THIS IS A GREAT GAME. I've got the basics down, so far. My main concern is ship to ship combat. There to many steps to engage enemy. I have a ship with five guns and two shields. A pirate did a lot of damage before I could return fire. It would be nice to streamline the system. Maybe have a "General Quarters" or " Battle Stations" button that assigns the crew to the different systems automatically. It would also target the enemy at the same time. Another button to open fire (all guns) and to hold fire.

I'm having so much fun with the game. It would be better if some of the steps could be taken out.

Keep up the good work
