8)Ship Specialization

This is our top priority but right now development has stalled due to lack of decision in how exactly to implement this. If these decisions come early, this will get the highest priority.

9)Captains Check change
Announced on 19 Oct 2015, this change will take place after December 19 2015 following players request on an extra delay.
Captains check will from now on take place when you try to put a ship in a fleet. If you do not have the required amount, the ship will remain outside. (Implemented, Jan 01 2016)

11)Bank Update
-Bankers will be able to configure the maximum account balance allowed per client (Implemented, October 22)

-Level 15 Banks or greater will be able to sell Credits for Gold Coins (Implemented Dec 04)


12)Gold Bars requirement for some ship types at the Shipwright
The change will take place shortly after ship market release.
-Large Merchantman will require 10 Gold Bars each.
-Ship of the Line will require 100 Gold Bars each (Implemented, Jan 01)

I will be updating this whenever something is implemented. Please use the respective topics to provide feedback.
Post here links for features you deem worth to be implemented and we will take a look.

[Captain Jack]

All updates are progressing excellently and up to our schedule. This means that we are nearing the Ship Specialization feature once again where we need user feedback.

Next step is Ship Market which will naturally come in the game in early October.

9)Captains Check change
Announced on 19 Oct 2015, this change will take place after November 2 2015 and before November 19, 2015.
Captains check will from now on take place when you try to put a ship in a fleet. If you do not have the required amount, the ship will remain outside.

Once this change takes place, existing sailing fleets will not be affected.

As an example:
Player with 50 ships and 30 captains. All 10 fleets will continue running normally. However, if he for example tries to re-organize 2 fleets, while he will be able to remove ships from fleets he will not be able to add ships to fleets till the number drops below the captain number.

Cap'n - quick question on the latest update..."New Plunder effect: As long as an attacker has less than 200 captains, he will earn a new Captain whenever he plunders an enemy ship."

does this mean if I am attacked by a person with less than 200 captains and have a ship plundered that I lose a captain

[Captain Jack]

No. You will not lose a captain.

If you read carefully, it says earn not loot. The in-game message produced when this happens explains it further and leaves no questions for anyone

[Captain Jack]

Added Bank update forthcoming updates.

[Captain Jack]

Ships Market is almost finished. Most probably it will be released THIS week.
