i think getting rid of spotting all together would be more fun, but thats just me.
That would make things interesting, just do away with the spyglass altogether.

Sounds like some sort of hardcore mode. No UI, no spotting, no drums, no position indicator on map... Only communication and skill.

No, captains chat can only be accomplished with tin cans and a string.  If you want to communicate you have to fly close enough to toss the can, once you fly too far the string will break and you'll lose communication until you toss over another tin can.

Line can also be broken by terrain, projectiles, and other ships.

too easy.... https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,357.0.html this is what you're looking for........ and to get this topic back on track, I find that I'm indifferent to the name change.... yeah it lets me call out a ship name, but I usually just call it relating to the position they are against each other (top, bottom, left right)

I till revert to that once everyone knows the shipnames.

This could revolutionize use of the Javelin Harpoon.
