I know people have to sleep and they don't spend their entire waking day on FT, but I have to think if someone hasn't been here in over 24 hrs, I can skip the port. Sometimes, though, I think even 15 hours is too long. I don't really want to send messages to ask people to load my ships.

I haven't gotten to all 30 ports either. I have to skip a lot too.I try to keep in mind that people have lives outside of the game. I try to load my neighbors ships as much as I can but like a lot of people I have a real job which takes precedence loading a fake ship. I can't be there all day loading neighbor's ships nor do I expect others to be there waiting for mine. I get on the game in the evening after work and I send out what ships are waiting for me then. I usually wait 24 hrs and if my ship hasn't been loaded I send it on.
