World of Warships is a big and complex game, and several things are being worked on at the same time. While the team responsible for maps and modes develops beats like Rogue Wave, it does not mean everything else is put on hold. On the contrary, we've been incrementally updating the CV and anti-CV gameplay almost each update, e.g. in 0.8.5 AA DPS is being changed for better consistency, and right now the team is finalizing AA priority sector redesign. At the same time, FR DD are being tested for release, and there is a stream of various fixes each update, etc, etc.
It's important to understand it is not possible to switch the whole team to one task, ignoring personal specialization (i.e. nothing good will happen if we ask 3d Art to work on UI performance instead of creating ship models).
In the top left of your port screen, click on the image and that should take you to the Directives screen. For the first round you'll need to accomplish 5 tasks which will reward Fuel Tokens when you are done.
