"Drop anchor to stop" :'(

    I like to play on open crew to try to meet new folks and I have seen the "Drop anchor to stop ship" tutorial message a few times. Can it be changed to "Raise Sails or drop anchor to stop ship" ? Thank you for the support and fun game!

    @xcaptrenegadex I can see why it's annoying to have new players drop the anchor too often, but raising the sails to stop a ship right where you want it to requires a lot of practice and trial and error. It might be a little much to have that in the tutorial for players that are still trying to understand the bare basic mechanics of the game.

    Just some food for thought. It's not a bad suggestion.

    @xcaptrenegadex I wish you to find many good folks and having to play open crew.

    If you have to drop the anchor to stop then you aren't sailing correctly. I wish that they would put a lock on the anchor for players under level 25!

    @wickedlystrange have you played the game?...
    Yes you drift a good deal but you can stop exactly where you want if you do it right.

    Raising sails to stop is a more advanced technique than simply dropping anchor. I think it's something that needs to be learned in game rather than explained in the tutorial. If you're in a crew with a less experienced sailor, consider it a teaching opportunity. :)
