Cannons of the Deep (CotD): Upgrades and Treasures

[Basil Dreadflint]

OK, I guess I just don't get it.

I tried COTD on my PC today. All I get is a singel line of entries that tells me my current gold, Ship stauts, Ship and Missions.

When I go on a mission, it offers me the choice of sailing to another island, or Hunt and battle locally.

The only ship I have is a light sloop. Every ship I meet is MUCH higher level than that, and no matter what I do, Attack, Parlay, Let the crew handle it, or Flee, I take maor damage and it ends up costing more gold to repair the ship than I ever earn. I started with 100 gold, and am now at 14. (59 gold to repair a light sloop??? Ingame it doesn't cost 1/3 that much, even if the light sloop has been fully sunk!)

I see others talking about attacking Kings Head, getting music or other items as drops, Treasures, ETC., but I see nothing in the game for any of these. Am I not getting the full game and all the options??

Does anyone have a screenshot of what the game interface should look like?
