I like these ideas in common. Really! But Devs, i think you ought to solve some issues simultainiuosly now: 1. Think how eleimanate the ganking for the damaged ships by "fresh" enemy ships after massive and port battles. 2. Deal with the current abordage balance with these ♥♥♥♥*ng exeptional marines, boarding parties etc when Trinco can capture even fresh ship of the line, say nothing of damaged one.
3. Think about multiple leaks when heavy ship collides with light or medium one (refer to abordage SoL by frigates). 4. Maintainance of user ships should drastically depend on rank and number of owned ships. It would be better for balance if any user couldnt maintain many ships at ports or at fleet due to bankrupt danger.
