THERE IS NO FUCKING POINT IN OCEANIC EXPLORATION!
You need to fucking realize we HAVE NOT found another way to India. And even if we did, after all the exploration we've done, it would be way too far away to send anyone and expect them to come back alive. We will NOT be traveling to trade cloth for spices anytime soon. Perhaps we can build more ships or even a vacational resort or something around the tip of Africa but other than that, it's pointless. No need to waste money that could be better spent researching alchemy... astrology.. ETC. As of now, there is NO point in putting that amount of money into oceanic "exploration"
