As part of the rebranding effort, we have changed the name of the game to "Forgotten Seas"
We believe that this change is in the best interest of the game. The underlying game is completely unchanged but has received some new facelifts.

It is still the nautical adventure you were promised.
This name change will help us with various marketing efforts and localization to different languages.

Ghost Ship Encounter
Ghost ships can be found roaming in lightning storms or tempests near maelstroms. Defeating them can provide items of great benefits. Ghost ships deal extensive 'Bio Damage' so bring the right ship that can handle storms well and is resistant to Bio Damage type.

Introducing Ship Fittings
Fit your ship with Bulkhead Upgrades of various tier levels. Each ship in the game has special Tier benefits. For example, interceptor class ships (such as Naval Cutter) are resistant to Bio Damage
Cruiser class ships (such as Soul Queen) are resistant to Frost Damage and so forth. Check the blueprints of your ship for more details.

Installing a bulkhead in your ship will boost its tier level and make the ship even more resistant to its specialized damage type. For instance, installing a bulkhead in a Naval Cutter will make it more resilient to lightning storm damage and ghost ships. Making it an ideal ship to take to these encounters.
