I've had the chance to try this game for several hours, so here is one issue I've came upon, other from those already being discussed here:
All my auto-trading merchant fleets were set to cautious, still they regularly came under attack.
That's allright, but sometimes they come after my sloops with galleons and brigs, still I have to fight (which equals to 15 minutes of boredom, fleeing from the enemy with 2 knots speed), or use automatically resolve the battle, which always meant my merchants would sink.
There needs to be either:
1. a button, which resolves the battle, implying your ships actually flee not fight, and retain the curent auto-battle button too.
2. make transports choose retreat when engaged in automatic battles.
I feel this game's got potential, it's only up to the devs to patch it up now (the game is having a rough start though).
