Thanks for playing! Really appreciate that. Sailing is definitely one of the areas I want to keep tightening up, so that's helpful feedback. Glad you see the potential in it!

Thanks for checking it out! The game definitely opens up pretty quickly. Best place to start is to focus on your starting ship and crew rather than trying to understand everything at once. Head out from port, take on some manageable encounters/bounties, earn some coin, and start improving your situation from there.

The big loop is basically: sail → fight/trade/work → earn money → improve your ship & crew → capture/recruit more ships → build your fleet.

Don't worry about mastering every port option immediately. A lot of it will make more sense once you've spent a little time at sea. Appreciate the feedback too — making that opening clearer is something I want to improve!
