Hi h.sie & Stiebler,

yesterday I had an idea that might be a nice addition to the weather mod: lower waves in the home port.

Since many years players complain about the silly high waves in harbors. Now that you learned how to control the wind speed it might be possible to force lower wind speeds when the boat is in port. (IIRC, Anvart uses the 'state' 'in home port' for his pennants mod (the 'state' also controls whether the crew uses the binoculars). Since the wind speed close to land is always 6m/s (as far as I know), there would not be a big jump from storm to low waves).

I don't think this is a really crucial mod idea, but depending on the required effort, it might be a nice addition to a future weather mod.

Cheers, LGN1
