[h1]Quick summary[/h1] This major update brings new armed neutral ships to the game, tweaks to some resource rewards achievement related bug fixes and minor rework to both ship and projectile velocities. [h1]Pirates![/h1] Pirates, like transport ships, will grant killing reward to a players who dealt a last damaging hit to them. Unlike transports heavy armored and armed pirate ships will fight back and may easily destroy minor fleets. Both transports and pirates will now receive a reward boost that will depend on how time passed since the match started. Floating text displaying amount of resources granted to player now also works for neutral ships.

Maps now feel slightly bigger, heavy ships and weapons heavier and light ships less annoying ;) [h1]Detailed patch notes *:[/h1] [i]* - some patch notes may be omitted for the sake of the post size.
