I saw this on reddit last night. 

 

It looks like they are re-vamping ship combat:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So apparently you can:

 

1) Board for no damage.

2) Enter ship combat as per the norm.

3) Intimidate to gain money/resources without combat.

4) Parley to try and get ships to stop attacking you without combat. 

 

Looks pretty snazzy. I hope they will fix ship combat to avoid loosing some unique items if you choose to not board.

 

EDIT: It appears that this was part of the patch that got rolled back that also included turn-based combat.

FWIW, I haven't been able to get that new UI in my games. Turned off all mods and started a new game. 

 

Nada.

 

Makes me think it was part of patch that got rolled back and for whatever reason, they're still able to access it.

Yeah, Shoulda verified in my post- It was part of the patch that got rolled back with the turn-based combat update.

Any ETA or roadmap on when this will be in the game and when the game will finally be "content complete"? I don't want to start a full playthrough while they are still overhauling major gameplay systems like this one.

Nadda clue.

 

Maybe a dev will grace us with their presence and let us know!

Is it confirmed that the naval combat remains the same? Otherwise it's more of a UI overhaul than a system revamp. 

Fingers crossed that they'll actually improve aspects of the ship combat rather than just making it easier for players to skip it.

Exactly.

 

I'd love if we could use spells, even if in a limited way. For example: create a cloud to lower their accuracy. But I imagine it would be much more than whatever they are planning.

Yeah, it doesn't look like it will change ship combat itself, but I (hopefully) may be wrong. 

I had it. The combat was the same, only difference was that some bounties (ships) had different stats, like 135 hull. BTW when the patch got rolled back all my progres (saves) is incompatible with game.
