Discussions About Cargo Ships

I think slashkey is trying to punish us by skipping ports. I have put 3 ships back in play after putting them in storage and the 30th on all 3 is neighbors that I've had to skip. Can 3 be a coincidence?

No, not a coincidence. Less active/helpful neighbors are placed at the bottom, so it would make port 30 would be neighbors you've have to skip.

These two are not the least active, they are the ports I had to skip before my ships went into storage. I'm not a dummy I know how it suppose to work, the least active are your last ports but like I said they are not the least active but the only ports I had to skip. So like I said slashkey is putting the neighbors we SKIP at the bottom. My thought they want to SELL TOOLS !

HI ladydiva,
There aren't any Slashkey people sitting there and picking your itineraries. It is done by the computer program that looks first at the neighbors in the Activity log under your farms and then fills in the rest of the list with those most active in your list of neighbors. Apparently that neighbor is active but not doing the ships and that is why they end up on your itineraries.

Exactly, that's my point. The ports we skipped are recognized by the program and placed at the last port forcing us to stay out 7 days. I will put mine back in storage until it's more user freindly like the trains.

Hi ladydiva,
The program does not check to see who you skipped. Only thing it checks is to find the most recently active neighbors. If a neighbor you skip is active recently then they go on your list.
When they release the ability to exchange up to 10 on the list then you can remove that one.

When I said "least active," I meant the ones who help you the least. Isn't the port order based upon those who work our facilities, send us gifts, send our ships on their way, etc.? Well, if that's the case, skipping someone's port because they didn't send your ship on the way should put them lower down on your itinerary.

Geez, I stated my opinion in a general discussion and you want to keep debating. My ships are going back to storage. I'm done.

Hmmm. I guess you don't see that I was agreeing with you. While I can't say it's deliberately done for the reasons you stated, I think it's been a no-brainer since the beginning that a FC tool would follow. I'm guessing it'll be something along the lines of a "Load All" button, being as they eliminated the ability to load all containers simultaneously in different tabs.

But as far as the itinerary goes, as Taz said, the ability to switch out ten ports is coming soon, so maybe you'll want to give the ships another go then.
