A navigator option would be pretty sweet, and make things that much more realistic and tis a shame it wasn't included as a feature in the game. However I was thinking perhaps as a compromise to our ever growing wish list of features some of our resident modders may be able to work on a Navigator mod, which would factor your Navigators fatigue, experience and morale into plotting calculations which could result in errors in course and speed so as to let you drift off position sometimes by small amounts and sometimes by large amounts. It would be a far higher degree of error in heavy seas and under storm sails and this would add a whole new dimension to the sim. What you would actually experience is your position on the map updating periodically, exactly like a contact report and the frequency and accuracy of it would depend on all the above mentioned factors. I think that would be a fair compromise for those who wish manual nav was possible, and thoughts??
