Patch #9.0, on 24 Nov 2015

Port battles added
Admiralty orders added to events: as a foundation for the admiralty store and fame points (or admiralty points)
Honor kill requirements are temporarily disabled due to popular demand
Open map events foundations added: Sail around and sometimes you will find an even just for you. System is rudimentary and will act as a basis for future development of variability and epic battles on the OW.
Bots ship variety returned
Teleport now works only to Capitals

Patch 9.6 - Minor fixes
Posted Today, 05:20 PM
What's new:
• You can destroy your Yacht now if it is in the enemy port. Many people could not redeem the ship because the port with the yacht was captured. Now if it is stuck - destroy it and redeem a new one.
• Player cannot attack now when he has an invulnerability timer. It was allowing some surprise attacks after exiting ports. (invul and invis timers will be reworked after release)
• You no longer can attack players of the nation in the vicinity of their capital. The "protected by Capital" area is reduced 2x times.
• Due to popular demand fleets were disabled for advanced ranks. You can only use fleets during first 3 ranks. Max AI fleet ship level is cutter. If you feel this is wrong please be more vocal on the forums to protect features you love.
• Missions enemy strength somewhat decreased. You will still get some hard missions but less often. If you get a hard mission bring friends or cancel and take it in another port according to your rank.
• Reminder: Missions force you to upgrade your ship. If you are trying to to lieutenant missions in a yacht you will suffer.
Fixed bugs:
• Bug with lack of durability loss when client crashed was fixed. It allowed people to keep durability if they alt f4ed in battle in several rare cases.
Tunings:
• Carronades max possible operational distance increased to 500 meters from 250
