accents

My fear is that this would need some sort of active moderation, as there are a lot of different languages spoken in the Naval Action player base. Even going by just the obvious offensive words, the list would certainly be longer than just words found in the English language. I think that using a list of predetermined names is a way around this problem and possible drain of resources that could be used in other parts of the development instead.

Is that a screen from a game? Tanbark sails on small ships maybe (that have basis in history), but I still don't think it should be on the larger square rigs. PotBS had coloured sails, and it made the game look worse. For me having customization limited to the hull appeals to both the people that want to make the ship personal and the people that want the historical immersion.

White was the norm thought, and probably by a large margin. Wheathered sails was probably common, and some yellowish tones of white would probably not be uncommon. However, red blue and green sails is something more akin to sails in the later part of the 19th century. If you have scources that states otherwise please post them. For me coloured sails would really break the immersion. I like the feeling of being in one of the paintings. That said, I am all for more customization of the hull.

Huh, but they did thought? Or am I missing something? Danish holdings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_West_Indies Swedish (rather small) holding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_colony_of_Saint_Barth%C3%A9lemy But yeah your point in that this is an historical game and not a strict reenactment still stands.
