Flying Lab Software announces the Power & Prestige expansion is due in August for Pirates of the Burning, offering the first major expansion for the seafaring MMOG, adding four new factions, Port Governance, a new "brawling" combat school, and more than 60 new missions. "With nearly 2 million ships sunk on the Burning Sea over the last 2.5 years, our players have been busy," said Russell Williams, CEO of Flying Lab software. "We have been listening to our players and incorporating their input as much as possible into this new expansion. We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved, as this expansion allows players to reach new levels of power and prestige!" Update: The headline for this story originally erroneously said the expansion is due next month.
