Mission System

Gain experience is the main goal on “NAUTIC XP”. You can either just go out and gain XP by sailing, or you do one of the following missions:

Net fishing
Go out and find a fishing spot. Once your fish sonar shows some fish, pull out the net and fill it up

Car ferry
Several locations allow you to establish a ferry route on the map

Transport
Our main harbors have transport items available you can deliver to a bunch of different locations like

Offshore facilities
Windparks
Landing piers
Other harbors

Repair
The rough weather at the coast leads to regular defects on the buoys spread out over the map, support the authorities and replace the defect buoys

Tug boat
Big ships need regular support on leaving or entering the harbor. Go out with the tug boat and pull them into position

Rescue
Our costal waters are sometimes a dangerous place. With our rescue fleet you can go for a patrol mission and help other vessels

Fire fight
Our Offshore vessel is equipped with powerful water cannons, ready to engage every fire out there!

Dry dock
Some main harbors are equipped with a dry dock, where you can repair your damaged ship

Harbor merchant operations
Harbor operations with big ships are a challenge on its own. Develop procedures to enter or leave the different harbors with our merchant fleet!

In addition, XP will be gained based on weather conditions and your selected difficulty level.

Weather XP will be provided on difficult weather conditions like storm, night, heavy wind or fog. Don’t expect to gain Weather XP on a sunny day 😊.

Gaining XP is not the only thing. You can also loose XP once the ship’s hull is damaged, you get flooding or you sink the ship.

Are you ready to gain some XP?
