Basil, this is awesome stuff you've posted. Just some random thoughts -
On the Ferret / Viper issue, you're never gonna' get a good haul by plowing through those mosquitos ('but, I might find spices' - no, you won't.) and try pulling beside one in a War Galleon... often times your broadsides will OVERSHOOT, LOL.
Something you touched on - one of my own commandments is to Trust Your Gunners! Trying to twist and turn to use broadsides will only make them miss and deck guns do a lot more damage - especially with a trained gunny work it. Let the enemies come to you.
One of my favorite Solo tactics is Serpentine. My initial broadside will get an enemy in pursuit then I simply turn in an S-pattern to bring broadsides to bear - fire - then turn hard over to switch sides. Excellent for taking down big boys with a regular sized vessel.
