Default Can the preparation times on containers be reduced?

Q. Can the preparation times on containers be reduced?

A. Yes. Starting with ships dispatched after 17th May 2017 9pm EST the more ships you have dispatched over the past 7 days the faster your containers can be prepared.



This is a list of all the possible preparation times for the ships and containers.
Ships dispatched in the last 7 days / Container prep time

When you start preparing a container, a second help icon appears on the container to the right of the container time, indicated with the red arrow in the picture below. The second help icon only shows during the preparation of that container. You can click on it and see the explanation for the preparation time for that container.



In the pop up that appears it will tell you the container preparation time based on how many ships you have dispatched in the last 7 days and how many ships you have dispatched in that time.

If you click on "Sure, let me see them" it will show you your dispatch dates in the last 7 days.

Click the “OK, thanks” to close the box.

NOTE: Ships only stay on the dispatch list for exactly 7 days then they drop off the list.

If the preparation time changed whilst you were preparing containers, this is because the time is calculated according to how many ships you had previously dispatched in the last 7 days. For example if you had dispatched 6 ships in the last 7 days and were preparing your Brown ship, the prep time would be 5.1 minutes, but if while you were preparing them one of those ships dropped from the list for being over 7 days old you would then change to a prep time of 5 dispatched ships, 10.2 minutes.

Default Chapter 32 - Ships

How Rewards for sending a Ship on is Calculated:

Your rewards are based on your game level, how fast you sent the ship on and how many containers are on the ship that you load. You have a potential of earning up to a maximum of 1 million coins per ship PLUS 100% of the total products loaded in the ship at the first port of its itinerary.
You would get 1 million coins and 100% of the products loaded at the first port, IF you are in the top 20% of the levels, have loaded the ship within an hour and there were 10 containers on the ship.

Calculating what you will earn uses this formula:

(A x B) gives you the percentage you will earn of 100,000 coins. You then multiply that figure by the number of containers. That same percentage is what you will get from the total products loaded in the ship at the first port of its itinerary.
A = 5 if you are in the top 20% of the levels
A = 4 if you are in the top 40% of the levels
A = 3 if you are in the top 60% of the levels
A = 2 if you are in the top 80% of the levels
A = 1 if you are in the bottom 20%

B = 20 if the ship was waiting less than 1 hour
B = 19 if the ship was waiting less than 2 hours
B = 18 if the ship was waiting less than 3 hours
B = 17 if the ship was waiting less than 4 hours
B = 16 if the ship was waiting less than 5 hours
B = 15 if the ship was waiting less than 6 hours
B = 14 if the ship was waiting less than 7 hours
B = 13 if the ship was waiting less than 8 hours
B = 12 if the ship was waiting less than 9 hours
B = 11 if the ship was waiting less than 10 hours
B = 10 if the ship was waiting less than 11 hours
B = 9 if the ship was waiting less than 12 hours
B = 8 if the ship was waiting less than 13 hours
B = 7 if the ship was waiting less than 14 hours
B = 6 if the ship was waiting less than 15 hours
B = 5 if the ship was waiting less than 16 hours
B = 4 if the ship was waiting less than 17 hours
B = 3 if the ship was waiting less than 18 hours
B = 2 if the ship was waiting less than 19 hours
B = 1 if the ship was waiting OVER 19 hours
The amount of products loaded on all 10 containers in the first port is about 4600.

Example:
You are Level 1045 ( A = 5 ).
The ship was sent in less than 2 hours ( B = 19 ).
10 Containers are on the ship.

A x B ( 5 x 19 ) = 95, which gives you a percentage of 95%
So you get 95% of 100,000 coins per container which is 95,000 coins.
10 containers were on the ship, so you get 10 x 95,000 coins which is 950,000 coins.
PLUS 95% of the total products loaded in the ship at the first port of its itinerary (95% of 4600 = 4370 products in rewards).
