Notice the Man o' War in this picture.
This is on high graphics. Before the update ships did NOT look boxy from far away. They looked pretty decent, but now... I want to ask who thought of this. I don't care if it takes away lag, I want to see
real looking ships.
From Sven Niscadae in another thread.(after going to the panda 3d website I actually saw many posts on their forum where people asked if the memory leak would ever be fixed)

If Disney wants to combat performance issues, they need to seriously look into fixing the memory leak that their Panda3D games have had since they engineered it. There's really no reason why this game should be taking 50-70% of a computer's CPU when the same computer can run a much more graphically advanced MMO while taking only 20-30%. I don't really have too much hope for that solution though. ToonTown Online has been plagued by the same memory leak since its inception. If you contact Disney, support is likely to say to just restart the game or close any other open programs. Not a good solution, imo.

So... why have they been wasting time downgrading graphics instead of actually work on trying to fix that?
POTCO would be great if they didn't have bugs like this. So wouldn't it make more sense to be working on upgrading graphics and having more options as far as graphics?
With the new update a "new" fog system came out. Why can't be turn it off, because it looks hazy. I'm so picky when it comes to graphics, but I'm sure some of you are, too. So why Disney?
Come on, work on upgrading graphics and fixing that leak Disney. POTCO and toontown both have potential, but if you constantly put performance before graphics, the game is going to look ugly eventually. Fix that leak and then you won't need to worry about making ships boxy when they're far away.
That's just my opinion, though.
P.S. Just shot a ghost ship. No sounds for when the cannon balls hit it. They went right through the ship, but did damage.
The graphics stayed boxy until it was a war ship away from me. The masts moving is cool, but it's not realistic. One mast even jumped from the ship when it went off! If you're going to work on cool things like that, don't do a muddy job...
