• Added an in-game feedback form. When using this form, please be as specific as possible. Please note that you will not receive any feedback from support using this form (click here for technical support). The feedback form button icon is a question mark and can be found in two places:

• In an effort to improve the early in-game experience, we have re-launched welcome worlds. This is a scaled down instance of the Pirates world that a player plays in until they launch a ship for the first time. To help us test this new and exciting feature, create a new pirate and take them for a spin through the tutorial. Please let us know about any issues that you encounter during the tutorial.

• Added some debugging for tracking down lingering issues with textures when using the DirectX9 graphics API.
