Solution to the instant repair cheaters

    In regards to the ship repair cheat going around, here's my suggestion:

    1. For the time being disable the ship restore feature in the game. This will put an instant halt to users of the instant repair cheat while not interrupting the playability of the game.
    2. Now with ship restore disabled use this time to rework the way ship restore works- Ship restore should require a boat to be at 100% health to activate and should only update the cosmetic look of the ship. It should not repair existing holes/mast/wheel/capstan.
    3. Enable ship restore function once it's been reworked and tested.

    This will have the temporary effect of not being able to visually update the look of your captained boat to be "fresh", but the result is permanently minimizing this unfair advantage. From my experience, many of the players using the ship restore are sinkable without that cheat. But with the cheat it makes it near impossible on adventure (unless red sea), and near impossible in hourglass battles- only by sailing the other boat out of bounds while killing the players aboard, who likely have many other cheats active, and not letting them anchor can they be defeated. This change will instantly give legitimate players a strong chance of beating their cheating opponent.

    Please share.

    Thank you,
    Bleu

    I’m still having this problem till this day.. I play a lot of solo sloop HG and will have the upper hand in the fight, hitting way more cannons than the opponent, making sure the full side them.. I will go down to rep a few holes and next thing I know they fire themselves over to board.. I will then fight them off for atleast 1-2 mins while they are in the water trying to board.. expecting their ship to sink any second because I know I’ve just full sided them and they somehow are fully repped. Again I have over 4K hours and 1k ally so I know what I’m talking about and know how long it takes to repair… just so irritating
