I find this game addictive and continue to play due to the game play at its core. I had hopes for this game but have learned to just enjoy it for what it is and see what happens. I've had my moneys worth so anything positive from this point on is a bonus. It is an early access game after all. Dev and admin responses only served to reinforce that and further enlighten me to their way of thinking. I would not expect anyone to manage expectations only meet them or not based on what is promised in development notes. Something which can continually change based on the feedback you agree with from player base. As for reference point. I only used this game and my experiences within it as a point to gauge progress. Whether it be art, ui or game play.

General polish. Would this include overhaul of game menu appearance? Wondering how or if any of these changes will affect labour hours? Still missing lots of suggestions from the things you would like to see posts. Ow still way to sterile. Crew management sounds promising. Used to limited crew management in silent hunter series and wanted more. Crew experience increasing gun reloading times etc would be nice. More to lose though. Even in an old game like silent hunter 3 seaguls near ports could be heard when flying overhead. Shame to add them without the sounds to match. I know it wont happen due to the nature of the ow. Its a shame though. So much could be done, to be done but so little time before release.

Glad we have spyglass in OW but still have to click on ship with mouse to see which nation it sails under. Ships flags in ow would be good. I love the seagulls but cant hear them or is it just me? OW is still so sterile and we spend so much time in it. Bird is the word seagulls as response to ow requests great but if that's as far as it goes A little port dressing for atmosphere. Ship hulks. Just google image HMS trusty in English harbor, Antigua by Geoff Hunt to see what i mean. Of a day when you sail close to or into harbor you can hear activity. Hammers on wood, repairs, anything. Of a night would be nice to sit off coast or sail into port to the sounds of the tavern for instance. Laughter, singing. Just loud enough for atmosphere. Doesn't need to be legible so can use for all ports and would be easier to do. Volume directly related to distance. Would be nice to see ships coming into port sporting the scars of last battle. Even if its just player attacked AI. More weather. Rough weather. Storm missions in open sea for instance for those of us who want to do them. I hope ow menus will eventually take on the look and style of records kept of the time period. Crafting app for those of us at work or out and about. Only after final release though.

I know its British but i love the look of the Boyne a 98 gun ship launched in 1780

I always thought the Temeraire was called the saucy Temeraire by its crew.

Achievement pennants would be nice. Not loads, just ones for major achievements or goals. Maybe you could take the pennant from a player during a battle only to lose it again to another with the right skills. Top players would fly limited and much in demand pennants. Can only hold for limmited time so no back to port with ship forever. Scattered storm missions at sea for people who wish to sail them. Something I haven't seen yet but wish I had. World seems a little sterile so stormy weather, rain or fog is a pleasant change. Would be nice to see ships under repair or at stages of dismantle in coves or on beaches at major ports. Not animated or anything, just for scenery/atmosphere purposes. NPC's towing captured, damaged enemy ships or hulks between ports from time to time. Hull fouling incurring speed penalties unless maintained in port overtime. Ability to name ones ship under build or rename at port. Captured ships bear the name players gave them just to rub it in or can be renamed if wished for a price at port.
