Frequently asked questions
What is a company?
A flag people sail under together — cargo, fishermen, tankers, pirates, any mix. It gives a shared board, a wire, a home port and three contracts a fortnight. It does not give speed or money you did not earn.
Do achievements change the game?
A little. Most pay a small sum. Two give a berth (one more ship) and two give a free tree node. None can be bought.
Can I lose my ship?
No. Ships are never destroyed or confiscated. The worst case is capped money and time.
Does my fleet sail when I close the tab?
Yes. That’s the whole game. Standing orders decide what each ship does while you’re away.
Is there pay-to-win?
No. Money can’t buy an outcome. Ads keep the game free, and they never slow your ship.
Why can’t my Coaster cross the Atlantic?
T1 hulls are coastal. Chain refuel calls, or build a T2.
What happens in contested water?
It’s a simulation: we name every claimant and don’t rule. Expect patrols from both sides.
How do I report someone?
Open their public profile or ship card, then choose Report.
