Personally, im starting to wish i didn't adjust speeds to be realistic at ahead standard. Regardless of what I had intended, everyones going to go around at 2/3rds and exploit the flaw in design. So, what the hell, "all ahead harbor speed at 2/3rds for teh win!"

I know what you mean.

The whole fuel use-range issue bugs me (and not to forget battery capacity either), but what can be done about it really? Since the game uses a flat earth, the distances are off, and the weather never allows the wind speed to go above 15 m/s. These flaws seem to be unfixable.
