Suggestion Different Ship Speeds

[Roger_ Gunshot]

Currently, there are essentially two ship speeds. Full sail, and not moving. My idea is that if you want to go at full speed, you continually hold down the W/Up arrow key until you reach the full sail limit. You would control the speed by pressing W or S/Up or Down so that you would be able to circle an enemy ship more easily. Pirates of the Burning Seas has a sailing mechanic similar to this, if not identical.

so basically the sailing system from uncharted waters online?

i mean i dont feel its needed but sure why not

I like it, it would be a little more interesting to play with finding the right pace in ship sailing. I think it has the potential to be harder but better.

I do have to admit, the ability to reduce speed without completely closing up the sails would be very nice, but it should also be explained by in game mechanics. Maybe only half the sails come down? But that may require a complete redo of the ship's rigs.
