- We Need Your Expertise! - 15 September 2023
We Need Your Expertise! With Atlantic being made right now we haven't forgotten about Pacific, in fact Atlantic's development only helps with Pacific updates.

- A quick note on MOD alterations with regards the new update. - 12 September 2023
Some of you may have noticed that your ships are sinking quicker if you have set up a MOD and have installed the new Pacific update. This is not a bug, but does require a slight tweak to your MODs. In the damage calculations, for every point of damage that gets through armour, a weapon gets a chance at scoring a critical hit. Before, the way it was using a critical hit chance multiplier that's lower than 1 meant that non-heavy weapons were almost never scoring a critical hit. Now that it's using that value more accurately, the very high damage values in the mod mean there's also hundreds of chances of getting a critical hit, each adding a ton of extra damage, and so blowing up a ship very quickly. If you want to dial back the damage your mod should use a greatly reduced critical hit chance multiplier for weapons with greatly increased damage. Or reduced critical hit damage, though some…
