Captains,

This is a reminder that starting Monday, April 28, clan reservations will be disabled. Any players who have not yet created a character using their reserved clan tag will lose their reservation on that day.

Additionally, the reduced clan creation cost will be reverted. The cost will return to 250,000, up from the temporary 15,000, starting Monday, April 28.

Make sure to act before the deadline.

Captains,

You can easily judge which ship you can take into a battle by looking at Port BR:

• 325 BR - from Lynx [Min BR 13] to Le Gros Ventre Refit [Max BR 40]
  
• 1000 BR - from Lynx [Min BR 13] to Le Gros Ventre Refit [Max BR 40]
  
  
• 1450 BR - from Mortar Brig [Min BR 15] to Wapen von Hamburg [Max BR 120]
  
• 2975 BR - from Mortar Brig [Min BR 15] to Wapen von Hamburg [Max BR 120]
  
  
• 3300 BR - from Mortar Brig [Min BR 15] to Duke of Kent [Max BR 353]
  
• 6000 BR - from Mortar Brig [Min BR 15] to Duke of Kent [Max BR 353]
  

Port Battle ship limits are based on 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 of Hamburg (even if it’s a 3rd rate ship) and higher than Mortar Brig
  

Captains,

The following changes were implemented today, April 25:

Increased Hold Capacity: All ships that previously had less than 280 units of hold capacity have been upgraded to 280 units.

Reduced Wooden Chest Weight: The weight of the Wooden Chest has been reduced from 500 to 90 units, allowing for more comfortable looting during Raid Port Battles.

Chain Shot Adjustment: Chain shots will no longer damage sails and masts at distances of 1250 meters or greater.

Increased Doubloon Rewards: Raid Port Battles will now yield more doubloons.

Market Storage Update (Experimental): Rare woods available on the market are part of an experimental change enabling increased production storage.

Doubloon Sell Limit Increased: The maximum number of doubloons that can be sold in a single transaction has been increased from 1000 to 2000.

Captains,

The following changes were applied today, April 23:

  Slightly increased the amount of doubloons dropped when sinking second-rate NPC ships in the Open World.
  
  
• Module Interface Update
  Module information cards now include the module’s group and weight.
  
  
• Combat Changes
  Slightly increased grape shot damage.
  Increased mortar damage and reduced required crew.
  
  
• Boarding Improvements
  Reduced the likelihood of NPCs reacting to last-second command switches during boarding:
  
  • First and Second Rates: 75%
    
  • Third Rates: 60%
    
  • Fourth Rates: 50%
    
  • Fifth Rates: 25%
    
  • Sixth Rates: 10%
    
  • Seventh Rates: 0%
    
  
  Slightly reduced the impact of crew loss differences on morale during boarding.
  
  
• Consumable Adjustments
  Reduced the weight of hull and rig repairs from 2.0 to 1.25, allowing players to save more hold space for other consumables.
