Thanks for the QOL on equipping/removing boat gear, but...

You guys need to get with the program here.  How can you put work into this wharf UI screen but once again glance over some major annoyances.  The ease of equipping/removing boat gear is nice from this update.  However, now that you guys have "done what you need to do" for this screen, are we to wait another 2 years for the most basic of fixes needed?

How do we "repair" our boats?   Let's take a look at this mess of confusion.  I believe horses/wagons are similar.

First, let's take a look at the screen you get from talking to the wharf manager, and not clicking anything in the screen yet.  

Notice my screenshot.  You MUST HAVE YOUR BOAT CHECKED OUT in order to repair the equipped ship gear (cannons, mast, figurehead, plating).

Next, we'll click the "Wharf" button from the wharf manager.  Notice the next screenshot.  You MUST HAVE YOUR BOAT CHECKED OUT in order to fill the Rations and Cannonballs.

Let's "Check In" our boat.  Now, we have 2 repair "options" to choose from.  You MUST HAVE YOUR BOAT CHECKED IN.  The first option is called "Repair".  This fills your boat's Durability.  That's all it does.  It does NOT repair the equipped boat gear.

The next option is "Repair Damage".  It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  It does NOT repair your boat gear or your durability. 

So, why is this such a mess?  Naturally, I'm used to it because I've been sailing for 3 years.  I've heard from countless new sailors who have no clue how to repair their boats.

Why does it take me 3 repair options, taking out/checking in my boat, plus a non-functional "repair damage" option, to get my boat ready to sail again?

SIMPLIFY THIS.   There should be only 1 button to push to repair your rations, ship durability, and ship gear durability.  And make that 1 button work whether the boat is checked in or checked out (at the pier).

It's at times like this that I really wish they would play their game.  Then they might come across redundant and crazy systems like this.

They seem to like simplifying, but they simplify the wrong things.  They leave clunky stuff, and remove things that actually make the game diverse and interesting.

I'm going to stop blaming the devs.  They do what they're told, and probably work themselves to the bone.  I wish the bigwigs actually gave a darn about this game.

All the stuff they added to the screen does not fix the real problem it call sailing and it seem they do not want to do anything about that.

Not sure if it was changed but originally each time your boat was destroyed it would accumulate 10% damage (below defense in your screenshots). At 100% damage you can't use your boat anymore. The repair damage thing would reset that to 0% for 10mil silver per 10% damage.
