Captain, there was assets wipe at the end of May, player had to take certain actions to save their experience on every server since experience does not share between all servers now (in case they were inactive by the time of wipe), each character has its own progression now. After the wipe four ships, experience and forged papers (item to change a nation if needed) were provided as redeemables.
Captain, do you mean you cannot enter any combat as it always says connection timed out? is the character name the same as your forum nickname, and what server?
Captain, it says in the craft window "Produces: Victory Blueprint".
Meanwhile please remember that the current UI is a placeholder and will be reworked.
Captain, it seems there are temporary connection issues for players based in Thailand who play on PVP EU server which are outside of our capabilities unfortunately. Please check the game now - if the issue is not fixed for you, then there are temporary connection issues between the server and your ISP. Could you please also clarify with the ISP if they experienced connection issues to Europe recently?
Captain, please check now if the issue is gone. In case it is still there, it must be connection issues on your side, please try to reboot or check connection in that case.
Captain, there was a bug that blocked fair bidding for other players. It was fixed in one of the patch 11.0 hotfixes at 29 September, more information about the bug here
Do you mean that you find bidding mechanic unfair or there is a bug? If there is a bug, could you please provide more details.
Captains, the first loading time problem depends on various factors, including ssd, free ram available, overall PC performance, amount of ships in the instance etc.
Perhaps we will review pre-battle timer in one of the next hotfixes.
