New Release -- January 6th, 2017

[Dutch85]

I want to thank Raul and devs for giving us the best game EVER. Like Farmer Susan, I too spent $40- $50 a month as my entertainment and for me it's well worth it. I make 4FC each week for the quests, and once in a while I get 1 or 2 from the NCC....that plus the FC we get from new levels FOR FREE lets me buy quite a few items. So Raul, keep doing what you are doing...because in my opinion, you're doing it right.

Ty for the update. pls do not make ships to easy i am enjoying the hard word.. it not like we are spending fc on them it is worth the work. just fill them as much as you can then send off. I have not had a single complaint from my neibours..I find now that the hoildays are done more people are working the ships that i have sent out. Sometimes i notice it is same people making issues about things that are added. pls just give them the option to opp out them then they will stop complaning about them..it is just a game have fun playing the game or quite the game. Sorry if you think I am being rude but sometimes I have to say something about it..

And frankly? I sure HOPE it's about the money! The developers have to earn a living just like the rest of us. I don't spend my money on a lot of stuff other people do for entertainment. What I enjoy is FT, so I spend my money here and am happy to do it. Not TONS of money - but maybe around $40 - $50 a month. I get WAY more than that much pleasure out of this game. And I still think this is THE best game on Facebook. I actually hope the developers make lots and lots for their efforts so FT can keep growing and adding new features.

And the part about FT creating negativity and animosity among friends and neighbors? Nope. WE'RE doing that. A game can't MAKE us do anything. I haven't had a single negative note from a neighbor. Not one. Nor have I sent any negative notes out. If a neighbor DID start sending me negative notes, I'd just delete them. Not worth messing with. But FT causing this? I don't think so.

Last rant and then I'll hush: Those of you who say they take too much time. Ok, then don't play. Or fill one or two containers a day and let that be it. Do it however you need to do it. They seem to have a lot of flexibility for all types of folks, all sorts of schedules, etc. Make them what you need them to be or - as some of you have decided - don't use them. But don't make it sound like the ships are bad just because you're not wild about them.

Well said...my sentiments exactly!

I have changed my mind...again... hey I am allowed to, I am a female, right.. sent out 3 ships so far and now just laugh when I see that they all get stuck at farm 1 or 2 for up to a day due to the way the game picks our list of ports... as those people seem to log off for the night as soon as the ship is dispatched... getting used to ships being days in some peoples ports.. seems to be the same people too.. lol... so will wait patiently for the change coming where we can substitute up to 10 on the list, that will be awesome, cheers to the devs and the mods for all their efforts, this game continues to keep us addicted!!

Ha! Glad you're back! To me, that's part of the fun - it's sort of like poker or something - like, "Do I skip this port or wait awhile longer?" Hold 'em or fold 'em.

Thanks, max_river. I like what you're saying, too, about not making it TOO easy. Now that we can skip ports, I'm getting all of my ships back ahead of schedule - been averaging between 0 and 3 skips per ship to get it back in 4-6 days. Once we can swap out neighbors, I anticipate that it'll just take 2-3 days per ship to make all 30 ports. My issue then becomes not liking all the empty ships just sitting around not being used. I'd like to be able to have all 7 going all the time. But I suspect there will be a solution for that at some point.

Thanks Raul and his team....Ships now work fine. All my port unknown is gone. I am smooth sailing.
