I understand why it was done and other games do have similar
mechanic. Just feel like the captain should be at same risk of
death/injury as rest of his crew so a physical representation
of him on the ship could only help the role playing aspect.


But it is not a major issue. Just an idle wish. I could always
rename a sailor with my name and pretend he is me and if
he dies, so do I and my captain's career. That would work.
