Captains
Patch has been deployed
Whats new
- Control perk has been added to all ships with no bow gun ports (no chasers).
- Masts
- Mast HP rebalance. Mast HP is now based on general ship and rig strength and was generally increased
- Ocean 1200hp for lower mast sections
- Cutter has 290 for lower mast section
- The main idea behind this change is to remove dependence on single shots and to require consistent modest amount of damage to rig to demast the ship. (instead of 7-10 shots for a mast every ship independently of its size and overall strength)
- Mast Thickness have been slightly reduced to allow more consistent demasting opportunities at close range.
- Upgrades for mast thickness and mast hp are currently under review
- Mast HP rebalance. Mast HP is now based on general ship and rig strength and was generally increased
- Hull HP
- Hull HP rebalanced based on ship dimensions and displacements. Most ships have received slight or medium buffs, some ships have had their HP reduced.
- Additional hp changes will be applied over the next couple of patches, if necessary.
