Should POTCO be more realistic?

[Slasher]

Well, I know for one thing, realistically, I don't believe it sounds like a sword clashing when you slice somebody. I understand if that is off the deep end but seriously. Also, shouldn't you be able to go into the Captain's Quarters and under the ship? I mean, relating to Davy's idea with weather, you could go into the cabin and look at a map to figure out where the storms are. Also when you plunder a ship, wouldn't you take that ship, and not sink it? I mean, I understand if it was already looted or a Privateer ship, but I don't believe you just sink ships! Couldn't you make a fleet for pirates?
