Insider Update 2.5.3.6 is now live. Captains’ Voyages will be available for the first time to Insiders for them to peruse and try out for themselves. After you have had your fill of adventures head over to the forums and let us know what you think.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Captains of Adventure

**Captain’s Voyages Technical Test**

* Captains are now offered access to a variety of new Voyages provided by the Gold Hoarders, Merchant Alliance, Order of Souls, Mercenaries and Athena’s Fortune.
* These new Voyages allow Captains and their crew to curate their adventure, selecting from specific activities, Voyage lengths and even Voyage difficulty (and resulting reward) before setting sail.

> *In a future Insider’s update, these voyages will be available from the Shipwright and once purchased will then be stored in the captain’s bookcase aboard the Ship, allowing crews to chain Voyages while at Sea.**Insiders have been granted a selection of Captain’s Voyages in their Voyage inventory for testing, simply vote on the Captain’s Table to begin.*

**Ship Announcements**

* Captains can earn customisable banners from completing Milestones, which can be applied to their chosen ship.
* These customised banners will be displayed at the start of a session, when approaching the ship for the first time.
* While out on the seas, players sighting a ship on the horizon should now raise a spyglass. If the Ship sighted is a Captain’s Ship, their customised banner will be shown containing the ship’s name along with the captain’s gamertag.

> *Insiders have been granted a selection of ship announcement banners for testing.*

## Known Issues

**Captains of Adventure**

* When launching the game, players may experience the “Captain My Own Ship” option showing an infinite loading wheel. As a workaround, players should exit and return to the game.
* If a player quits and rejoins certain checkpoints for the tutorial may not save correctly, meaning the player would have to start the tutorial again.
* The naming ceremony that should happen after a player buys a new ship is currently not working as intended.
* Players who try to board their ship a little too quickly after the shipwright section of the captaincy tutorials may find they are unable to progress the tutorial.

**Sea of the Dammed Technical Test**

* Insiders seeking to participate in this Technical Test again within the same session will not be offered the option from Larinna. To gain access to the Adventure Technical Test again, simply leave the game and start a new session.
* If two or more crews enter the Tunnels of the Dammed at the same time, they may find themselves appear underwater on arrival in the Sea of the Damned.
