[h2]🌟 New Features[/h2]
  • Special Offers: Special offers last for 30 days at a port or shipyard and provide substantial bonuses. These offers can include increased contract prices, decreased upgrade costs, or discounted new ship prices. Don’t miss out!
  • Crew Member Filters: Find the best possible crew member for your ship with our new filter options. You can now filter crew by Level, Salary, Nationality, and Age to better match your fleet’s needs.
  • Ship Behavior in Storms: Passing through extreme weather can cause damage to your ship. You now have the option to select the ship’s speed when passing through a storm. Higher speed will save you time, but lower speed minimizes damage.

  • Hide/Show World Notifications: You can now choose which world notifications to display on your screen, allowing for a more focused experience.
[h2]🔧 Enhancements and Fixes[/h2]
  • Bank’s Interest Rate: The Bank’s interest rate is now displayed next to the installment cost, making financial planning easier.
  • Readjusted Ship Event Randomness: We’ve adjusted the randomness of ship events to prevent the same event from occurring simultaneously at multiple ports.

We hope you enjoy these new features and improvements. As always, thank you for your feedback and support! Keep sailing and optimizing your fleets in Seaorama: World of Shipping.

Season 3 Updates - New Features and Improvements

Ahoy Seaorama Captains! ⚓️

We’re excited to announce the launch of Season 3 in Ranked Mode, featuring a significant update that enhances the overall gameplay experience
[h3]🌟 New Features and Improvements[/h3]
  • Country Benefits and Limitations: You can now select the base country for your company, impacting taxes, bank loan limits, and costs. Each country has a rank that influences these values, and ranks can shift based on in-game events affecting the country. This means your company’s conditions could improve or worsen based on global changes!
  • Change Base Country: A new window allows you to change your company’s base country for a fee, which is calculated based on your company’s overall value.
  • Region-Specific Manager Contracts: Managers can now have contracts limited to specific regions, making global analytics more impactful and region-focused.
[h3]🔧 Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed issues with Manager Specialization not functioning correctly.
  • Fixed the number of ships managers can control, ensuring proper ship assignments.
  • Fixed the "Assign All" button functionality for better ease of use.
[h3]⚙️ Quality of Life Changes[/h3]
  • Removed the Ethnicity Requirement for non-ranked games to streamline crew hiring.
  • Adjusted the used ship age to better align with the price of new ships for a more balanced market.
  • Rebalanced scrap return values for ships to better reflect their condition.
  • Introduced a page system manager for smoother navigation and management, making fleet control more efficient.

This update brings new strategic elements and fixes to improve balance and gameplay.

Patch 2.1.3 - QoL Updates!

We’re thrilled to announce that Seaorama: World of Shipping Version 2.1.3 is live! This update brings several fixes, features, and quality of life improvements, many of which were suggested by you! Here's what's new:
[h2]🔧 Fixes & Optimizations[/h2]
  • Managers: Managers will now ensure ships are maintained at an overall condition of 90% or higher, up from the previous 50%, ensuring that your fleet remains in top shape.
  • Ship Events: Adjustments have been made to balance the occurrence of ship events (looking at you, Windlasses!) even on fully upgraded ships with experienced crews.
  • Crew Resigning: The resignation countdown will now only start when a ship is idle and will reset with every trip. Ships with low-morale crew members will be unable to take new contracts, but they can still use the "Add to Queue" option to move to a nearby shipyard for repairs or upgrades.
[h2]🌟 General Improvements[/h2]
  • Sell / Bid UI: We've added the ability to add/subtract 10M in the UI for faster input when adjusting amounts.
  • Filters: A new "Hide Filtered Ships" option has been added to the main screen, allowing you to hide selected ships (such as Managed ships) from the map.
  • Facilities: Just like the Ship Upgrades tab, there is now a single button to enable all facilities at once, streamlining the upgrade process.
  • Contracts Flat Fee: By popular demand, we’ve added a filtering option for the Flat Fee. You can now view the Flat Fee of a contract as Total Fee, Per Day, or Per Mile, depending on your preference.
  • New Ship Notification: When a new ship is ready to sail, a notification will now appear at the center of your screen, replacing the smaller notification that previously appeared on the right side for a more prominent alert.

We hope you enjoy these new features and improvements. As always, thank you for your feedback and support! Keep sailing and optimizing your fleets in Seaorama: World of Shipping.

Fair winds and following seas,
