High Priority Balancing: Levelling, Income and Fight Difficulty

So how is the fighting difficulty at the start of the game versus when you are more in it.
@Grey Roger do you have some Feedback or @Mirsaneli maybe?
How are the block chances now?

I have. Even at the beginning it's not as hard as leveling in COAS or Pirate's Odyssey. Blocking with some weaker weapons can be difficult, but I think overall, especially when you are a high level, it isn't so difficult. I do have encountered some larger ships which have strong captains, but I always managed to kill them without losing more than half fps. I also think that pistols should be stronger in this game. Also, I don't know why, but after being higher level (15+), I'm rarely being attacked by civilian bandits in towns... And those who attack me are not nearly strong as I am. I kill them with two swings.

What Difficulty Level are you playing on? That is really very relevant to know here. ;)

I think I rebalanced them a year ago or so. Most of them are balanced on the logic that they should NOT be one-shot-kill weapons.
Their damage was based on their 'minlevel' and the HP that a character of that level would likely have in the game.
See attached Excel file for the details of what I did at the time.

if I might suggest for future updates if there is a possibility to make it harder for making money? as well as availability of goods in stores.. i have it disabled in options and still i managed to get in the first hour most of the perk bonuses as well as a superior spyglass, best bullet & gunpowder bags..
