Eeeep. I may have done an invalid test last night. Trying it again today is not giving the same results.

To test: I launch a ship and take hull damage from an NPC, then land and repair ship fully. I then launch the light sloop from Port Royal and nudge the ship forward then back up as close to shore of Port Royal as I can. I carefully do no zoom the view out, nor change the compass. I aim the mast-top of my light sloop to line up with the middle "T" of the word "Tortuga" then wait for my clock to get to 59 seconds, then press the up arrow once. End time is when Tortuga's "Drop Anchor" appears. If any friends sign in or out during that minute and a half, I start test over. If any NPCs shoot at me, I start test over.

With or without windcatcher, that run is coming in at 87 seconds today on TEST. It must have been a fluke, or a friend or guildie coming online during yesterday's test?

Anyone else able to confirm or deny this? Was I just seeing what I hoped beyond hope to see?
