Captains - hot fix is being deployed today to live servers
- Low level missions fixed - 6th rates no longer spawn in 7th rate missions
- Brace now protects your crew from explosions (unless its you who explodes). If you know someone is planning to explode use brace to reduce crew losses.

- Privateer (angles to wind turning)
- Lynx (turning)
- Niagara (angles to wind)

- Renommee (turning)
- Cerberus (speed)
- Snow (speed, angles to wind)

- Several important bugs fixed
Significant changes
- Basic cutter is now a basic pve farming ship. It will not be able to attack players and join pvp battles and outlaw battles (battles originated against the player) as reinforcement. It will still be pulled into combat instance if he is in the pull circle.
- Open world Unstuck command (Tow to port) has returned to its original form. It sends player to the nearest deepwater port (not to capital). It was a temporary change because we had to the random teleport bug.
- Ship knowledge tree requirements were relaxed and changed at high level ships.
Experimental feature
- Hull and Rig repairs now share cooldown to provide more depth in combat tactics
We plan to address fleets in outlaw battles issues this month. We know it is an important issue.
Please try not to hoard your conquest marks and spend them - we plan to gradually increase prices for permits over time.
