Watch out island dwellers! The pirates can capture and take any island for themselves! Tons of new islands and two new regions. This update brings it all. We hope to have more content and features available in the coming updates!
Ubuntu/Steam OS support
Don't Sink now officially supports Ubuntu! The current build is entirely playable and should run smoothly for most Linux users.

- Enemy ship actions are now displayed above them

Bug fixes and performance improvements

- Pressing escape with the leaderboard open works correctly now
- Completing two quests at the same time would result in a crash
- Map data/paths are cached when the game is first started rather than calculated in realtime

Balance changes
