Hello,
I'm obviously a big fan of this game and am looking forward to its eventual release next year. One idea I had thought of, which the devs may or may not have, is the prospect of having the ability to perform Boot-leg Turns in your ship. For those who don't know what I'm talking about; in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, a young captain Jack Sparrow outmanoeuvres Captain Salazar by quickly having his men throw ropes around a small outcropping of rock in the water, allowing the ship to be turned on a tighter axis, to then escape. This move could be used for escape purposes, re-positioning (for counter attack, healing, or better wind), or any other ways players could think of. If you think this could be implemented to add a new layer of strategy in ship combat for skilled players, please comment below or up-vote (or whatever you do to make it more popular).

Best regards
