So your probably going to have to just deal with renown on or off. Most people turn it off anyway, everyones more or less, "Gimme mah stuff without the BS!" personnaly i leave it on because i feel it reasonably emulates aquisitiion, and the fact that you feel like you upgraded something.

An upgrade doesnt feel like an upgrade if you get it for free. By removing renown, you may as well just equip your boat with everything you want from the get go so the instant you get it in game. I've done that too, and it' feels shallow.
And that's maybe one of the pluses of this game that there's a lot of freedom on how to play it. I feel relatively fine with the 0 renown (as there's no other option due to hardcoding as you rightly mentioned), you feel fine with the way it is, and we all feel fine with this great game.
I just wanted to know really what others think about this issue and how they play the game.
