scuba soph: and you would have to maintain your ship
no cattle: eeeeeeeeeee

no cattle: SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS
scuba soph: and when crewmen died in battle, you would have to pressgang new ones in port
no cattle: :D
scuba soph: and when you capture enemy ships, you earn money for repairs
scuba soph: and if you pressgang shitty crewmembers, it negatively affects your ship, but awesome ones improve it.
