  Minor patch notes: July 8th, 2026

  - Added a work-around for "ghost players" where the server list would show the number of players to be higher than the actual number of connected clients. - Changed the server address to remove old servers and force server admins to update their executable. - Fixed a bug preventing summoned help ships from benefiting from Improved Useful Debris and other effects that AI normally can't benefit from. - Fixed the ally boss of a 4-skull mission being spawned with the wrong name for when an explicit name was specified (ex: story quest mission).

  Minor tweaks

  Just some small changes based on feedback. Fixed an issue with NPCs and players being unable to take damage properly when there was an odd interaction with Death Ward. Cloth animation distance is now based on the distance to the ship, not the sail itself, and setting it to '1' means only animate your own ship's cloth. Added /resetstories command to reset all stories to allow you to play through them again with a different set of choices. This is in addition to romance-specific ones like /resetAlvana, /resetSonya, /resetBella and /resetLani that existed before.

  Minor Patch Notes (March 28)

  - Added /getServer and /setServer commands for admins. - Made flares drop outside of Kraken raids (but only at night). - Made text more crisp at scaled-up resolutions (above 1440p). - World population needed to spawn a trader is now a server-configurable value in addition to being a game config setting so admins can easily tweak it at run-time. - Fixed inability to sell raid items via drag & drop. - Cleansing Blast now triggers the effects of the source unit's Water Barrel on all affected friendly units.

  Feb 13 patch notes

  - Rampage projectiles are no longer counter-able if the player has Giant Net, matching targeted mortar projectiles. - It's now possible to specify a flag on buffs that indicates that they can't be refreshed with Revitalize. Certain buffs, like the dock and respawn buff have it by default. - Creating a brand new campaign with code-altering mods active no longer requires holding Shift. - Item combining now checks for the item's presence in the player's inventory before creating the result. - Added a button to the main menu options that lets you clear all Steam Cloud cache (temporary files like fog of war and preview textures). - Resetting Bella's romance will no longer prevent Marcei from talking to you if you've already unlocked Aequitas. - Marcei will no longer give you the dialog option to join Valiant once he moves on. - Minor dialog tweaks. - Disconnecting mid-raid should no longer prevent the player from being able to reconnect until all players leave the raid. - Various other minor fixes.

  Raid Update: Now Available

  Ahoy, Captains!As promised, the (admittedly long overdue) raid update is now here and to celebrate the game will be 30% off for a limited time!Jump back in to continue the game's story, unlock a new faction, gather your friends and test your skills with the new high-challenge raid missions where you will be able to earn new powerful artifacts that can greatly change your play style and even unlock entirely new ones!While this content is meant to be experienced in co-op together with your friends (and is indeed scaled with this in mind), it can be beaten solo for those of you that prefer the additional challenge -- just don't expect to be able to achieve this impressive feat until you've gathered enough raid items to make it possible.Speaking of raid items, once the night time falls, defeated enemies will have a chance to drop unique loot that you may find incredibly useful for surviving the horrors of the night. Since you don't need to complete the raid in order to start earning the rewards, your power will gradually increase even if you ultimately fail. Here are just a few examples of the gear you might find:So how does one unlock the ability to start raids, some of you might ask? Well, first you need a very powerful ship -- any one of the ships you've had to unlock will do. Next, you have to be max level (30), and average item tier of 6 (Legendary) or above. You also have to complete certain stories. Once you've done all that, Elvanora Mitrini might have something for you that will let you continue the Guiding Fate story -- with both the new faction and the ability to start raids getting unlocked at the end of it.Of course if you are simply playing online, such as on the public Tasharen East Coast server, and only care about gearing out your ship, you can skip most of that by simply joining raids hosted by other players.And with that, I wish you luck and I hope you'll have fun!-Aren
