Other fixes
The following gameplay fixes and improvements will be deployed tomorrow 1st June 2023
- Important: Fixed a bug that reduced damage to structure when it was at a very low level (it was sending damage to non existent masts). Now ships with very small line of structure will lose it normally, and ships will sink and no longer interfere with combat.
- Important: NPC ships no longer start with their guns loaded.
Sail and Mast damage
- Lower sections of masts will be harder to destroy on battle sails and in general
- Top sections of masts will be easier to destroy even on battle sails
- Rigging shocks through sails will require significantly more precise shooting (more hits required)
- Rigging shocks through sails can be inflicted even on battle sails (but harder to achieve), to provide more tactical options if your enemy only using battle sails.
Other fixes
- NPC resource deliveries (iron, coal, oak) will increase.
- Ship Auction will not show deep water ships in shallow water ports.
