[2020] PSA: Frames are currently bugged and can be destroyed by cannons and storm walls.

What this means is that if your ship gets shot enough, your frame may just dissapear.

I got 2 folks that lost their ships this way in a storm wall, and my mates just destroyed a rather giant pyramid ship this way.

My own ship (frame out of Tin) went through a storm wall already since last patch, and also got shot a bit after that. The frame may literally pop at any moment. Repairing it doesnt work, and as far as i know, there is no way to even know how damaged your frame is currently.

Means, your frame may dissapear at any moment. Keep that in mind. Good luck. ;)

edit: Update as of 5 minutes ago, from the Discord again:

So we're having a late maintenance - a latenance if you will. It'll start in about 30 mins and will update the game to fix the issues with ship frames.

edit2: downtime over, stuffs fixed. See comments by Fureniku.
