1) Privateer Break Formation has Disappeared.
2) Tracking Shot seems to not be functioning.
3) Burst Of Speed is still 3 mins.

10 Mins and that what I saw so far.

Same here (though I didn't get the purple system text or popup the first time I logged in, only the second time - perhaps the career skill reset message blocked that?).
But that gave an opportunity to do some testing.

When sending a /tell to someone who hasn't friended you, you get the following error:
"Unable to send tell to [name]: Players must be from the same nation to chat."

Also, if you remove someone as a friend, (s)he can still send you messages, until you logout&login. Not a big issue though, and could be a wanted feature.

We tested a few other bits, but that all seems to be working as intended.

And about the Unrest Supply changes. I know it's still far away, and UC2.0 will probably be ready by then (so ktatroe has time again). But I do hope that the API will be supporting that in time.

Revisiting Point-a-Pitre
05.01.08 by fraxl

You’ll be seeing another devlog from me pretty soon inviting players to participate in testbed server events.
We planned this before the outcry against Point-à-Pitre, but we were waiting until closer to the first event to publicize it.

The deal is that, each time we push a new patch to testbed, we’re going to have some tasks set up for you to test the new content. I’ll be collecting feedback about the new stuff and conveying it to the rest of the developers while there’s still time to make changes before going live. We’ve done this occasionally in the past, but now we’re going to be doing it for every single patch.

ALRIGHT THEN - What tasks shall we start with?

It seems the stats for the Bahamut aren't in the F1 docs. It's a refit, and I think there aren't any of those in the F1 docs at all. Though I thought a dev said refits would also be added to the Ship deeds list.

I'm upgrading now.... Are there release notes running about? There in the uploader... but it would be nice if they were on here somewhere... easier to read.

New Skill Types: Attacks that use a Per-Hit Bonus. These attacks become more effective with each shot that hits in a single broadside. They multiply the buffs/debuffs shown in the tooltip. These skills have three new fields:

First Hit Bonus: This is how effective the skill is just by landing a single hit.
Per-hit Bonus: This shows how much bonus is added for each additional hit. This is usually 1.
Maximum Hits: This shows how many hits can land before we stop increasing the strength of the skill.
Heres an Example:
Rake: First-Hit Bonus: 5, Per-Hit Bonus: 1, Maximum Hits: 10, Target Effects: 2% crew damage
This does 10% crew damage just for hitting, and it maxes out at 30% crew damage after 10 hits.

Add to this that a hit is one cannon not a broadside. Some folks might not get that. Just to add clarity to it.
