Updates

Eight new missions to discover

Your next assignment might start in a familiar harbour - or somewhere out on the open sea. Four new main missions are available in harbours:

• Flying Dutchman - Available in Crescentport once you reach the highest harbour reputation.
• A Light on the Horizon - Available in Stettach.
• Forbidden Freight - Available in Stettach once you reach the highest harbour reputation.
• Eddy's Delivery Service - Available in Mettington, Crescentport, Stettach and Drachdelen

There are also four new side missions to discover while travelling the open sea:

• Seal Appeal
• Discord
• A Sound Anomaly
• Secrets of the Deep

Keep an eye out during your voyages. Not every new assignment begins at the harbour.

More rewarding voyages and earlier unlocks

We've rebalanced mission rewards, including increased rewards for special and campaign missions. We've also moved two important career unlocks forward:

• Fast Travel now unlocks at Level 1
• Crew now becomes available at Level 2

This gives you earlier access to more of the systems available during your career.

Replay missions in Quickplay

Finished a mission you'd like to play again? All campaign missions and three special missions can now be replayed through Quickplay. Once you have completed an eligible mission in single-player, it becomes available to revisit in Quickplay. Return to a favourite assignment whenever you're ready.

Trading and cargo improvements

Trading and cargo handling have received a further balancing and improvement pass for Full Release. Among the changes:

• Harbour trading and the Free Trade economy have received further balancing for Full Release.
• Automatically completing a Free Trade operation now calculates its price based on the remaining cargo, rather than using a fixed value.
• Additional containers appearing during certain trade and unloading situations have been fixed.
• Delivery items can now be placed correctly aboard the Big Trip and Nordic Duchess.
• Several issues involving trade cancellation, partial cargo handling, cranes, and loading operations have been addressed.
• Feedback has been improved when a trade cannot be started because another trade or shift is already active.

Fine-tune your vessel controls

You can now configure separate dead zones for steering and throttle, giving you more control over how your vessel responds to controller input. On PC, Push-to-Talk can now be rebound, and we've corrected several input prompts and menu interactions.

Localisation improvements across all languages

We've reviewed and revised the localisation across all supported languages, improving wording and checking for consistent maritime terminology throughout the game. This includes revisions to campaign text, system terminology, interface text, and several language-specific voice-over and text issues.

Bug Fixes

• Several bug fixes, including major issues reported by the community.

Hot Fix #2 (included in Patch #5.0)

The following improvements were originally planned for Hot Fix #2 and are now included as part of Patch #5.0.

Trading & Cargo

Cargo Compatibility

• Issue: It was not clear which cargo types could be transported by which ships, causing unavailable trading options to be perceived as bugs.
• Fix: Containers now have clear labels, and the ship menu displays which cargo types the selected vessel can transport. In addition, the trading screen now explains that certain goods can only be transported using the Big Trip.

Big Trip Trading Improvements

• Issue: Trading could fail even when sufficient total cargo capacity was available if containers were not evenly distributed across both cargo sections.
• Fix: The Big Trip now supports asymmetric cargo distribution between its cargo sections, allowing purchases to succeed as long as enough overall capacity is available.

Market Rotation Timer

• Issue: Players could not see when a port's market inventory would refresh.
• Fix: The trading screen now displays the remaining time until the next market rotation, along with an explanation that market offers refresh periodically.

Loading Service

• Issue: Manually loading and unloading containers was time-consuming, and the feature was not clearly explained.
• Fix: A paid loading service now automatically loads and unloads all compatible containers. The interface has also been improved with a clearer button and a confirmation dialog showing the associated costs.

Increased Cargo Availability

• Issue: Trading opportunities were frequently limited by the number of available cargo containers.
• Fix: The number of containers available for trading has been significantly increased, making goods available more frequently and in larger quantities.

New Trade Goods

• Issue: Some container types were not available through the trading system.
• Fix: Bulk and LNG cargo can now be bought and sold through the regular trading system.

Harbour & Navigation

Extended Harbour Schedule

• Issue: The previous 7-day schedule provided limited visibility for planning future deliveries.
• Fix: The harbour schedule has been expanded to four weeks. Deliveries are now highlighted more clearly, and individual days can be selected directly.

Skip to Selected Day

• Issue: Players had to advance time step by step to reach future events.
• Fix: Players can now skip directly to a selected day from the harbour schedule. A confirmation dialog is displayed before time is advanced.

Locked Harbour Information

• Issue: Locked harbours did not indicate when or how they could be unlocked.
• Fix: Locked harbours now display the required global reputation level needed for unlocking.

Controls

Controller Support

• Issue: Not all new menus and features were fully accessible using a controller.
• Fix: Controller support has been expanded to cover the new user interface and gameplay features.

Progression

Rebalanced Reputation Progression

• Issue: Progression pacing for unlocking new content was uneven and could result in unnecessary delays.
• Fix: Reputation requirements for harbour unlocks, missions, and player levels have been rebalanced to provide a smoother progression experience.

Campaign Reputation Rewards

• Issue: Campaign missions only rewarded players indirectly through the work completed during the mission.
• Fix: Campaign missions now grant additional direct reputation rewards, making campaign progression more rewarding.
