8.34 Update Notes
Greetings, Captains. The 8.34 update is deploying Tuesday afternoon, August 21st at 4pm PDT. It contains a new World Map Fleet Management feature, introduces Blitz targets for advanced resources, and provides support for the new Forsaken Mission cycle.
WORLD MAP FLEET MANAGEMENT
A new world map fleet management system is available, allowing you to launch, recall, attack, instant repair, and join battles without having to re-enter your base. Talk about a time-saver!
Click the Launch button to launch a fleet when docked, and the Recall button to recall a fleet from the World Map. When a fleet is selected you can click a target on the map to attack a target. Selecting a fleet will also allow you to see repair options (slow-repair is still for docked fleets only). Double clicking on the fleet will center the camera on the fleet.
Hotkeys 1 through 0 on your keyboard (10 in total) are associated with the first ten fleets in your Dock.
Single tapping a hotkey will select the fleet.
Double tapping a hotkey will center the camera on the fleet.
Hotkeys cannot be re-assigned, so if you want a fleet to be associated with a Hotkey, reposition it in the dock. Other fleets can still be managed from the World Map, and can be seen by scrolling down in the Fleet Management window using your mouse-wheel.
Be sure to name your fleets to make it easier to spot the exact fleet you want. You can rename your fleet in the Dock. Details below.
Setting and recalling a defending fleet is not supported with this feature.
Last Note: pay attention to your fleet manager! If a fleet you are not watching enters combat, that fleet will light up to try and get your attention.
BLITZ FOR ADVANCED RESOURCES
Blitz targets for Uranium, Base Parts, and Titanium have been added to the World Map. Find these targets through your locator in game. These targets will not be available on Battle Pirates HQ mobile app just yet.
Note that the Blitz option is disabled in these targets if the amount you obtain by Blitzing would take you over your maximum storage limit.
