addedWe’ve pushed an update focused on giving new crews more time to learn the game before the pressure really ramps up. You'll have more breathing room to explore, figure out the ORCA, salvage wrecks, and get your footing before things start getting dangerous. As your run progresses, the challenge should still ramp up and continue to test experienced players.
