I've waited so long to try out a tech demo for this and while I do love what you guys have done so far, there is a few things I would love to see in the game as well.

Here is a few things that I personally feel should changed/added and fixed:

1. Smoke effects similar to what you guys could do in CryEngine. I don't know how capable Unity is but as of right now, firing the cannons feels very arcade'ish, almost like "Caribbean!" (The Steam early access game).

2. While the realism of the different commands of the ship is great, it will be annoying having to change from the helm to the cannons to even fire at anything.

3. The sails are really static at the moment, I do see that you guys are working on cloth sails and I really hope they will be added in future updates.

4. The overall camera when you are on the ship is more centered on the main mast compared to the ship it self, making the camera angles sort of weird, I feel the overall center of the camera should be on the main ship and not the masts.

5. Ability to zoom in and out when you are on the ship would be very much appreciated as I feel it's a must in games like this.

6. The sea reflections are hanging behind the camera movement for some reason.

7. More ship models for the tech demo would be lovely.

Thats the stuff that I've found and what I would love to be added! I'm really pleased with what you guys have done so far and I will support the development of this game until it releases!
