Captains,

We are aware of the technical issues on the Test Server. The problem is under investigation.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

[h3]Update[/h3]
The test server will remain offline until the daily maintenance time

Captains, following changes were deployed today, March 26th, on the Test Server:

Port Battles now have two distinct types for each ship size category:

[h3]Shallow Water (6th-7th Rates)[/h3]
Balanced Port Battles – Allows a mix of different ships, e.g., 25 ships with small BR (Lynx) or fewer ships with higher BR
Max BR Port Battles – Allows 25 ships with high BR

Balanced Total BR - 325 Max Total BR - 1000

Min allowed ship - Lynx
Max allowed ship - Le Gros Ventre Refit

[h3]Deep Water (4th-5th Rates)[/h3]
Balanced Port Battles – Allows a mix of different ships, e.g., 25 ships with small BR (Hercules) or fewer ships with higher BR
Max BR Port Battles – Allows 25 ships with high BR

Balanced Total BR - 1450 Max Total BR - 2975

Min allowed ship - Mortar Brig
Max allowed ship - Wapen von Hamburg

[h3]Deep Water (1st-3rd Rates)[/h3]
Balanced Port Battles – Allows a mix of different ships, e.g., 25 ships with small BR (3rd Rate) or fewer ships with higher BR
Max BR Port Battles - Allows 25 ship with high BR

Balanced Total BR - 3300 Max Total BR - 6000

Min allowed ship - Mortar Brig
Max allowed ship - Duke of Kent

Additionally, Raider Port Battles and Port Battles against defending NPCs have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

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

• 325 BR - from Lynx to Le Gros Ventre Refit
  
• 1000 BR - from Lynx to Le Gros Ventre Refit
  
  
• 1450 BR - from Mortar Brig to Wapen von Hamburg
  
• 2975 BR - from Mortar Brig to Wapen von Hamburg
  
  
• 3300 BR - from Mortar Brig to Duke of Kent
  
• 6000 BR - from Mortar Brig to Duke of Kent
  

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 deployed on the Test Server today, March 25th:

• Fixed a bug that allowed modules of different sizes to be mounted on a ship
  
  • S modules can now only be mounted on 7th and 6th rates
    
  • M modules can now only be mounted on 5th and 4th rates
    
  • L modules can now only be mounted on 3rd, 2nd, and 1st rates
    

Captains, following changes were deployed today, March 21st, on the Test Server:

• Adjusted and improved mast colliders for all ships to improve demasting (was too hard before)
  
• Adjusted mast HP for all vessels
  
• Adjusted hull thickness for select ships
  
• Reduced thickness bonuses for shipbuilding woods and modules
  
• Slightly weakened RAIDERS (lowering their speed and some other stats)
  
• Reworked gun penetration
  
• Adjusted angling
  

Captains, the following changes were deployed on the Test Server today, March 18th:

• Fixed several issues with pumps being assigned to incorrect classes
  
• Fixed certain issues with mast thickness that made demasting by chain difficult
  
• The "Buy Price" column is back in the Trader Tool
