This was one of my more hated issues. I still never take friends due to the effects this all had. I like it how it is now at least in comparison to how it was.

I covered the ground rules when poeple would port to the ship non stop, with I only steer the ship. This really became the biggest issue, while you shoot sails, and set up a ship for broadsides for higher rep. With someone always taking the wheel during some point of this process, directing the ship straight into trouble.

I was never so nice as you all appeared to be, you broke this rule, and took the wheel, it was the same result everytime. Full sail to the colossuss and board it, and watch your ship become empty to go sailing again. This is harsh, you bet. It sure cleared up the issue for the most part though, with nothing else we could do about it.

As for kids, I have two that play, they know the rules or follow rules they get when on others ships. They don't then they get booted off ships as well. Everyone has their own ships they can take, kids or not.

Only thing else bad to this is the chat system that won't let us chat. Your ship can be sunk by the time you try to tell someone (I have one rule you don't take the wheel and run off with the ship). Having to try to say that 4 -5 times with changing words around because the word wheel is filtered, has been worse than people running off with your ship.
