doesn't always come up, so instead of the (G) to board, it should be a key command for the captain of the ship to choose when to board or attempt to board not as a result of reaching certain parameters of the AI. I can't begin to count the number of times, I've rubbed up against cutters, lynxs and expect to see the (G) option to board and it doesn't pop up. When boarding action is prepped. As soon as both ships are side by side, I should be able to initiate boarding action. This would help prevent damaging the ship enemy ship hull or sails and lower my cost of repairs. #7. Give us some sea chanty music. #8. I was in combat with three ships. I was teamed with up against a British Brig. I attempted to tell my teammate that I would focus on the enemy sails with chain. But there was no way of knowing if my teammate was a bot or human. Come up with a standard color scheme for NPC captains and one for players. I.e. players are Blue names, NPC captains are Green. #9. Spruce up the screens while in port.. i.e. create some parchment looking edges to signs or put up some artistic interpretations of taverns, patrons and such. The blue blocky backgrounds leave something to be desired. #10. The ports... Governors... I hope to see governors issue letters of Marquee, the Governor's daughter to win over, to Allow players to influence port politics or even take crew and raid a port. Governors could send players on any number of missions, save a fellow captain, or search for a missing ship...(Pve content.) #11. I'm hoping the warehouses will work in future so that we can start storing stuff there. I know this is a alpha/beta version now but just something I'd like to mention Thats about all I got for now. Three days of sailing, got into some great battles, Oh that reminds me. I've had some issues with repairs. I had a boat leaking and initiated repairs for just 1 leak but to no effect. Might we also lower the cool down time to more reasonable time frame. plz. Ok now that is all I have. Again some folks may like and dislike.. just ideas and thoughts I had while playing for the last three days.

Well I tried several times to ask for entry into the game, sadly to no avail. Email not read, both in forums and personal email.
