I've been quite enjoying playing around with Sunless Sea now that I have access. I am curious, though -- Can anyone with more experience/skill (or just the Echoes) tell me if any of the upgraded ships have a better turning radius? While I've been getting used to general handling of my vessel, it feels so slow to change headings that I never want to run at full speed (let along over-stoking the boilers) because I just end up aimed at the middle of the next island. I often find myself turning off the engine while I slowly turn to avoid overshooting or collisions, especially when I come up on the opposite shores from the dock. It also makes escaping from enemies difficult; unless I'm already on an inbound leg, I can't turn enough to do more than steam off deeper into the Underzea and hope there's nothing worse ahead. (Tip: there's always something worse ahead.) Maybe I should capture one of those Corsairs I see spinning doughnuts across the waves outside of port, and send my own vessel back as a prize when I've won....
Other than that, I've been quite enjoying my time on the Sunless Sea; the difficulty is punishing, but reading here I see that it's recently been ramped up, and so I'm looking forward to seeing it creep down a bit as things continue to improve. (Also, that's probably a wise decision from a development standpoint, rather than introducing a bunch of new people to an easy version that keeps getting harder.)
