What Nuju suggests is interesting but the NPC ships in POTCO don't have much range other than the new Exped. Fleets.I do wish sea combat on POTCO was a little more grand realistic scale....Although... I just realized that Nuju has a point, if unfriendly ships would be shooting from a fair enough distance at you then a typical POTCO pirate ship has more than enough speed to get out of the way,and of couse we can fire back long distance already with deck guns.Imagine a new crew postion:Watchman or something and if he is a quick enough typer than he can shout when the enemies are about to fire,which is tricky in POTCO because the cannons will only come out for a moment and after they fire they stay out longer than before they fired,which is the opposite of the normal.(As far as I can tell real cannons would recoil back as soon as they fired,but not in this game,lol.)Therefore the telescope could help give the driver an idea of when the enemy just shot at his ship.Excellent thought Nuju,ye had me confused for a minute.
