  1. I'd like the F keys to select what sails to trim/adjust. Like the gun decks are. You could toggle control of them on and off.

     

    I'd REALLY like to see reefing of main sails, but I imagine this is all too much for the scope of the game.

     

    I look forward to the improved fore and aft sailing characteristics that are coming up.

    Ships like these were a real factor in control of trade. The tactics used with and against them, I hope will be represented in the open world game. Great for hit and run opportunism, especially if you have a nearby friendly coastal battery to run to. If oars are implemented, huge benefit in light winds as well.
