PATCH B13.5 ANNOUNCEMENT

Key Changes:

-The "Imperial Chest" has been added to the store. It contains rare designs, hull paints, items, and early access to ships.
Early access allows players to obtain ships before they are officially added to the shipyard in future updates. In this update, early access will be granted to the heavy second-rate ship-of-the-line "Saint Pavel."

This distinguished Black Sea Fleet warship took part in many battles. From 1784 to 1788, its captain was Fyodor Ushakov, the future legendary Russian admiral.

In-game stats:
Durability – 3250
Speed – 7.4
Maneuverability – 63
Broadside Defense – 6
Crew – 184
Length / Side Height – 47m / 8m
Displacement – 4050t
Cannons – 2-44-0
Integrity – 7

- The stats of most consumable items have been slightly adjusted (duration, effect strength).
- Flag bonuses will now affect all rewards from Tavern quests.
- Octopus ship repairs will now require blueprint fragments for each unit of integrity, but bronze has been removed from the requirement.
- The minimap interface has been updated.
- Various UI and description adjustments.

Guilds & Factions:

-Reputation penalties will increase progressively for a series of consecutive friendly player sinkings.
-Losing a city defence battle will no longer result in a loss of influence points.
-Influence point gain for city development has been reduced from 50,000 to 35,000 points per influence unit.

Bug Fixes:

- Trade mission bonuses (travel routes, crafting discounts, port market access) were not working in some cities—this has been fixed.
- Deleted accounts remained in guild rosters, and their auction lots stayed active – this has been fixed.
- Fixed a bug where the "Vizier" guild status reset after a client update.
- The supply mission could exceed its intended limit—this has been corrected.
- Fixed game crashes caused by various errors.

The patch list may be updated or changed before release. The final patch notes will be published alongside the launch of B13.5.
