Today's Waters — a different featured ship every day. Field it in a friendly or short ranked battle and earn +25% gold and Research Points. The home screen names the day's ship, and it's badged FEATURED when you pick your fleet. Also in this update: • New players jump straight into their first battle with a single tap • PLAY AGAIN is now the main button after your first battle • Tournament rounds that run out of time now end properly, and a coin-flip forfeit no longer counts as a ranked result • BTN medals are awarded on the rating you see on screen • Accepting a friend's battle invite takes you out of the short-battle queue • Randomize places the biggest ships first and finds a valid layout more reliably • With game sounds off, BattleTabs no longer interrupts audio from other apps • We now ask about notifications after your first friendly battle against a real player, not out of the blue • Menus and pop-ups no longer get cut off when the page is zoomed out
