adding Scurvy

[MalikNightboiler]

I think scurvy can work in this game and I will explain how. I believe every 20 minutes or so, 0.5% of your crew will go due to scurvy. To prevent this there can be a book or upgrade in which it help with vitamin C such as lemon juice. Or you can make for port in which the timer would reset due to the fact that you have fresh supplies. This would be a interesting idea to keep players on edge, and make ways for ports along there journey. It would be funny to see a ship out in sea slowly loosing crew due to scurvy and they are deep behind enemy lines so they cannot make port. I think this might discourage people from going to far into an enemy port as over time they will loose people. I also think said upgrade/book can help in melee combat as they will not be lacking in vitamin C and will have more energy, so possibly a slightly faster reload or better boarding actions would be cool if the players want something a little in return for just preventing scurvy.

Another idea for attrition could be using the salt combined with provisions to make salted pork ect. If you have it in your inventory, maybe it can reduce scurvy by a few percent when the timer comes. 

Lay any thoughts down pls, and the timer and % does not have to be exactly that.

Kind of a good idea i think.
