Actually, it would be really nice to have to board EVERY ship. Even in SvS. It would also be nice to be able to "trade up" ships just like real pirates did. But with all those changes, the game might need a new name. Personally, I'd rather they even things out a bit in SvS and remove all the cheats, before they add any more features. I want the enemy health meter back and working.
I agree that boarding ships in SvS would be a great addition - although the captain should have the option of choosing to be a flag.

The cheats don't bother me so much as the quickness of a battle - just pour fury into a ship and it only takes a minute to sink even the largest ships. There should be some strategy involved and that means it should be harder in general to sink ships. Make the repair-while-sailing cheat a 'feature' and greatly increase the hull strength of all ships or reduce the damage or accuracy of advanced ammo (at least in SvS). If SvS battles took a little longer it would be mean you have to think about what your doing instead of just plunging in and blasting away.

Otherwise I like how the game is progressing and will continue to play (and pay ) for some time to come.
