Yep, bit of a mystery

It's their buddy/neighbour list that would make you a stop on their itinerary rather than your buddy/neighbour list
But you do have to have had some FT link at some point

Maybe lump the ''who the Dickens are they?s'' in our Seaport Managers together in a yellow submarine with the Port Unknowns on our Ships Itineraries and send them all off on a "Magical Mystery Tour''

LOL Must be on their buddy list. If they come in my port again I'll have to remember to go by their farm and check. Thanks for the help.

I have a ship stuck in my last port (an inactive neighbor) how do I get it to move? BobG184

Hi BobG184,

I'm sorry but at this time you can not skip the last port. This might be changed in a future release. They will have to load the ship or it will return to you once the 7 days are up.

You're just a different kind of "psychologically sturdy".

I like playing the ships and I'm not tellin' which category I fall into.

I'm none of the three choices! I can't often log in and I feel just terrible about it. I might have to fire off an angry letter to SlashKey illustrating my distress over this 'feature'.

I'm happy with the ships. Free products with minimal effort. Of course sometimes the ships sit in a port forever (well it feels like that lol) but after 24 hours I just skip them. And sometimes a ship comes in ahead of schedule (big shout out to all who moved the cargo quickly )

The best part for me is all the discussion - hours of entertainment.

And the curiosity about where the devs are going to take the ship feature. Each time I log on I wonder if and what the ship developments might be. I will spend FC for the container manager when it comes out...and then...wait for it...commenters will say stuff like 'I can't believe we have to pay FC for that!'

Yep! The 3 choices are for people who are happy (enough) with the ships. You're NOT happy with them so it makes sense that you don't fall into any of those categories.

Yeah - I was thinking about this earlier today. For people who are complaining that they don't have time to sign in so much during the day, they could still load maybe one container in the morning before they start their day and - if they wanted - another one in the evening. That would only be 2 of the 10 containers but, on the other hand, it's free stuff you get for VERY little effort.

[ftjill]

I admit that most of the time my ships only have 3 loaded containers. Those 3 containers have the products I most need - and if I get a chance to load a few more - that's a bonus I wasn't expecting. I usually load one container in the morning and the remaining two in the evening. Free stuff that really helps me for very little effort.
