Hamburg Dockyard: Build a Ship

The main feature of Update 0.9.5 is the Dockyard in the Hamburg Port, where two German ships will be constructed simultaneously:

VI Admiral Graf Spee—the famous "pocket battleship." A formidable warrior armed with torpedo launchers and powerful 283 mm caliber artillery.
VIII Odin—a new battleship. An excellent medium- and close-range fighter, carrying nine 305 mm guns that reload quickly for a battleship, a trademark German secondary battery, torpedo launchers, and the Hydroacoustic Search consumable.

[h2]Rules of the Event[/h2]
We've simplified the rules of this iteration of the Dockyard:

The event will span two updates—0.9.5 and 0.9.6.
The construction process of the Dockyard is comprised of 20 phases.
Each shipbuilding phase can be completed by finishing Directives or spending 1,750 per phase.
The reward for reaching phase 10 is VI Admiral Graf Spee with her War Paint camouflage.

In total, you can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases by finishing Directives without using doubloons.
VIII Odin and her War Paint camouflage awaits you upon completing the 20th phase.

For completing all the Directives, players can obtain VI Admiral Graf Spee, a multitude of other Dockyard rewards, and earn an excellent discount on VIII Odin.

If you already have VI Admiral Graf Spee in your Port, you will receive compensation in the form of credits, as well as the camouflage, Commander, and a Port slot.

[h2]Directives[/h2]
The new game event has 73 missions spread across six Directives. The first Directive will become available with the release of Update 0.9.5, while those that follow will be unlocked each week. The Directives are available from June 11 through August 4.

Each Directive will allow you to complete three shipbuilding phases:

Two shipbuilding phases can be completed by finishing specific missions that form part of the Directive.
One shipbuilding phase can be completed by finishing the entire Directive.

Detailed information about the Directives is available in the game client.

[h2]Rewards[/h2]
By only finishing missions of the Directives, players can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases and obtain the corresponding rewards at the Dockyard.

By playing and finishing the first two Directives, you can complete up to six shipbuilding phases and obtain the following rewards:

7,500 Coal
1 day of Warships Premium Account
15x Hunter camouflages
2x Gift containers

Finishing four out of the six Directives will result in you completing up to 12 shipbuilding phases and obtaining Admiral Graf Spee in the War Paint camouflage, as well as a 10-skill-point Commander and other valuable items, which when combined with previous rewards gives you a total:

VI Admiral Graf Spee in the War Paint camouflage with a 10-skill-point Commander
7,500 Coal
4 days of Warships Premium Account
10x each of the following signals: Hydra and Basilisk
10,000 Free XP
15x Hunter camouflages
5x Gift containers holding five special signals each

Finishing all of the event's Directives will result in you completing up to 18 shipbuilding phases and provide you the maximum 90% discount on Odin, as well as some additional signals, giving you a grand total of:

90% discount on VIII Odin
VI Admiral Graf Spee in the War Paint camouflage with a 10-skill-point Commander
7,500 Coal
4 days of Warships Premium Account
10x each of the following signals: Hydra, Basilisk, Scylla, Leviathan, Dragon, Red Dragon, and Ouroboros
10,000 Free XP
15x Hunter camouflages
5x Gift containers

In order to complete the 19th and 20th phases, apart from finishing all the event's Directives, you'll need to purchase any two shipbuilding phases by spending doubloons. It doesn't matter when you purchase these two phases: at the end of the building process or at any other time.

Сompleting the 19th shipbuilding phase will bring you 10,000 Coal.
Battleship VIII Odin awaits you upon completing the 20th phase.

You can purchase all the shipbuilding phases in exchange for doubloons and receive all the available rewards without waiting. If you decide to complete shipbuilding at the Dockyard by using doubloons, you can still progress through the Directives. However, in that case, instead of the usual rewards for completing the shipbuilding phases, you'll get 250 Steel for each completed phase. In total, you can earn up to 4,500 Steel.

Submarine games: seven of the best games with submarines

After a list of the best submarine games on PC? Submarine simulator games were reasonably popular back in the '90s, but if you're looking for new submarine games then your options are a lot more limited. If you're willing to go through all the hassle of making some of those '90s classics like Silent Hunter, Silent Service, and Aces of the Deep run on a modern PC then power to you. However, if you're looking for some more modern PC games with submarines then this list boasts plenty of solid sub battlers.

Submarine games come in a few different shapes and forms, with some aiming to replicate the minutiae of everyday operations on a military vessel, while others focus on stalking battleships and landing the perfect torpedo strike. Submarine games are about much more than sinking other ships though, incorporating crew management, strategic use of resources, navigation skills, and good positioning if you and your crew want to return safely home.

So join us as we lay out our list of some of the best submarine games to play on PC right now, from free-to-play multiplayer titans to early access FTL-likes.
