Features
- Community System:
There is now a Community section in game accessible from the header. This section has quite a few new shiny things in it. The most prominent is the Clan system. From now on, you’ll be able to create your clan as well a permanent clan name and clan page. You will be able to manage your clan by promoting officers and accept new clan members. You’ll also have demote and kick functions for your clan, so use wisely. Your clan can be given commendations by other players, and this will determine your clan’s visibility in the clan list. Your clan will now also have it’s own chat channel and members list alongside Friends and Party. The leaderboard for the competitive season in game is now also available, and you can see your new shiny profile page, with a character viewer to boot. All upcoming community events will be displayed in Community, and you can favorite any of them for your clan page. As events become available, you can join them (if permissions allow) directly from event list.

- Ship Customization:
The ability to decorate your ships is finally here! There is a new section in the Store called Ship, where you can get deck themes, figureheads, balloon decals, and paint colors for your ships. Some of the decoration items will also be unlockable through your Progression. After you get the items, you can go to the new Ship screen to decorate with them. The new Ship screen is also more streamlined, with bigger ship previews, where you can simply drag to rotate and zoom in and out. Gun slot customization is also cleaner with less clutter.

- Updated Tutorials:
The tutorials have been updated to cover more of the essential elements of the game. A basic tutorial allows you to explore the different components on the ship - helm, guns, and repair points - and trigger tutorials for each component. The basic tutorial also instructions and reminds about all the communication tools, such as voice chat, text chat, and voice commands. It shows how guns are used in tandem or complements. The class specific tutorials then dive into more specifics about the individual components, skills, and mechanics of each player class.
