william kid is a pirate wannabe
To some extent I am playing Devils advocate as I also hate chasing for long periods, more so as a gunner than capt. as I'm just standing there. I also feel that porting or logging is the most cowardly thing you can do and as I stated above think you should get something if the ship you are chasing does so. Maybe a speed penalty is needed to some degree but you have always been slowed down if you lost sails correct? (I'm not trying to be smart lol don't remember.) I just don't think my mast should be built out of balsa wood as it now seems to be. Maybe that is the result of people aiming for the sails more now that the speed penalty has been installed or a change in game settings I'm not sure. I do know that people seem to be losing sails alot more often and a 20 count penalty makes it impossible to get away from the crew you just sunk with the newly repaired ship if you are near the island.
