My recollection is that combat missions are a trap. You'll pop into one of those soon in your cutter and find yourself facing something like two brigs and a privateer. Just find a place in the open world where lynxes spawn.

At first I liked looting the sinking ships. It teaches good sailing.
But holy hello kitty, it is the most inane and infuriating experience possible.
Inch inch inch inchinchinching towards the sinking hulk, waggle the camera up and down frenetically, looking for that X prompt, hoping the game doesn't decide to say 'hello kitty you, no loot button today because reasons'...
You have indeed captured the essence of this game.

I think the graphics make it seem a bit like sliding on ice rather than water - hence the need to tweek the graphical effects.
We also need improved representation of the bottoms, since you can get "grounded" when a good depth of water is still displayed under the ship.

There is no winning. Only ganking (doesn't count as winning) and losing. You're just choosing the method of your losing.

But let's be honest, this kind of screening is totally absurd. The Swedes were already in the port, so they should have been able to join from the port.
Yeah, the defender has a disadvantage of having to sit inside the inner circle and wait for the timer to tick down. The attacker has freedom of movement and a far larger join area.

well i dunno all the mechanics, but can't other players from the nation hostilities have been started against start tagging ai fleets in the area to combat the hostility? I may not completely understand the mechanics...
I think hostility missions are usually much more efficient at the rate of generating hostility than sinking random AI fleets. That's part of the reason we have them now.

why aren't they finding those hostility fleets and jumping in their battles?
The answer to that one is pretty simple - because if the enemy is doing hostility missions then they're organized and prepared for a big battle at that time of their choosing, and most likely your clan is NOT organized or prepared for a big battle at that random moment.

As per your description you have taken the time to develop a beautiful Caribbean map with historic port locations,distances and ships from the age of sail. Adding Russian,Polish and Prussian only drastically shifts NA away from the history and immersion you've attempted to recreate and represent.
Even without them it doesn't bear any resemblance to historical events. The game is not a historical reenactment.

There wont be anyone left to adjust.
Older Players got their Ships and Crafters. So they wont care.
And New Players even now can barely pay the prices for crafted Ships.
Thus they will just leave due to the insane grind needed for buying a Ship from a Crafter.
Clans usually give ships away free to contributing members

Their Christmas dinner!
At lest we will eat good food and drink good wine, won't we?
Interestingly I have a bunch of fresh made pizza dough ready to go in the fridge for a big holiday weekend of pizza making. mmmmmmmmmm
But I also have lots of wild rice, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and acorn/butternut squash for a nice hearty stew, and plenty of white wine to go with that.

So how do I get larger Quantities of stuff like Teak Wood which are not Produced in any Ports ?
Teak spawns in certain ports. Find one where it isn't all hogged up by buy contracts.

I never range shots. It puts up a cloud of smoke that obscures your target so you're basically providing a smoke screen for them, and then by the time the shot has registered both the enemy ship or your ship have already moved so the information is old news and it may be too late to fire the broadside at all.
