Bring WINDCATCHER back please!

It is slower than it used to be. I think they just lowered the speed of ships in general, shrinking the percentage anyway. 5% of 5 is less than 5% of 4 and what not.

My Sloop used to be a fast ship. Now it's tiresome.

Um, that's exactly why I measured it with different pirates - one level 40 mastered sailing. And a different (new) pirate with level 4 or 5 sailing.

They didn't simply slow sailing down (although it seems they did that also.) The expected MINIMUM difference for one test was six seconds - measured actual difference was ZERO. On another test, the MINIMUM expected difference was ten seconds - measured actual difference was again zero.

Windcatcher is completely disabled right now. Could be just a programming error, or something nefarious (given the SvS exploits, I'm inclined to think it's the latter.)
