It is too bad they removed the smaller Flagships - they were good 'exercise building' ships for lower levels to get used to Crippling, Hooking and Boarding - and because they gave a little more 'money' (usually with a chest) they made a good run...
Had they just 'moved' the spawning points and the 'end positions' of the Bull and the Greyhound that would of made it more challenging (their starting positions together at Devils Anvil was too easy - and then the Greyhound and the Kingfisher sailed together just off PR? That was a mis-calculation).
Higher Level Players never bothered with them (for the most part - no REP in it... and a Chest and a Crate from a Bull when a Higher Player could get a Royal Chest or Two off the Man-O-War or Colossus plus decent REP meant you didn't want to waste the cargo hold with these smaller ships) so they would of been good for the Lower Player Experience...
They should of never been removed, just positioned better *shrug*
