Since the game is broken now and has been for a long time how about you put the game engine back to when we still had the New York server, to me seem to have way less problems then.
Or back to when the name was changed to Bismarck, game engine 1.285 or something like that.
Just add in all the new ships and revert back to the old game engine.
This way you can just work on the major bugs and get them fixed before you slowly start adding in the crap that has broken the game and have made it unplayable at this time.
