Fixes
addedShip RenamingYou've always been able to rename your fleet just by clicking on the name in the flag editor, but the ships were a different story. There were reasons for this. Ships all need unique names as well as other special criteria that need to be checked. With this update we worked through that and you can now click on the ship's name on the detail screen if you'd like to change it.
changedLocksPreviously, when you viewed locked items in a store, the amount of island liberation needed to unlock those items would be displayed in parenthesis after the name. Unfortunately, this took a lot of space, and as many of you have pointed out, the names would often be so long that they would flow into other elements on the screen. To fix this problem, we've replaced the original lock with one that has the unlock percent written directly on it. The new lock appears in several places, sometimes with no percent at all. Let us know what you think!
addedThe ListShips can now be renamed.
changedThe ListFeedback has been improved when you try to name a ship the same name as an existing ship.
removedThe ListShips can no longer appear inside an island. If you see one, take a screen shot and post it up for us to take a look at.
fixedThe ListThe Whale's Diamond Cannon attack was not draining enemy ships correctly. This has been fixed and applied as hot fix 1.6.6b.
