The key to the left of BACKSPACE on my keyboard is "=" but pressing shift at the same time produces "+" instead. I don't hunt for the shift key, because I don't have to. If I use the "+" on the numeric keypad, that works, too. (But I very rarely do that.)

That isn't the case any more and is just as annoying as when you had to immediately set your boarding rights when launching a ship to not include public...

plain and simple it should stay wherever you left it and is really annoying to have to reset it in svs.
When they had auto-compass adjustment off, it was awful. Every time I was on land, it was set to sea-view; every time I launched, it was still stuck on close-up/land view. Absolutely horrible - if they bring that back, they need to do so with something in F7/Options that says NO WAY, or "save sea zoom only." Frankly, I'd be happy if they just fixed the minor problem it currently has, with flagships not zooming in when you board, (then zooming back out when the enemies are defeated.)

With the minor exception of the Black Pearl, there is no need to ever use the medium compass setting (debatable even in the BB.) I'd like the zoom to be reset all the way out, whenever I'm on a ship, zoomed in all the way whenever on land or on a flagship.


So anyway,

Anybody on test, does the compass still needs to be reset in SvS whenever you launch? (I.e. an enemy ship next to you, appearing on compass as BLUE until you reset it with ===---.)
