Ahoy! π
Let me suggest 2 quality of life features for the game please π
1st: Improve the overall speed of every boat. Not by much, but do it... Enemies Also. I know it's more "realistic" this way but it's a game, it should be a little bit more active/fast pace imho. Fastest Ship is like 24 kts, if it's like, 30, it's way better. Of course, we can use mods but, it's not the same.
2nd: ATM we have 4 speed "gears" to go forward. I would suggest 3+1. Let me explain: The first 3 would be the same as now but the 4th speed, would be ONLY for sailing. Combat mode would cancel it. In this 4th "gear", the speed would be vastly improved so we can sail and explore a bit faster.
Of course, both suggestions can be put toggether and I believe it would be very easy to implement and will improve the combat and exploration by a lot.
Bonus tip:
I know this is not Assassin's Creed Black Flag but a RAM would be very appreciated also!!! xD
(and mortars also... xDDD)
Cheers mates!
