Came up over the weekend, seemed like something I'd want to get my hands into
and _completely_ mess up.

Anyhow, current state of affairs: if a ship sinks anyone in combat, that
ship's captain gets reputation for the sinking. If the captain is not online,
nobody gets anything.

At reboot, I'm making the following change: if the captain's offline, but the
first mate is at the helm, the first mate gets half the points instead of
none. If the first mate is also offline, but the officer is at the helm, then
the officer gets a third of the points instead of none.

In theory, this is a pure upgrade. Melemkor of course has the right to revert
this change without warning.

Okay: turns out ship rep is on a more complex system than I saw at first. Just
a few...hundred...lines of error messages. Change reverted, but this issue can
be revisited later.

Sorry about that.

As Shinarae has discovered, ship code isn't exactly what it seems at the
moment. There's some significant lib changes going on for some special stuff
arriving. While some changes are internal to help promote easier future
development of part of the game, they come in tandem with a surprise...they
conveniently fall together. Keep your eyes open.
