Captains

Patch have been deployed today 22th July 2022

Changelog

• Thickness now works universally and does not depend on damage of side planking. Which provides predictable usability of wood during the whole length of the battle (not only when your HP is intact). Previously thickness dropped for some types of woods on low HP.
  
• Battle sails Yard power bonus have been increased from 50% to 75% to allow better turning on yards when using battle sails.
  
• Quest master tiers have been lowered based on player requests.
  
• Wind sail curves for all ships have been improved. All ships will now be able to achieve ship passport speeds. Ships with abnormal wind curves have been fixed (e.g. Trincomalee).
  
• Canister/Grape damage have been increased by 10%. Canister raking damage has been increased by 10%
  
• Stern bow structure penetration angle have been reduced. Which means you will only be able to damage structure when shooting bow and stern at narrower angles.
  
• Reload times for 4lb and 6lb guns have been increased by 5 seconds
  

Some bugs were fixed as well. Ships will gradually lose speed on autoskipper if they got the speed bonuses from manual sail positioning.
