Update B14

Bot Update
There will now be more types of NPS (non-player ship) vessels:
-Pirates: from regular ships to pirate barons.
-Trade ships will now be moving along routes (see below).
-The Order of the New Ark and the Witnesses of the Apocalypse—non-playable factions that will become part of the game’s setting.
-Various ships of the Empire.


New events—pirate convoys and military convoys—will appear on the map.
Each type of bot has its own design, traits, and carried resources.

Trade Routes
-Trade ships now travel along one of 70 trade routes, transporting specific resources. Routes connect cities to each other, as well as to settlements and production points.
-Routes can become depleted if NPS are regularly sunk.
-Attacking trade routes increases the wanted level, triggering bounty hunters to be sent to the area. If they find the raider, they will engage them.
-Trade routes can be scouted by sinking trade ships—once discovered, they appear on the map.


Treasure Maps
-Three new treasure maps have been added. They can be obtained with varying chances by sinking pirate ships, trade ships, or the new ship types.
-Maps are displayed in the logbook. Once you collect the required number, set out for the treasure.


Pirate Tokens
-Pirate tokens have been added—they are shown as currency in the logbook.
-Pirate shops will now appear in pirate bays and ports captured by pirates. ---Tokens can be used there to buy valuable resources, from blueprint fragments to ship designs.

Sunken Supplies
-Extremely rare Imperial supplies have appeared in the world, located in different areas. When you're near one, an indicator above the minimap will appear, showing the distance to the supply.

Spyglass
-The info panel’s design has been updated—the spyglass now shows more information.
-It will highlight interactable objects.
-Exploring objects now clears the fog of war.


World Map Announcements
-Using a button on the world map, you can post announcements to look for a group or a battle.
-Announcements are visible only within a certain radius and can be posted every 30 minutes.
