Introducing the Tier 2 Crane - Coming in Our First Major Update!

Ahoy Captains,

We recently unveiled the new Tier 3 ships that are planned to be released with the first major update, and many players have shown keen interest in being able to operate cranes directly on their vessels.

We are pleased to announce that we will be meeting this demand with the introduction of the new Tier 2 Crane. This crane is designed to handle not only medium cargo but also the new large cargo types, making it the perfect tool for the more demanding tasks that come with larger ships.



Rigged on both the Tier 3 Cargo and Fishing Ship, the Tier 2 Crane is essential for those looking to enhance their operational efficiency and tackle bigger challenges. As we prepare for the first major update, this powerful crane will play a key role in making your fleet more versatile and capable, perfectly complementing the increased capacity of the Tier 3 ships. Get ready to elevate your maritime experience with the Tier 2 Crane!



As we gear up for the first major update, which introduces the highly anticipated Tier 2 Crane and Tier 3 Ships, we’re also hard at work preparing a minor update that will roll out before then. This upcoming update will include the co-op/company feature—an exciting new addition that will allow players to collaborate in new ways. You’ll be able to work together on the same boat, operate individually on separate boats, or even form rival companies and compete against one another.

Furthermore, the option to adjust wave height in both normal weather and storm conditions in the in-game settings. This feature will offer enhanced control over the sea’s behavior, allowing for a more customizable and immersive experience. Whether you prefer calm waters or towering waves during the storm, this setting will let you tailor the ocean conditions to match your desired level of challenge.



So stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to shape the future of Ships At Sea!

Co-Op Company

Ahoy, Mariners!

As you all know, the co-op feature was planned for Ships At Sea from the start. We’ve been thinking about how to make the co-op experience more engaging for you, and we've decided that the best way to do this is to allow players to come together with their friends to set up and lead a company in a multiplayer session. Imagine setting up a company, inviting your friends to join, navigating the seas together on the same boat or each on their own, and completing missions and tasks as a team. We believe this will provide you with the ultimate co-op experience!

Setting up a company will also be possible in single-player mode, allowing solo players to enjoy the same depth of gameplay.



We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this. Your input is invaluable as we strive to create the best gaming experience possible!
