I see this update as one of many of the updates to ship combat.

We've had SvS, Queen Anne's revenge, Navy and EITC SOTL fleets and now we have Hunter ships. Besides SvS, this IS the biggest Ship Combat update/upgrade we've seen in a long time. There are a variety of Hunter ships that go after you which make this a good update for higher level players and encourages crew battles at sea.

While ship battles don't seem to have the amount of replay value as land battles, this is a step in the right direction. I do see more similar updates like this in the future, only having to deal with Skeleton ships and flags ships. We already have living ships going after us, the next best thing is the undead. Not to mention, there is a logo in the files of a Skeleton skull with a purple hat which is something like logo_flag_evil. I see this as the next update in the game but there's no way to actually tell.

POTCO is moving forward slowly and this is one of my favorite Ship combat updates. It definitely gives you something to look forward to when you're at sea.
