Rigging in front of gunports

[Batman]

Today I noticed two gunports on the Victory that have Rigging infront. Firing Cannons woul be very hard in real life if you have lots of ropes dangling infront of your cannon, I guess.

This is a problem on a lot of ships, the chasers often have sails in front of them too.

They should damage the sails if they're in the way imo.

 

I think I read somewhere on this forum that the angled cannons near the bow of the ships were more effective in the chase role. I hope the devs consider adding a special toggle for those guns someday.

It's the first time I actively noticed it. I wonder why you don't notice it when building the ship.I mean, you build the hull, then the rigging. I think I woud be like "Oh, there is a cannon port,  I cannot put rigging infront of it. Damn,  I must have made a mistake somewhere."

Thank God this is just a game... otherwise this might be a problem.
