Well George is barely getting the gold for a Brig again, how is he supposed to get a Galleon? He may needs some trick to increase his number of trade routes? Sry, did not test that myself yet so don't know how that works. Never thought about the reverse speed increase using it for getting the SotD loot with gally... sounds great to safe that much time there. I would always prefer the Brig over the gally in the view of a solo player. But i would also build kiting design for leveling and to avoid most damage. Also you can turn a gally more fast with handling sails if you fast open and close sails between ~30-70% or if you hold i think W(or S) and space together when speed is 0 while turning in one direction. The sails will fully open while you don't move forward and you turn a little faster. But remember that your sails are open and you go forward if you stop holding the buttons xD

@Teron Gray Hopefully they come up with a large library of modules/ components that can be swapped around to make ships much MORE customizable. It also opens up the possibility of giving the ships more authentic regional and historical design styles.. I hope thats where they're headed with this atleast, lord knows when I was anticipating the launch of markets i never foresaw the convoluted mess they actually implemented. So who knows, maybe it'll be a logical step in the right direction or maybe it'll be a ridiculous mess.

Some feedback 1 This ship potentially fills the gap between a Brig and a Galleon, so good job devs. However, theres a few issues.. a. Get rid of the squid tentacles as a purchasing mat. Probably lower the gold cost also. If you want players to embrace the ships your proposing in EA lower the entry barriers so more people can test them. If somebody goes through tons of effort and isn't happy with your new design they'll just be twice as grumpy... b. Get rid of the gaudy flair (the tentacles) on the front. I love the ship concept but the front end is ugly as hell and totally unnecessary. I apologize if the designer is insulted but I'm just trying to be candid. Sometimes less is more and I feel a simple Bowsprit on the front would be more appealing to most players. 2. In the future roll out more ships something like this and save ships like the Ramming Galley for inclusion with some related content. For example the Ramming Galley belongs with some type of Ancient Greek or Egyptian travel-back-to-ancient-history DLC. Good luck

I think that you may be going about this the wrong way. If you are wanting monetary compensation from GS for intellectual work, I truly believe you should contact the studio directly and apply for a job or solicitate your consultation services. I could be wrong, but I do not think that there is a precedent for hiring an unverifiable person from a forum off of a promise of an idea. I believe you said you had experience in the game creation industry, this will help greatly. If you believe you have a multi million dollar "Idea" that would work for any game. Well then my friend, you should take your industry experience and your idea and go make a game and get that paper. Don't even let a terrible studio like GS get a chance to fuck it up. If you believe in this game and want to improve this game with your ideas, then you should get on the public game forums and discuss them in detail. Get enough positive feedback and it will most likely get implemented in some way shape or form. However you will be the only person that knows it was your idea. Maybe some of us will know as well. Keep in mind that GS hasn't released any games yet. They likely have not turned any profit. Their team is small, and greatly lacking in talent when compared to almost any other game studio out there. What they DO have is a lot of ideas that sound really cool. What they DONT have is any proof that they can carry these idea through to fruition. I will give you my personal view on this. Ideas in and of them self are not worth anything. Even after being shared with a group and refined into a better idea, it is still not worth anything. Money is only made when an idea is acted upon and a product is produced and sold successfully. So let me ask you. Do you really have an idea that these guys can do anything with? They have yet to implement their own ideas in a profitable way.
