Thanks for the update and great photo. Naval Action is rather in a down time for me at the moment. The developers in their efforts to 'balance' the game have gone totally bonkers on AI abilities. I know many folks who have outright rage quit the game after losing very expensive ships to an AI that can sink you ships without taking any damage themselves. Unless they tune back the AI and damage issues I won't be doing much other than crafting and enjoying the sight. Missions, even in large groups, can be disastrous.

The worse part of this is any new player coming in is going to suffer a huge disadvantage against the AI abilities. Being beaten by AI repeatedly is not how you bring new folks to your game. I hope the developers realize that average gamers are likely to move on when faced with 'simulations' that are too difficult to accomplish.
