The ship combat screeenies still don't look right to me. Too many ships fighting with neatly furled sails, when that's the engine that makes maneuver possible. You'd furl 'em in rough weather, but in that case all ships would be fighting that way. You wouldn't have this mix of some ships with sail on, and others fighting with bare sticks. Look at any of the great paintings of sail combat, Trafalgar, etc where all the ships are flying as much sail as possible, for tactical advantage. Maybe the screen shots are set up this way to show a clearer view of marines on deck or something, but it's still a bit worrying.

I hope there's more to sail combat in this game than eye candy.
