SHIP IMPROVEMENTS:
captains cabin in back of all but the light sloop that can hold gambling tables for tortuga hold em blackjack liars dice and poker.
light sloop: no
light galleon: 1 gamble table
light frigate: 1 gamble table
sloop: one gamble table
galleon: two gamble tables
frigate: three gamble tables
war sloop: two gamble tables
war galleon: three gamble tables
war frigate: four gamble tables

you get to choose what kind of gambleing table you want in there.

you can also change in there.

you can not be attacked while one person is in the cabin. the ship cant move if one person is in the cabin.

you can also see your treasures in the cabin. the nine rouges would be hanging on the wall, etc.

there also would be below deck where you could see npc's manning the broadsides. and you could see the cargo crates or chests that you collected.

SHIPMATES POSSISIONS
if you have a crew, you assign them possisions. here they are

crowsman: goes up into the crows nest and has a swivel gun. automaticly tells you when an enemy ship is in range.
cannoneer: can shoot a special kind of ammo called dead mans shot that will rot away the enemy ship.
diceplen man: this is the only man who can kick someone off a ship or keel haul a character until the voyage is over exept for the captain.
carpenter: he can repair the ship in-voyage. kinda like the ship privateering. but not.
first mate: he can do all of the above and can kick people off cannons or teleport them to another cannon
