Your own shots, kept
When you fly over a real ship and photograph it, the game gives you a card for it. Until now that card wore a generic look, and the screenshot you actually took — the one framing that vessel, from your angle, over your patch of sea — just dropped into your downloads folder and was forgotten. That always felt backwards. The photo is the proof. The photo is the point.
The shot is the card
Now, when you catch a vessel, the frame you were looking at is kept. On a successful spot the freshest capture from your session is uploaded and pinned to that card as its proof. Open your collection and the card shows your photograph, not a stock icon. It is best-effort by design: if the upload hiccups, the catch still counts and the card is still yours — the photo just fills in when it lands. Nothing about grabbing a spot got slower.
Your collection lives on your public page, at /{username}/dex, alongside your rank and everything else you have caught. If you have not set a username yet, do it from your profile — it is what these pages hang off (see career pages for the whole spine).
A wall of everyone who caught it
Every vessel now has its own page, and near the top of it there is a 📸 Spotted wall: the proof photos from everyone who has ever caught that ship, each with the handle of the person who took it. The same tanker off Rotterdam looks different in a dozen people's shots — different light, different weather, different height — and now those sit side by side. It turns a solo catch into a shared record of a single real object, which is the whole idea behind flying spots and the collection: one world, many eyes on it.
Both your collections sort now
Smaller, but you asked for it directly: the two places that hold what you have caught finally sort.
Your collection catalogue at /{username}/dex was rarity-first and nothing else — the rarest ships up top, forever. Now there is a chip row: Newest, Oldest, Rarity, Largest, Most shot, and Name A–Z. Oldest walks back through your catches in the order you made them; most-shot surfaces the vessels you keep photographing; largest sorts by tonnage. Change the sort and the page starts fresh from the top.
Your saved gallery — the album of moments you have kept — sorts the same way: chips for Newest, Oldest, Public first, and By place. Newest is the default. Oldest walks you back through everything you have shot in order, so you can actually see what you did and when. Public-first floats the moments you have shared to the top; by-place groups shots from the same city together. It shows up as soon as you have more than one saved moment.
None of this adds a new screen or a new step. The shot you were already taking now does more: it becomes the card, it joins the wall, and it stays findable in your gallery. Go catch something — the sea is busy today.
