Update 55.118.0 — The Settlement opens to all, borrow the day's ship

The Settlement is open to everyone

• No Battle Club needed any more: claim your free starter pet, forage, buy food and pets, add pet slots, send gifts and visit other captains — every door is open.

Today's Waters: borrow the featured ship

• Don't own the day's featured ship? Borrow it. In a Friendly or short ranked battle, swap it into your fleet while you place — it still earns +25% Gold and Research Points.
• The FEATURED badge now shows where you pick your fleet, not only in battle.

Factions — 29 September to 13 October

• A three-way, two-week event. Pick a side — Sail, Steel or Deep — on the home screen when it opens. Every battle counts for your side, and you sail whatever ships you like.

Friends and results

• Your head-to-head record against each friend now shows on the Friends list and on the results screen.
• Sharing a battle now shares the result — the score line and a grid of your shots — instead of a bare invite link.
• Friendly invites let you choose the turn time: 1, 3 or 7 days. And you can have 20 battles on the go instead of 10.

Also

• Steam: your Steam account is linked automatically whenever you play here — this fixes purchases failing for players who first signed in with Discord.
• New players see tomorrow's login bonus on the results screen during their first two days.
• Fixes: pop-ups that arrive together are no longer dropped, queue-time estimates match the battle length you picked, and the LOCKED label in the Shipyard fits on one line in every language.
