Ship Customization Additions?

The thing I wonder about having any room built inside a ship that we can walk in and do whatever is if it can really work. Not a problem on land whenever we enter/ exit a building, but at sea? Islands don't move.

We have been use to seeing pirates walk about on top of a ship's deck. And the only time we are inside a ship is when we fall through it after we killed those enemies on board a flag. Have to teleport to someone in order to get out but while swimming around in it you can see the gun ports and broadside cannons. From my standpoint, its easy to picture the below deck room. All sorts of items would be viewed and one could fire their cannon from there. I would think the lag would reduce for those pirates still experiencing problems when sailing. Being in a room like that would be easier for them since they use non-nVidia/ ATI graphic cards. There would also be spots to make repairs as well.

So, could it still work? It would be awful if not laughable to see certain glitches where these rooms pop in and out of these ships while sailing and cannoning. I wouldn't mind personally if that would be a known occurrence especially in Full Server or huge concentration of ships doing battle. As long as it works and it's not creating more server lag, I can live with it.

But still, can it work while the ship is moving? Can pirates enter/ exit without fail while the ship is moving? I personally believe Captain's Quarters are always locked and no one has access to it until Captain permits it. Can't let pirates play in there while the ship is under attack! lol, but Below Deck is good to leave open. It lets pirates use that area instead and maybe some sort of purchase allowing us to have more pirates on board would be added as well.

Being a student of history, and having written articles for several history magazines, I'm stuck with knowledge of the inaccuracy of these POTCO ships.

The brig is the largest ship? Howcome? Brigs were smaller ships, not used in a fleet, more often used for patrolling and in-shore work. Frigates were larger ships, the largest below a ship-of-the-line. In fact, they were actually rated as 6th-rate (the lowest rating) battleships, whereas brigs were not rated at all.

Frigates had three masts, not two. Further, I have never seen a picture of a sailing ship that looks anything like the POTCO frigate. It is unrealistic and frighteningly UGLY!

The Tally-Ho type warships are proper frigates, not ships-of-the-line. It might be interesting - but probably unrealistic for the Caribbean - if POTCO did actually include a proper 2-decker 64- or 74-gun ship of the line. Or even a 50-gun 5th-rate. Just as long as the pirates can't get their hands on them.
