Stiffness in traders

[SeaMist]

Can I humbly suggest that stiffness be removed as a characteristic of crafted traders. It makes some sense on a fighting ship, giving some stability to the gunners, but on a trader where speed is life it makes no sense at all. Personally I think all ship characteristics should be selectable as these characteristics would be built in deliberately by the builders.

But at the moment surely deselecting stiffness as a characteristic that no sane ship builder would put into a trader would be appropriate.

I agree. Speed/stiffness in ships should be selectable not random.

IRL stiffness is very useful in any vessel, and would be important for carrying heavy cargoes and sail in rough weather.
