Calculating distance
RearAdmiralZill:
Forgive me, as it's correct that all blocks aren't equal. Smaller maps like duel (and maybe paritan now) have blocks that equate to 500m. Not written anywhere that I have found, but it's fairly easy to gauge if you know the ranges of the guns and compare.
Calico Jack:
Collecting this here as it's pertinent

ahh interesting ......
The reason I got onto this was I vaguely remember hearing 1k on lobby chat on this as a nooblet and then tried to track it down, and see my google-fu failing badly.
Imagine:
Nah, no numbers needed. I like the feel of hmmmm, ok, they should be in range just about now, let's check. I'm sure for gunners it adds a skill level, too, being able to eyeball distances.
Captain Smollett:
That's true, but I do like the idea of precision. Guess I'll be playing with a ruler now and calculating distance based on the size of an enemy ship. Surprised I never thought of that.
New captains tool proposal - Ruler
HamsterIV:
I would prefer Muse just made the blocks uniform, we don't have to have A-E on each map, some could be A-H and Some could be A-D.
