Remove ship speed bonus from quality

It just gives too much advantage to more developed players over less developed ones. Instead ships could get extra HP from quality so pushing quality is still useful in that it would let you sail in deep water for longer.

Yes all ships should have equal speeds.

We did strongly consider removing the speed bonus, but decided against it mostly just because we thought it good that there are incentives to build more knarrs ever after the first one to optimize them. I'm not sure whether an HP bonus would be enough incentive to do that, but perhaps it might be. Will consider, I guess.

If tarsticks repair 20% regardless of HP, then increasing quality also increases the tar mileage. Could even add 1% of High Seas decay to all movement to make it matter even more?

Could have more storage with higher quality etc.

It would matter, especially for knarrs. And the high q ship speeds are retarded and should be nerfed.

Unironically ship speed should involve material type not material quality
