Lets be honest, most of us have Ship of the Lines over 60 attributes.
I think as a temporary measure, each point after 60 'attributes' should be an extra XX Hull Points on the ship.
In this instance, for a Ship of the Line I am suggesting 30 HP extra.
Lets say a level 10 Ship of the Line, has 62 attributes.
So 1350 would become, 1,410.
Another instance, a level 10 Ship of the Line, has 65 attributes.
So 1350 would become 1,500. If my morning maths are correct
Hardly game breaking and adds a bit more strategy whilst having a slight 'temporary' fix whilst admins can develop other things. Agreed this would be an indication to the ship having over the specified attribute counts; however chances are it would change battles even further & those with 60+ attributes out of the marina would not mind bragging about it some more.
Thoughts?
