I just made that change you suggested. I personally don't care about keeping score as I always seem to be the poorest player around by far anyway. I can see the old system being a problem for players early in the game when money is tight, but once we get going it should not be a problem. Well it was for me last game when I had to outfit and repair a bunch of battleships. $16 million...........poof gone!
As for salary vs divide the plunder and LoM, that is all good stuff that seems to be working pretty well.
It has been a long time since I have had to use reduced food rations and double rum rations but I'm sure new players use it a lot. When your food gets washed overboard in a storm and then you miss the island you were trying to get to things can get tight.
