Captains
Small hotfix was deployed for grape

Hotfix for crew damage by splinters and grapeshot will be applied today based on player feedback.

• Grape damage was modestly reduced (both for broadside and stern damage).
  
• Splinter damage modifiers have been significantly reduced for all types of guns.
  

Cannons splinter damage

• - Before patch splinter damage per cannonball = no less than 0.1 not more than 3.1 (based on splnter % of cannon damage)
  
• - After patch 5% but not less than 0.1 and not more than 2, this will reduce splinter damage through stern
  

Splinter % Per cannon after hotfix

• Cannons 2%
  
• Congrive, edinorog 5%
  
• Carronades 20%
  
• Obusiers 25%
  

As these changes are based on players feedback (who did no like the way grape and splinters worked) please report your thoughts on discord or steam forums after this hotfix. We are ready to tweak it more to perfection.
