I am big fan of UA age of sale so I am trying to test the Naval Portion of the new UG Revolution game. The biggest issue so far is not being able to determine ship size and strength on the main screen before deciding to engage or not. Just knowing how many ships are in the fleet is not useful. Ships back then could scout out the size and strength of the ships before deciding to engage or not. If you decide not to let us see what ships we are going to attack we at least need a way to RUN TO PORT, Or ability to Disengage to live and fight another day. EXAMPLE: I have 7 ship one 6th rate four 7th rate and two smaller ships. I saw a 2 ship fleet and decided to attack them only to find out it was a 3rd ship of the line and an unrated ship. If I had know it was a 3rd rate I would have avoided the battle all together as there would be no way to capture or sink the ship even with 7 ships under the rules of UA Age of Sail. I did try several strategies to sink, capture and even run away from the ship but all were big loss (waists of time). The best outcome I achieved was running away and ended up with 4 ships but this took about 45 min of running away on the battle board with 7 ships saved only to get to the main screen and have 3 of my ships sunk because there was no way to quickly Disengage or run away from the ship (got lucky and the big ship just moved away).
