But it still has the map mode, doesn't it? If we can't have a proper paper map where we could plot our course and so on, I'd like to get rid of it entirely.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Of course it's still got the map mode. Not everybody liked to use DirectSail.
In fact, since usually I test rather than play, I welcome to worldmap as a quick way of getting somewhere.
But you can simply choose to not <i>use</i> the worldmap and it'll have the same effect as removing it, no? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

But not the wave heights? Or is it just storms that don't occur randomly and don't end when you're in them?

So I dare say that the developers of CoAS weren't quite aware of what we did.
We did actually TELL them about the DirectSail mod and they claimed it was impossible in the game engine because you'd have to load all islands at once.
Of course we did it anyway by reloading to the next island instead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

In other words, you'll get to see what you'd need to add to CoAS. Of course that included all Build 14 improvements on that mod, but the Build 13 version worked too.

That means most people who disliked small ships for that reason now might find small agile ships to be more welcoming, for me this takes away a lot of the idea behind the idea of sailing since thats what makes you feel like you are actually sailing when you try to slow down.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->There's probably some inertia code in the ships_init.c file.

:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> You can in fact ride out a storm indefinitely using the Light Repair perk, which doesn't use any resources at all. The catch is that your ship's hull has to be 10% or lower to use it, and it only repairs up to those 10%, so it's a bit of a balancing act and you have to savescum, since your ship has a tendency to explode even when not carrying any explosive cargo at all. But it can be done, especially if you have a sturdy ship and/or carry planks and use Quick Repair in such an emergency (which brings you up to 60% really quickly, but consumes a lot of planks).
