[h2]Additional Rules[/h2]

• Port Battle ship limits are based on Battle Rating (BR), not ship rank.
• For example, in Port Battles with a BR limit of 1450 or 2975, you can bring any ship with a BR lower than Wapen von Hamburg (even if it’s a 3rd rate ship), and higher than Mortar Brig.

• Players can join a Raider Port Battle up to 10 minutes after it has started.

Captains,

The following changes were applied today, May 15:

• Improved NPC ship pathing across the Caribbean. Enemy ships will not try to sail close to dock in most cases. Captains are advised to venture deeper into sea to find targets.
  
• Fixed contract sorting: contracts are now sorted by creation date instead of alphabetically.
  
• Reduced contract duration from 15 days to 3 days.
  
• Fixed an issue where active contracts were not shown in the Shop UI in certain cases.
  
• Fixed a bug that displayed an incorrect overload message during player-to-player trading.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect item count to be shown in the Shop after a purchase.
