They just stated keys being sent out tomorrow 30dec due to holidays I assume, so looks like should get them sooner this round. Good Fortune! Marik

Been in some battles where player disconnects for whatever reason, voluntary and involuntary, and the ship stays there and you have to go back and sink it before being able to end the battle. As a lot can't be upwind, can take a lot of time to go back and finish it, especially for some trips. I would like to have a timer that removes the player/ship from the battle if disconnected - say 7 to 10 minutes after this has happened. This should give them time to get back in the game if it was an involuntary disconnect (as happened to me twice yesterday), but not make the battle drag on if they don't want or can't get back in. Just a thought... Marik

I was wondering about that too - not seen anyone lose any yet either. As a side note, would also like to see yardarms also be able to be damaged, detached etc due to damage. Always remember seeing paintings etc with lots of sail/mast/yardarm damage, maybe artistic license but seeing ships sink with all their masts etc intact just doesn't look right somehow... Marik
