Hi Dr Dirt,
It could be ships that the time expired. It has been just over 7 days since the ships were released. I had 1 that the time expired and it returned after only 15 ports.

Make the Cargo Ships optional. I have a lot of good neighbors who send gifts, help with cop op quest, work my facilities. But they don't play the cargo ships. They don't want to. It takes time checking in often. Some people do not play every day. Yet they are bad mouthed because they don't click on neighbors ship quickly. Please make optional like the co op quest.

Strange thing just happened ... wanted to let y'all know. I skipped a neighbor on my Brown ship - it sat in her port for over 2 days, and I will not keep bugging neighbors with notes. That was an hour ago. Well, she just messaged me 10 minutes ago with a note that said she 'helped me' with the ship. Odd .... did not realize the neighbors you skip can actually still help ... unless we are on a time difference ...

I don't think it's right that FT select whose farm our ships go to. I believe we can only pick 10. That so sucks. The developers don't play the game so why should they choose our list. I would rather choose my own 30 as I know who will work the ships when they arrive in their port and who won't. What if the developers pick neighbours that are not working the ships!!!!!

Hi Queen.of.Clutter,
It could be that she loaded it at the same time you were skipping her. Not sure if her load would count though to add to totals.

- You should now see ships from non-neighbours (for example, friends who are not your neighbours) in your Seaport Manager as well, so every time you see a red circle on the Tool Box icon, you should have ships waiting in your port.

.

FYI I had a phantom ship this morning when I got on, counter said 5 ships but only 4 were visible. Thought maybe it came in before the fix was applied. Just an hour ago I had the red circle showing 1 ship had arrived, but nothing there when I opened the Seaport Manager....so I am still getting those.

Everything else worked as expected. TY for the fewer clicks and the coins! I like helping neighbors and less clicks is sure helping me do that!

I actually sort of like the challenge of the way it is now. It adds an element of chance and encourages me to strategize differently each time. I may be in the minority but just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I got your boat this morning and sent it happily on its way.

The original itinerary will be made up of that list at the bottom of our screen that says "So and so sent you a gift/accelerated your train/whatever". That way, all 30 people will have actively helped US on OUR farm very recently. I think this is going to be better. We'll have a better list to start with, we'll be able to replace some of the people on it, and we'll be able to skip ports anytime we want to. When we skip, we won't earn the rewards for that step, but that seems like it will make it part of the fun - that seems like a good step to me.

Thank you, thank you for the rapid response to the ship problems. This will make a big difference in the satisfaction of this new addition to our game!!!

Thanks for the changes! I like being able to skip ports because then I don't have to annoy my neighbors who don't want to do ships. I don't mind losing some products to avoid bugging others. I'm really enjoying the ships
