Bring WINDCATCHER back please!

[Nautical Nattie]

My windcatcher is 4 and i'm always fast when sailing. I haven't tested it but seeing as my leadership only works the first time then after that only adds the glow but doesn't charge skills faster in those 10 seconds or so, i wouldn't be surprised if windcatcher has stopped working too. But in SvS i'm always told to take the wheel and sail outta there to repair, so i'm guessing i'm still pretty darn fast hehe.

Ok, another observation of skills that do not work.

Leadership. This does absolutely nothing but look pretty.

It NEVER has any effect on my skills charging other than make them "pulse" on the screen like it is doing something. If its faster, its EXTREMELY marginal difference in speed (takes me longer to click on the skill... wasting my time).

Whoa.

Leadership always works for me. For example, FULL SAIL takes a minute and a half (or somtehing) to recharge. The nine hash marks around the circle show ten second intervals. If full sail is on the last THREE hash marks (~30 seconds away) and you hit LEADERSHIP, you can then do a full sail.

If you don't do your full sail WITHIN the ten seconds that leadership is glowing, it rolls the clock BACK and you have to wait anyhow.

FURTHERMORE: Leadership makes your crew's cannons recharge faster.

Must be something special about your pirate or how you use it.
I've tried using it before using skills.. (using skills while its active) Nothing.
I've tried using it immediately after i've used a skill. Nothing

Does not have any effect for me except a glow.
It has never once benefited me.

Tell me, how can a skill that stays active for 10 seconds recharge anything?

If they'd give me 10 gold for it at the shipwright, id sell it.

I press three to activate FULL SAIL. That pesky war sloop is still on my tail. Normally, I'd have to wait 90 seconds to do another full sail...instead, after only 60 seconds I press 8 (LEADERSHIP) then 33333333333full sail. (OK, about 65 seconds...still, better than 90 seconds.) Pesky war sloop is now back at Rumrunner's, while I am now close to Isla Perdida. Yay, Leadership saved the day.
