I'll update this post with some more info about the bolded new features, as they sound like key points of the update.
First off, this is what the meant by updated ship GUI. Noticed it when I set sail for a repair pic, but didn't get it due to a DC.
Next, the Crew HUD. I didn't notice anything fancy about it, doesn't seem to tell you
where or
what they're doing, but does help out a bit when watching their HP. There is also a crew icon button, which didn't make much sense to me. If some people would like to get on and meet in the top ocean at tortuga, I'd be glad to test this out more.
Here's a picture of the new animation, as long as another pic of the ship GUI. The new animation has your pirate pull out a hammer, then kneel down and start hammering on the deck. As for the ship GUI, it's a very nice upgrade. While we lost the ability to rotate your ship to see damage, you now have a damage meter for the left side, right side, and back of your ships on top of the overall damage meter.
