At the moment, the difference between the different types of encumbered is unclear. Ships, animals, players, it's almost guesswork as to how much you can carry before it effects speed. It would be nice for the weight icon on the UI to change in color with each stage. Gray - Fine Yellow - Movement Slowed Red - Encumbered etc

Both the red and the green colors for friendly and other claims are not as easily visible as they could be. Either changing the colors or having another filter on the menu that highlights them much better would be great.

I fully expect Early Access games to have problems but this wasn't a server issue, this wasn't an Early Access launch issue. This was a conscious update added to the server. Direct action from developers costs players 100s if not 1000s of man hours and nothing. 0 acknowledgement whatsoever. Why the hell were they ever allowed to attack boats of offline players? It's ridiculous.

There is absolutely zero bonuses or benefits to having items, structures, entire ships destroyed while offline on a PvE server. People can't loot the boxes, they can't take anything from the boat. Players are losing days upon days of progress for no reason at all. I understand PvE and PvP servers a very different and need to be managed accordingly, but turning on tons more AI enemies and having peoples ships destroyed overnight after going through days of lacking resources, it just breeds frustration. I had a great few days in the game, really enjoyed it. Night #1 our base was destroyed by another Company luring an Alpha Snake to our base, lost everything. Night #4, after 3 days of gathering materials, our Schooner was sunk while we were offline. I have no desire to spend the same amount of time gathering those resources again. I won't be playing again in the immediate future due to the frustration of loss and repetition.
