Logbook

Fleet power is your strength on paper. Higher power improves success odds and makes runs steadier — but only if hull and morale are in good shape.

• More power — higher base power and a rarity multiplier on every ship and pirate.
• More durability and morale capacity — rarer assets can hold more hull and morale before hitting zero.
• More crew slots — rarer ships carry more pirates, enabling more perk stacking.
• Stronger perk contributions (Model B) — rarer ships and pirates multiply their perk output via a separate perk rarity multiplier (Mythic ≈ 1.35× vs Common 0.65×).
• Not flat perk rates — a Mythic Cargo ship contributes more loot per ship than Common because of the perk multiplier, not a different base rate.

Mythic assets contribute more power and stronger perk output via the perk rarity multiplier — not just more crew slots.

Ship class perks are not scaled by crew morale. Only crew role perks use perk strength (morale-based scaling).

Mix roles instead of stacking one. More of the same role still helps, but each extra same-role pirate adds less value than the last.

Raw is everything your fleet contributes before caps. Final is what actually applies. Wasted is the difference — visible in Cabin Fleet Stats when you over-stack.

Ship and crew sources cap independently, then combine toward expedition final caps. Examples (Model B): 9 Common Scouting ships contribute about +19% duration (below the +22% ship source cap). 9 Mythic Cargo ships reach the +42% ship loot source cap before the +50% expedition cap. Combined Scout crew + Scouting ships stack toward −35% final duration (minimum duration multiplier ×0.65).

• Hull affects ship power — floors at 30% effectiveness at zero durability.
• Morale affects pirate power — floors at 25% at zero morale.
• Crew perk strength scales with average crew effectiveness: 70% + 30% × avg crew eff × perk rarity multiplier — including Navigator, Scout Tailwind, and Scout universal success bonuses.
• Mythic pirates have higher morale max (400 vs 200 Common) — the same morale bar % is harder to maintain in absolute terms.

Restore hull and morale at the Harbor before dispatching to harder waters.

Crew capacity is set by ship rarity, not pirate rarity. More slots let you stack more roles and chase perk synergies — but identical roles give diminishing returns and expedition caps still bind final bonuses.

Build strategy: pair high-capacity Mythic hulls with mixed roles. See Ship classes and Perk caps before over-stacking one role.

On failure: season points ×0.1 (Quartermaster does not boost failures), resources ×0.25, bonus roll chance ×0.25.

• Each voyage rolls base season points from its mission band (higher waters = higher point bands), then scales by participant multiplier when multiple bays sail together.
• Success pays full points × (1 + Quartermaster boost, up to +40%).
• Failure pays 10% of base points — no Quartermaster boost on failures.
• Points climb the Legends leaderboard each Moon Tide. Season 0 is beta — leaderboards run live; rewards will be announced.

Higher waters and Quartermaster crews score more on success. Failed voyages still return a small share so every sail counts toward the season. Reward scaling when multiple bays sail: n × (1 − 0.05 × (n − 1)) — e.g. 2 bays ×1.95, 3 bays ×2.70. Does not change success chance.

• Season 0 is the live beta Moon Tide — voyages, points, and leaderboards are active now.
• Each season runs 28 days across eight moon phases (~3.5 days each).
• Active window: New Moon through Third Quarter (phases 0–6). Voyages and scoring run during this window.
• Season break: Third Quarter through the next New Moon — the tide recedes until the next Moon Tide begins.
• Each Moon Tide carries an Eclipse identity — its name gives the season its theme.

Timing matters: push for season points before the active window ends. Legends standings lock when the Moon Tide closes.

The Fleet Stats panel in the Cabin shows your ready bays exactly how dispatch will apply perks. Use it to spot over-stacking and wasted bonus value.

Raw = pre-cap contribution from your fleet. Final = what dispatch applies. Wasted = value lost because a cap was hit. Navigator and Scout Tailwind rows show success pp before the expedition success clamp; the preview applies the full clamp to the combined total.
