First thing I noticed: ships with full sails should have a different icon. It should be indicated in all windows and all status reports (dragging window, right hand side summary of ships, move over windown, etc).

Suggestion:
A master control window would be great. Could be located on top of movement windows. One command switches to full sails/battle sails for all ships, lets them all turn one way, etc. Would be nice to have for bigger scenarios.


Good point and good suggestion.

I think that the current interface is reaching its limits - with the addition of so many additional controls/info for the Advanced version, it is probably time to rethink and rebuild the whole interface.


Love to see these new rules blossoming and love to see the interest and chatter!

Two items come to mind for me as "improvements" to youplay - 1) if we could have a "targeting" choice for our ships, it could be even a drop-down menu of choices to be made the turn you put in your moves, or it could be yet another phase to slow the game down with a "skip targeting phase" option.
2) I don't think ships that have zero crew should score points for either side, as in the original game there is no "surrender by manpower". However, an un-manned ship should be free game for ANY TBP or OBP from any adjacent ship, regardless of "ownership" or grapples or fouls. This because there is no one home on the target ship to resist the transfer or boarding.
