    Default ships ride too high above waterline

    The ships in the previews ride very high out of water, as if their holds were empty
    (no ballast).

    Because thats what the majority of people expect them to do, plus, it looks cool.

    True, but that's a very minor flaw in realism, compared to the previews showing square rigged ships sailing directly upwind in battle! Or ships fighting with all sails furled, against other ships running full sail. So far, it looks like arcade game sail combat to me, based on the previews. But I'm holding out hope that the final game is better.

    I really don't see this.

    There are a couple of shots in the Navy trailer that look a bit off but in most of them the ships seem to be floating about the right spot.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    I say two things:

    1) Game aint finished
    2) Minor details < less bugs
