Can't agree more.

This game should show some love to small companies or it will die eventually (at least official servers).

There is just one thing I wish - some kind of offline protection for ships. It even may be not invulnerability, but just significant HP boost. Because it's way too easy right now to burn any ship with flame sloop (or dozen of any other easy ways to sink any ship) when you are offline.

And also they should allow us to spawn on any bed in Lawless. 

They should allow to spawn on any bed in lawless, not just beds which were placed on raft/boat.

Because at this point lawless zones don't work as designed (at least as I understood this design) - temporar place to live for new players who are not part of big company with claimed territory yet. So it should be as this:

• new player spawned in Freeport;
• levels up to lvl 8 (max lvl in freeports) and builds/buys his first raft or sloop;
• sails to the nearest zone which is Lawless;
• sets up a small base to continue character progress.

But instead we have this:

• spawn in freeport;
• buy raft/sloop;
• sail to lawless;
• set up small base;
• die to lions/wolves/crocs/griefers/any_random_bug;
• spawn in freeport...

I think being able to re-spawn on bed placed on raft near the shore is actually exploit. I don't think it should be fixed, but instead devs should allow to spawn on any owned bed in lawless.

It also does twice less damage to naked players. No point in armor now...

They also nerfed firearms damage to naked players. Thus I actually don't see any benefit wearing armor, rifle and pistol. Since naked bowman with fire arrows will easily kill you. They move faster than you, they do devastating damage compared to you, they can shot 20 arrows while you reload your rifle... and NOW you can't one-body-shot them with RIFLE!
