Hi Cornish Lil Princess,
Yes.

just seeking some help here, in the updates for the ships, we are told we can replace up to 10 people... fine.. but I have just discovered that once you have done that... this choice is no longer available on the next ship you start to prepare.. the ships log shows Replace(0) so now with 111 neighbors in farmtown, I can no longer replace someone chosen by the game, takes away my choices.. so the only option left is to skip those who show on the ships log who you know are not prepared to move your ship... I thought we were going to be able to replace up to 10 on each ships log... On this ship I am preparing at the moment I have at least 6 people that need to be skipped.. tempted to just let the time run out for the prep and give up.

The replacement function is great, but could you display theyr real names instead of farm name? Without real names function has no value to me since I've got no chance remembering whos who based on farm name. Many have profile pictures not of them selves but a dog, a flower etc.

I have neighbours in different time zones and would like to adjust with replacement based on this, but now it's an impossible puzzle Hope you consider this

Hi Aussie Rae,
I just started preparing a new ship and I have 10 I can replace. This is the second ship I have prepared since the release of the Replacement capability.
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and try again.

I hope the Raul and crew consider making the ships an opt in option instead of an opt out. Reason being, if someone does not want to play ships, it will not matter to them if your ship sets in their port, just like they are doing now. They will have no incentive to opt out of the program and will continue to annoy those of us that do want to do the ship thing. I think the ships are great but understand not everyone likes them.

Hi PawPaw,
If you wish to make a suggestion please post it in the Suggestions section where the developers can see all of them in one location. You cannot start a new thread there, but you can reply to one that your suggestion fits.

Hi Everyone. Latest update as follows >>

Post-Release Updates - January 29th, 3:00PM

- BugFix: Reset the amount of changes allowed in the itinerary for a Ship every time you start the preparation of that ship. Let's say you made 10 replacements on your Yellow Ship, when the Yellow Ship returned and you started preparing it again, the amount of replacement allowed was incorrectly set to 0, this bug is now fixed moving forward for all ships starting preparation after the release of this fix.

I'm also quite ill and will be away for some periods at a time and I don't like that I am unable, as a courtesy, to close my port. This is a neck hold on us, the players, being forced into doing something the Owner's want us to do.

that was my initial reaction, that the boat schtick was an attempt by slashkey to raise their player numbers, and thus raise their share of the advertising dollars on facebook. the more i think about it, the more true i think that thought.

unfortunately, they didn't consider how annoying the ships would be. i do hope they garner enough return players and newly seduced players to compensate for players like myself who are now too disgusted to pretend we are amused.
