Sorry, but could you give more info?? i don't know what you are asking about

Aha! i think i know what your are asking about... :bonk:

Cibelle can be a ship name, and the message means that the ship unit Cibelle has received a "brick" replacement element.
Brick (not bricks) being a small ship type (in fact i think its a different spelling for the Brig type of ship). :thumbsup:

Well, that *is* a rather cryptic message, as such ...

I definitely thought the spelling was "brig".

True in English, but "brick" is the French translation, often used in English version for French ships to add 'flavor'...

I looked at wiki and somewhere it said than brick was the french spelling for brig. Go figure...

In spanish its similarly called brickbarca (literally brick-boat :blink

Cheers!
