Make "Depower" consistently only react to "T" please

[Puchu]

This might seem like a small issue, but it annoys me every single fight. 

 

 

Currently the "Depower" works like this:

 

T Depowers sails

T Empowers sails

When at less then full sails, then W empowers sails

When at full sails W does nothing to Sails

 

So when im trying to go to max speed from depowered full sails then i have to press T because W does nothing and when i want to go just a sliiight bit faster from slow depowered to battle depowered i have to press W and then T again because then for some reason W also empowers my staisails in that case.

 

This is very inconsistent and i get confused by it every fight.

 

 

Suggestion:

Please make "Depower" and "Empower" only react to "T" (or whatever you choose as hotkey) 

 

That way you can raise your main sails while stilll leaving the stay- and jibsails depowered without having to click so often. 

For the start of the fight i would suggest to have them default "Empowered" so that new players dont have to know how to press T.

 

This should be easily changeable and it would make sailing a lot more comfortable and logical.

The feature is there so when people like you go to chase some thing they do not forget to re-power their stay sail and jib sails.

So if i want to go chase something from depowered full sails I am less likely to forget to re-power my stay sail and jib sails even if im used to W making them allways go up?

 

Just make it consistent. If "W" is supposed to allways make the stay sail and the jib sails "powered" then it should also do so when at full sails. I just like the suggested option better.

there are also other bad things in sails management... just go from full sails to stop and again to full ... you'll see that some sails will be closed and reopened in an unnatural way. i mean that's not go from 100% to 80 then 60 ecc up to 0% of ur sailing power... sails have different position in different modality:

half sails (80%) have some upper sails closed compared to full sails, instead battle sails (40%) have the same sails opened.. it's a bit confusing...

so in a combat situation where u want to lower ur speed from 100 to 0 u will see sails opening and closing nosense.

 

do u guys have noticed it too?

Keep bringing it up; I showed the devs how to fix it.

I think OP suggestion makes sense.

[ajffighter86]

It is frustrating when you intend to slightly adjust your sails and then auto-repowering gives you a boost of speed you don't need.

[Bramborough]

+1 to OP.

• How is it inconsistent... T depowers... ANY command including T used after that changes sail state and overrides Depower... seems Very Consistant

[Puchu]

Unless you are at full sails depowered, then "W" does nothing.
