Now, first of all, I'm not complaining about more content, just about
something that has changed in frequency because of the new content.
If you are running a path in your ship from point A to point B, and
somewhere along the line, a random pirate fires a cannonball, or
uses assault magi to launch a fireball in your direction, you got a
(fighting) flag on your ship, and speed is reduced drastically. Now,
this used to be a somewhat less common occurance. Now however, with
many more pirates, and the fact they roam alot more makes this much
more of a pain in the ass. Could this be looked into please, maybe
only get the fighting flag if you have actually used the 'combat'
command at your helm to attempt to damage the other ship, instead of
just getting fired upon. And if you want some "real life" logic
to go along with this (which is almost always a bad idea in this
game, imo) if a pirate ship were to fire on my boat, I'd be doing
everything I could to get the fuck outta there rather than sticking
around and fighting it out.

Anyway, the new content with the ships is really neat, but some
things should be looked at as holdovers from the way things used
to be.
