Enter doesn't work for me anymore either, and the send button no longer shows anymore when I play on my chromebook. Chat only works if i play on my cell phone now after latest game update. --Update: chat now works, but only if i'm in tablet mode. Better than nothing! =)

How are captains getting lost in this game? Is this a really common issue?

Great idea. It seems the current system discourages players in the long run from collecting lots of ships. Odd for a game about ships..
