1 in thread Known Issue: Marks of Victory [Important Announcements]
While Marks of Victory are being rewarded as a result of a successful boarding combat, players are not being awarded Marks of Victory for sinking an opponent during a PvP encounter.

We are working now to deploy a patch that will correct this issue and we will keep you updated on our progress.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best,
Aether

Not yet. We didn't want to put hooks in until the new hook fighting school is finished.

As usual, there's no global resource pool from which all fixes can be made. Range was an easy, quick and safe fix that could be made purely with data. Preventing cargo dumping is a new code feature that takes more work to add, time to test, look for holes and exploits, etc.

In just 10 days it will be Valentine’s Day. In the past you might have marked this most joyful of days by taking your loved one out for dinner. Perhaps you bought them a charming bunch of flowers and a box of exquisite Belgian chocolates.

This year, you dont need to do any of that! We at Flying Lab Software understand that sometimes you want to give the special person in your life something unique, something breathtaking. Behold the “ARRR You My Valentine?” Facebook application!


This application lets you send a selection of Pirates of the Burning Sea themed cards to your friends and loved ones. What more could they want?


Enjoy. Wont you?

1 in thread Freetrader Refits anytime soon? [Discuss: Ships, Ship Combat, & Ship Skills]
FT refits aren't on the immediate list. Adding more MoV rewards for FTs is on the list. Ship-side, I'm working on making the existing FT ships better before considering refits. The Mignone and the Oliphant are significantly improved in 1.2. I want the core FT combat merchants to be desirable.

That's mostly true, except that it goes from blocking all damage at 100% armor to blocking 25% damage just as you hit zero armor. Since every shot is tracked individually, your structure will always take damage (unless you're at 100% armor and only get hit by *ONE* round shot).

This is defined in the first post. +MAX damage.

See answer below.
