Sandstorm: Pirate Wars v1.09 release notes: Grapeshot, Captain's Log and free Systems
Now all players finally have the same System Shop. For those of you who didn't have this option before, you can now buy whole packs of Systems in different types of Crates, and pick up one FREE Crate daily! v1.9 also introduces the CAPTAIN'S LOG, a reminder pop-up which keeps you updated on available Daily Missions, active Tavern Missions, and lets you know when your free Systems Crate is ready for collection!
