*update*
We sincerely apologize for the server down issue earlier today. All retail accounts will
be extended by a day to make up for the few hours that were lost today. I hope this
is fair.

Dear fans of NF,

I wish to inform you of the updates planned for tonight. Expect the servers to be
down for this update from 10PM to 1AM Pacific Standard Time. The patch will contain
the following addtions:

1. Escort Ship Mode:
A new option that will give players the ability to make use of ships that may
previously have been left in harbor. You can make a ship into an "escort" they will
then go to battle alongside you. The "escort" ship will be AI controlled and be useful
in a variety of ways including: protecting CV from little FFs, or providing BBs AA
support for example.

Please note:
-The price for forming an escort ship is 5% the cost of the ship.
-1% the base escort forming price will be charged every battle.
-Sailors onboard an escort ship will not recieve EXP.
-Sailors onboard an escort ship cannot be used until you dismiss the ship.
-You will not recieve reimbursement after dismissing the ship.
-All ships up to CL level are capable of being escorts.

Warning!: Escort ship AI is not smart enough to differentiate between enemies and
allies at all times. They may attack you if you are positioned between the escort and
an enemy. They may also attack both ships if ally and enemy ships are close to each
other. So please use the escort at your own risk. Please use the "+ and =" keys to
turn on and off the escort fire mode.

2. Error messages get more specific.


We hope that you enjoy the new escort ship option. Thank you for your patience
during the server downtime.

Thank you for playing Navy Field,

Team NF.
