  1. I was reading up on the new eco post and I couldn't believe it. If they had deliberately set out to kill the game, they couldn't have done a better job than what they have done with all these patches. I am absolutely confounded by their development direction, instead of working on Avcom, PVP encounters, Port Battles or even getting the basics like a new website/forum or even the bloody user content back up they instead messed with the eco which worked fairly well, introducing huge, sweeping changes with no documentation and it's completely screwed the game. 

  2. I'm not totally clear on what you mean. If you're asking if historical nations and factions (like the East India companies) will be in-game, yes they will be. I believe all the major European powers will be represented and there is a planned economy and explorer options. Additionally if you wanted to go pirate all you have to do is sink and capture friendly ships, and eventually nations will outlaw you, so there is your "rebel fleet" scenario.   

  3. I second the idea of night actions in a port, although I'm not sure what you would be attacking besides NPC ships, since players will have logged off once in port. But it would be an excellent place to implement the mortar towers, as well as the fire ships that were discussed in another thread. Sneaking aboard an enemy ship and then sailing it out right under the nose of the enemy would be very exhilarating. 

  4. I would like to have a skipping effect to the cannons, a skilled gunner might be able to skip a shot or two through the enemy's hull. 

     

    It would also be nice if there as an audio cue besides the whistle to let you know your broadside had reloaded. Someone shouting it out perhaps, I know I'm often zoomed in on my scope and not paying too much attention to the reload meter.

  5. Those are certainly troubling figures. I was aware of the issue of ordnance such as land mines, grenades and bombs left over from various wars, but chemical  weapons in the seas seems like a much more significant issue, I'm frankly surprised I haven't heard more about it.
