quick question, has the seafaring mechanics changed in the past 4 years? ie just fleets and not crews on ships?

sadly no its still either park in a big boat in the middle or a epic kite fest as i call it im only 2 years (this will be my third year ingame) plenty else has changed broke the econ (well to an extent to where the current small population is having difficultys to maintain)
destoryed accuracy(made it better in some cases so where you dont jump in a pvp battle and get one shotted at 800 yards by 4 first rates)(happened to me once)
they readded the old ships again from treasure ilse and in chests
they are currently working on getting the usercontent up again to(flags and sails) and the fourms are up to

I haven't been able to play POTBS in a while, but I like the game. With the econ thing, they messed it up alot. I experiment with the econ on the test server making ships, but i end up buying most of the stuff i use for it or finding it from fleets. I was doing a little bit of econ on Antigua (mainly making cannonballs and other smaller ship building parts) until they changed the econ around to where everything had to have its own recipe.

I really like the game the controls on land are just really buggy, I so much as tap the arrow key and it rotates my character 90 degrees. The economy is probably one of the most interesting ideas that I've seen set up in a game like that, but its pointless and takes too much time for any profit, I try to hit those treasure fleets and such with my clan for the big hauls, I had a decent ship though the name of it I've forgotten, I really would've liked to see more from this game because they hit pretty hard on a lot of good ideas but without the resources to implement them.
