1.6.35: Fame formula update for Pirates:
From now on, when calculating fame loss, if the loser is a Pirate, as long as the pirate has 200 or less ships, the formula assumes that 200 ships are owned.
If the Pirate has more than 200 ships, then the actual number is used in fame loss calculation.
Therefore the exception for pirates only applies for pirates with 200 or less ships.
It is important for us to keep the fame system as accurate as possible. With previous system, it was impossible for anyone to roleplay a Pirate and climb the Fame ladder. Right now, we believe that an average Pirate should have about 50 ships. Having 50 ships though means massive losses through the fame formula. This has now been corrected.
It is worth mentioning that this is a perk for those running the Black Flag and only them (similar to halved upkeep costs).
