There's nothing to fix. It is intended this way, so you get frustrated and put your hand in your pocket to get a premium... something. ;)
Well, this being my first post here, I would like to salute everyone and say thanks for this comprehensive guide. I started playing 4 days ago and I can say I like it.
I also have some noobie questions I couldn't yet find an answer for... so I'll just start shooting without any particular order:
1. The little colored flags that add some strengths to your ship (those Papa Papa, Tango Romeo, etc) ... are they permanent or they get "consumed" after every battle? (My guess would be they're consumables)
2. The ship's Captains... are they changeable? So if I have a skilled one, can I move it to another ship? If yes, does he have to be under the same flag/country, or on the same ship category (DD, BB..)?
3. Can the ships be sold, so I can free some port slots (and maybe get some "credits" for it) ? If yes, how? 'cause I couldn't find anything in this regard.
4. Containers: I can get a container when I get 2000xp, or wait until I get 12500xp or 37000xp. They all look the same. Question is: is the 2nd or 3rd container much more valuable, or how it works exactly?
5. If I go to Armory, I see I have a currency named Battle Points (looks like a Bitcoin symbol) which says that until the end of the 0.10.2 update I can change it for various items in the armory. How do I know when that end is coming? If I wait until I get the new update, it will probably be too late to spend it, right?
6. Upgrades/Modules (btw, are they the same thing?) Once mounted on a ship, is it permanent, or can I take it out in order to put it on another? I mean, I see I can revert to the previous one, but does it get lost or it goes in inventory? If I want to install it again, should I again pay for it, or it's for free?
6.1 Look at the picture below. What exactly I will research if I click on those buttons? A turret/hull similar with S.Carolina's / Phoenix's respectively? Or the ships themselves? or what?
Well, enough for now. Sorry for the wall of text. Hope to find some merciful soul among you to take me out of the forest.
Ahoy!
