If you don't want us to tame. Give us tools that can collect an obscene amount of resources (and maybe just a horse to carry all that resources).
Other things:
-Make ships cheaper, faster and can carry more.
-Get a purpose for the Brig please.
-Base defense so good that I still might have a ship when I log on after work.
-Longer spoil rates in trough and cheaper crew maintenance on land will keep us at sea more.
-The base building mechanics sucks (Can't give a solution, so just thought I'd slide it in here).
-We need a snake and shark repellent.
Thnx
