- Y3S2 Mid-Season UpdateLatest
Ammo Removed and the Season Extended
- The October 19 update removed ammo from combat entirely to streamline it: captains no longer stockpile ammunition in cargo or warehouses, all existing ammo inventory and ammo crate blueprints were removed, and affected players were reimbursed in Silver (1 Silver for items such as cannonballs and rockets up to 5 Silver for Buoy Shells and Mortar Bombs, with blueprint refunds at full store cost in Silver and some in Pieces of Eight) via mail with no expiration.
- The current season (Year 3 Season 2) was extended by two weeks while the team prepares next season’s changes, with a further maintenance the following day to apply the extension.
- Contract fixes clarified objective text and removed invincibility from certain targets so contracts can complete, and stability fixes covered a GeForce NOW launch error, failed-join loops, and rejoining a sea monster encounter after a disconnect.
For buyersThe reimbursement converts sunk ammo stockpiles straight back into Silver at fixed rates, so no captain is left holding a worthless consumable — Silver balances, not ammo hoards, are what an account carries into the extended season.

Crimson Waters
- Year 3 Season 2, Crimson Waters, added the Junk, a large DPS ship whose Infernal Embers perk stacks Ember to strip enemy Armor and Fire Resistance, and the Abyssal Fleet, a new enemy faction invading World Tier 4 with the Heralds of the Abyss world event.
- Modification Transfer arrived at the Blacksmith, moving mods between same-kind equipment at the cost of destroying the source item and spending the new Ascension Flux material, alongside Seasonal Mastery Loadouts and a refreshed Mastery Tree built on the Impetus resource.
- The season’s Faction War — Phoenix’s Talon against the Compagnie Royale — runs from August 18, with ceasefire on October 27 and war end on November 3, 2026.
