Tutorial & Combat, Second PassLIVE DATA

Time from character creation. Three acts again — Intro (light), outfitting (mid), combat (dark) — but this run is 26:10 to Intro complete vs 6:50 last time, and it carries a red band: the server went silent at 04:06:31 and a new one cold-started at 04:15:45 — 9:14 of dark, mid-voyage to the pirate island. There was no session_end and no server_shutdown drain: it died, it did not stop. The Navigation-2 level-up at 04:06:31 was earned again at 04:16:13, so ~2 minutes of progress since the last checkpoint went with it.

Session 2 has no session_end — the server died under it at 04:06:31 and its length is to-last-event ("+"). Session 4 was still live when this data was pulled (04:41:16), same convention. Total time in world 1h 23m across a 1h 24m wall-clock span.

Gap since the previous step in the same chain; the first Battleship bar is measured from the start of session 2 (the chain was picked up after a relog). Warehouse and first ship are the long poles again (4:46 and 10:30), as is the anvil→cannons stretch on the Battleship side (9:06). Note the played server was one build behind the current step table: it emitted the older 12-step Intro / 12-step Battleship ids — the explicit anvil-scaffold steps that landed after the last report weren't on this server yet, so the anvil is once more folded into the cannons bar. New this build: tut_retrieve_provisions closes the Intro chain, and tutbs_equip_hull_armor is now its own step.

Eight engagements, eight real fights, no ghosts. Last report's two 1.2 s "engagement-teardown artifacts" (dead ships firing a posthumous broadside — see the incident report) are gone; every row here has volleys on both sides.

✖ Fight 1–2: sunk by a trader. The first two rows are the run's story: the first ship engaged after the crash restart was an AI trader battleship (neutral, T1), not a pirate. The player won that fight 100–72 — leaving the hull on ~3 HP — and 11 s later a second trader battleship fired one volley for 3 damage and sank it. Home-dock rescue fired within 2 s (space_hosted island), the ship was repaired (RepairShip at 04:17:28) and relaunched 42 s after sinking. That is the first player wreck the analytics have ever recorded, and the rescue path worked end-to-end. Question for design: should a T1 trader battleship really be a fair fight for a fresh tutorial hull — and should attacking one aggro the whole convoy?

● Fights 4–8: the tutorial fight, properly. Fight 4 was a 2-on-1 against pirates ("×2" — a second merchant joined mid-fight and lapsed out) and still went 151–6. Kills 3–5 came in a 100-second burst (04:37–04:39) with two dead-hull refusals in between. Then the same wall as last time: 19 FireCannon refusals, 16 of them one-per-second at 04:41:01–16 as the last events of the run — 195 cannonballs crafted, and still out. 5 of 15 contract kills.

Resident memory per minute, both server incarnations. A steady ~1 MB/min climb on each — 243 → 312 MB in the 48:02 before the crash, 254 → 290 MB in the 24:01 after — tracking the pirate count line above almost exactly. Tick rate held 11.99–12.00 fps throughout and CPU stayed under 16 %, so this is not a load stall; it is unbounded growth. 312 MB is not itself fatal, so the crash cause is not proven from telemetry alone — but the growth is real, and it needs the server log from 01A0035A.

39 level-ups across 1h 23m played. Land skills front-load through 04:00, sea skills take over from the first launch, and LandBattle makes its first appearance (2 → 3) from two chickens on the resource island at 04:26 — the first creature kills the analytics have seen from a tutorial run. Navigation reached 11.
