Captain Lust is not even a "proper" Taleworlds Member. He is community Manager, which means that he admins the forum. I think (I am not sure though...) that he does not do any game related stuff. Anyway, his information is wrong. We have been in the talks with Taleworlds about the Naval Patch since we met them at Gamescom last year. That was August or early September, if I remember right.
