Crew Bots - Coming Soon

Blackwake has long since leaned on a heavy player requirement to feel the action that the game is supposed to give you with a full crew. This design did not come without consequences, though.

addedBlackwake has long since leaned on a heavy player requirement to feel the action that the game is supposed to give you with a full crew. This design did not come without consequences, though. By requiring so many players per faction it started to become clear how torturous it was to simply man an under crewed ship while waiting for players to join. Working closely with our testing community on the discord we've been implementing bots. We were trying to beat the sale, but rest assured they will be coming very soon. Gone will be the days of 3 players trying to run a galleon - a scenario so frustrating it could cause a server to stall at the 15-30 player mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJibvn5D6GI We look forward to playing with our new overlords!
