I hate sailing..

[ohhmyylantaa]

So many people say that sailing and plundering ships is their favorite part of the game. I am not one of those people.

Sailing is slow. You have to wait forever to get to the ship, which probably turned away and made you chase after it for two minutes, and you have to wait forever just to shoot again (also the reason I hardly use my gun). Seeing a "sink # of Navy ships" quest makes me groan and grumble. If we didn't have those quests, I'd be a lvl 1 sailor. :]

So, how do you make sailing easier/less annoying? And also, can anyone tell me where to find certain levels or certain ships (or where to find that out) because I sail around aimlessly looking for 7+ Navy Galleons and whatnot.

Oh, and, I have only a Light Frigate right now (I like Poker, but I'm awful so generally that's where my money goes). I don't get much gold out of my expeditions, so will that change considerably when I upgrade my ship?
