Ahoy Pathfinders!
We hope you’ve all enjoyed the 2x event over the Thanksgiving Weekend! This week, we have a bit of a smaller maintenance patch, with the Small Armored Dock now available!
Small Armored Docks, for Schooners and Sloops, will have 20,000,000 health. We are also beefing up the Large Armored Dock to 30,000,000 health. Gold upkeep has been lowered to 150 a day, while Small Armored Docks will have an upkeep of 50 a day. We have also made a number of changes and bug fixes to balance and improve the Armored Docks. Rest easy knowing yer furry companions are safe onboard your protected Ships!
Development and optimization work for the Trade System continues! We have made improvements to the Market UI for Market Searching. Most importantly, we have addressed several server issues to improve performance and latency. Thank you for your feedback and bug reporting as the Trade System continues to undergo development. Again, not all features of the Trade System, including the NPC Ships, are out yet. Subsequent patches will continue to see more and more improvements and fixes. Missing resources and new items are now available for Trade as well! Anyone got any Ale or Grog? We’re stockin’ up fer a new adventure as the Ramming Ship is getting closer to making its debut on the ATLAS seas! Look out for it in the nearby future

Armored Dock
NPCs and Tames on protected ships can no longer be damaged

Ships can now anchor inside an Armored Dock even if the Dock is placed in deep water
Ships must not have received or dealt damage for at least five minutes before receiving protection from an Armored Dock
Bug Fix: Armored Docks can now only protect one ship at a time
Bug Fix: Ships are no longer protected after an Armored Dock is destroyed

Increased max level of common ships from 42 to 50
NOTE: This change only applies to ships built after the patch

Others

Bug Fix: Treasure will no longer spawn on Sea Forts
Known Issues
Not all available Markets are showing up from every other Market during search
Upkeep Cost on Armored Docks does not properly show the next time. Upkeep is still taken on skill
Final Note
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support!
Happy Sailing,
- ATLAS Crew
