I have not seen this mentioned, so I'm mentioning it now. On "Admiral" difficulty I am frequently encountering enemy captains that regenerate health faster than I can remove it. About 50% of them. I waste a LOT of time boarding ships only to find out that it's impossible for me to ever win the boarding combat, due to this bug. And I do consider it to be a bug.
And that's another issue I have with this, which could otherwise be a very good game: there is WAY TOO MUCH breaking of the programmer's own rules on behalf of the AI in order to set the difficulty. Attention, programmers everywhere: if you can't handle programming difficulty settings without breaking your own rules, find a new profession! Make space for somebody who can. There are plenty of programmers who want your job. Go work at 7-11.
And sorry for the tone of this comment, but I spent over an hour wrestling with trying to get "registered" with this damn board. It seems the programmers of this forum software think that customer service emails should be sent with the Display name (only) and not the login name which is a pain in the ass when you forget your login name. And what's with all the security settings on this forum anyway? I would think that for games as unpopular as these are, fans would want to encourage participation on forums like this. Instead you give potential members a massive freaking headache? Whatever.
