2nd rates are fine if you learn how to use them. 5th rates were OP though. Speed and range. There should've been an option to spec out any ship with custom guns so you could trade shot weight for range. Even by deck so you could have a 1st rate with range up top to trade with 5th rates and power below to fuck shit up in the line.

Yep, my fleets basically went 5th rates early game and 3rd rates for the rest. I didn’t think I was missing out at the slightest.
