Weather Realism

[Xolotl]

Yesterday/Today had a +5 ship weather, indicating a nice tailwind.

Yesterday had stormy/heavy rain as the global weather.

Something doesn't quite add up. Ideally the -ve ship weather numbers should accompany -ve global weather numbers (light rain, rain, heavy rain, storms), and the +ve ship weather the +ve global weather.

I agree with that.
Also it is absurd that ships/scouts etc can travel at enormous speed right across a huge land mass while other scouts etc originating on the land mass just travel at snails pace. It is totally ridiculous and unacceptable.
Firefly - you should have waited until you could code your program to know which pixels were water and which were land so that you could implement something sensible - and next time don't have such large land masses
