Some new features and updates to the UI.
Faction Tracking
There are four country factions and three pirate factions for you to ally with, trade with, or battle against!
(Faction Notoriety Screen)
The "Unknown" factions represent Pirate Groups that haven't been added to the game yet.
You can increase your standing with a faction by completing quests, destroying or pirating rival faction ships, or trading goods with them. The more a faction likes you the better prices you'll get when buying goods, repairing your ships, or training in new skills. High faction standing will also unlock new quests and other rare rewards. If you partake in piracy, some factions may seek to hire you while others will send fleets to destroy you!
Compass
Based on feedback, I've added a compass when traveling in the world. The compass will also have icons on it pointing you to quest locations.

UI Updates
I've updated the UI to remove the hard border around the edge. I think it looks a lot better this way. Also created new UI for the Factions Notoriety Tracker above, updated the Victory Screen to show faction notoriety changes based on the battle.

Events Screen
I'm working on a first balance pass for XP gain, gold, buying/trading, and faction notoriety. Once that is looking solid I'll be inviting more people into the play test!
