- add:Vox Populi — A new device and a new feature -
autopilot!
- Attention:
- Autopilots consume ~15% more fuel.
- In autopilot cruise mode, the vessel follows a path from buoy to buoy, which may not always be the optimal route.
- A new window for the autopilot functionality can be found in the 'Vessel tab' (lower menu). Here is how an automatic course can be set:
- To interrupt the automatic course, simply press Esc key or go to the lower menu, click on the autopilot device row and right-click the mouse on the selected destination city (the blue steering wheel will change into a red X).
- The autopilot includes a built-in path correction feature for navigating tight spots between land masses. However, this algorithm is quite simple, so don't expect it to handle every situation perfectly. Be prepared to intervene if your vessel gets stuck.
- add:Significantly improved performance of the text display (we've got a report that the game is much faster at sea too).
- add:Lowercase system and bitmap
font 7.
- add:Green and red colour bitmap
font 7.

- add:Significantly reduced data exchange between the game client and the server (some parts are sent only at the client's request).
- add:Improved tooltips presentation. Take a look at this example:
- add:The
bulletin window now has a close button, consistent with other windows.
- add:Popup server message.
- fix:In a certain scenario, opening the options screen would cause the game to quit.
- fix:Main menu: When the player was online and there was no remote save, he would get a message "You are offline!". Now it's correctly handled.
- fix:Many internal fixes, improvements and redundant code reduction.
- fix:The travel speed was affected in the latest test updates, but after a few hours of tiresome analysis, it's finally restored, and the same speed has been applied to the autopilot mode.
- fix:More minor fixes plus German and Polish translations.
