Hi, I'm really enjoying this game with 22,000 miles already boated. I'm hoping you can improve these things:

Increasing the hull health never seems to do anything for me, every time I boost the hulls of my ship, it seems to have no impact on my survivability, with everything seemingly doing more damage to make up for it.

For example, My Man O' War has 18400 hull, but an event hit it with 11000 damage. At every stage of the game, events seem to do ~50% of my hull damage, which makes upgrading the hull at all feel pointless.

I'm not sure how the odds for this should work, but I still haven't encountered any ghost ships, while I have 5 Man O' Wars. I'd like there to be a mechanism to get better odds to find one. I think some kind of pity system would be good for this. Either it can be simple and increase odds over time, or it can be items or voyages that increase odds, but only unlock if you haven't seen a ghost ship in a long time. I like this better because you can work in some cool lore surrounding that.

This one is a matter of preference, but I think the trophy items should add value multiplicatively, so 1.01^(number of items) to make getting them feel more impactful, as currently the value of items improves very little as you play.

The last thing is that I'm starting to find opening the loot boxes a little tedious, so I'd love to see a way of opening multiple at once.
