Some, but not all. If you want to read them all as specific situations instead of examples, you certainly can, but I'm not sure that is a fair take on it.

IMO absolutely NOTHING should 'work around' intentionally programmed safeguards, like being in battle, now perhaps better coding to determine if the pirate is truly in battle could be implemented though. There is a purpose for this safeguard however, and it is properly implemented, and no option should circumvent it. I would consider that a glitch that needed to be fixed if it did.

I very strongly disagree with your assessment that it is properly implemented. I understand the safeguard and its intent. But the 5-10 seconds after all nearby enemies are defeated is superfluous.

Having a hotkey for each island would be very inconvenient to me, actually quite a nuisance. Having a teleport key combo to pull up a list, would be handy. But I would much rather them give us the ability to select our own keys/binds for various functions. I guess I dont see any reason to make the game "easier" to play, i'd rather they focus on making it more "fun" to play.

OK for you...sounds like a reasonable preference. You personally would not be required to know nor use the hotkeys. I don't recall suggesting that the current teleport methods should be eliminated. But a hotkey for RETURN TO PORT OF CALL would help a lot of people. A drop-down list would also be nice, but not nearly as helpful. Know anyone that has never been stuck on a ship's loading screen?

I don't understand what prompted your final sentence at all. But this thread's suggestion centers around getting un-stuck more easily...the less you are locked up in the game, the more fun it is.
