Piratey Potpourri

From the Release Notes:
  • No longer protect ratings in blockades, flotillas and seamonster encounters from dropping.
  • Count all navy missions towards the prerequisite for the palace drinking challenge.
  • Don't remove the treasure chest divvy panel after a delay; wait for it to be explicitly closed.

  • Don't allow players to chart to sea monsters if vessel locks would prevent them from entering.
  • Allow players with the Antediluvian Conch trophy to still hold the conch in portraits.

  • Increase maximum hearties per pirate to 250.
  • List the station type when announcing someone abandoning a duty station.
  • Changes to Skelly frays:
    • More pirates can sign up for the skelly fray than there are skellies. When the fray starts, if there are extra pirates, the skellies will randomly pick a subset of the players, and refund wagers to the rest.
