Fresh orders from the bridge, Captain. This one's about the long haul. • Weekly and lifetime challenges — 15 new weekly objectives and 50 career-long ones, tougher than the dailies and worth real rewards. • Interrupted mid-fight? The game now offers to resume the battle from the start of the wave you were on — plus a small gift for coming back aboard. • Your daily reward opens itself on the first visit to the menu each day. • Optional reminders so you don't sleep through a full crate. Combat rebalanced from the keel up: • Enemies move 20% slower and the battle camera pulls back 25% — you can see the whole attack forming instead of reacting to it. • The difficulty ramp now climbs across the entire campaign instead of spiking in the first few ports, and the economy was rebuilt to match it. • Enemy boats no longer grind along the hull, and boats that no turret could reach now come in and fight. • Turret tuning: Flamethrower range +50%, HellFire burns everything standing in the flames, helicopter missiles reach as far as the deck launcher and stay visible in flight, missile damage trimmed. Deck and chart-room polish: • The wave counter shows the real total before the first wave starts. • The specials strip grows upward, so your speed buttons stop moving. • The hull bar pulses green in time with repairs landing. • On the world map, your selected port pulses and the trade routes fade out into the fog. • Your flag now defaults to your actual country instead of always the USA. • Rewarded ads recover instead of hanging if one never reports back. • Smaller download and faster loading again — leaner audio, fonts and icons. Fair winds. The ports are still waiting.

NEW • Weekly and lifetime challenges — 15 rotating weekly objectives and 50 long-haul goals, tougher than the dailies and rewarded to match. • Your daily reward now opens itself on your first visit of the day. • Got interrupted mid-battle? Pick it back up from the start of the wave — with a small gift for coming back. • Optional reminders, so a finished supply crate never sits waiting. BALANCE • The battle camera pulls back 25% — far more room to read a fight. • Enemy boats move 20% slower, and the difficulty climb between ports is noticeably gentler. • Flamethrower range +50%. Missile damage tuned down on both the deck launcher and the helipad. FIXES • Hellfire now burns everything standing in the flames, not just the centre. • Helicopter missiles fly their full range and stay visible the whole way. • Enemy boats no longer grind along the hull, and boats your turrets can't reach now commit to the fight instead of loitering. • The wave counter shows the real total before the first wave starts. • Repairs pulse a green glow on the health bar, in time with the sound. • Your home port now suggests your actual country. • Trade routes fade out into the fog, and the selected port glows on the map.

Deck maintenance, Captain — this one's all about clarity in the heat of battle.
