Discussions About Cargo Ships

[VickStix]

I had all 10 cargo's full and I went to send my ship and it tells me that FT is down for maintenance. I sure hope I don't have to start it all over again, or I'm really going to be so ******. You put up an announcement 3 or 4 hours before, so how in the heck are we supposed to send out a ship that has spaces left to fill, when it takes a total of at LEAST 10 hours to finish, and you make us WAIT an hour for each one??? I knew it was going to be close, and sure enough, it turned out, that it finished right at midnight my time, and the maintenance wouldn't let me send it.

You should make the maintenance announcements sooner. And you should also let us finish filling our ship up, if you're about to go down for maintenance, and we've already started them.

I have 7 ships, so I have to send them exactly 24 hours apart, or I just have empty ones sitting there. I had two come back early this week. And NOW, I'm probably going to have to start this one all over again, because of maintenance, so I'm going to have 4 empty ones now.

its back up now

sadly maintainence has to happen from time to time and will affect someone

just the nature of IT

Wondering what happens when one of my ships is at another port for nearly 2 days without being filled & sent on? It's the last port of call so I can't bypass it unfortunately.

Will it eventually come home when the time is up for that ship or will I miss out on all that product, time & effort I made to start it a week ago???

Hi Hyacinth,

If the farm owner doesn't load the products then it will remain there until the 7 days are up. After that it will return to you with whatever products were loaded at previous ports.

That's good to know, thank you Tiger.

no the ships are not operational yet. You will find all the current information about them in the latest release thread in the news and announcements section.

when will we get to choose what neighbors get to load our ships?

Hi Tom,
Only the developers know when they will be able to release the change to allow us to change some of the neighbors ports. They don't give us advanced notice of when things will be released. Only thing you can do is watch the current release.

I agree 1000% with you, all these cry babies who did not start when this was an ONE FARM game and none of the factories, trains or other goodies we have.
I LOVE the idea of the ships.
I just see that some players can not be happy with what they have without causing themselves STRESS and being crybabies.

In order to gain all the products from our ships, our neighbors must be regular daily players. Otherwise if our ships get stuck in the port of a neighbor who plays once in a blue moon, then we lose products. I had this experience today when one of my ships came back with 1/5 of the products it would have loaded if 1 of my neighbors did not take her 3 days to visit FT.

I just removed that person from the neighbor list and then unfriended her. I could have just skipped her port, which I have done in the past, but the system would have her in the port list of the next ship, which leaves me with the same problem. So until FT enables us to replace inactive farmers with active ones, I will be unfriending neighbors.
