Hi billybhouy,
I moved your post from Suggestions to the General Feedback thread about Cargo Ships as you were not making a suggestion.

playing SHIPS is causing me to resent spending time with this game. Don't any of the developers play this game. They must know the delays with ships and ports that are so frustrating.

I have always wondered how many of them play, they would have to play to some degree to know how everything works. I have also wondered if there was a test group that got to try the new stuff first and see how it worked and report back on problems.

one good thing about this preparation time for the ships, its taught me to use the Alarms & Clocks app on Windows 10, and to use the Timer setting, set it to 45 mins when prep starts, when a new container starts prep, just hit the reset arrow on the Timer and no need to worry about forgetting to check..

I think slashkey is trying to punish us by skipping ports. I have put 3 ships back in play after putting them in storage and the 30th on all 3 is neighbors that I've had to skip. Can 3 be a coincidence?

No, not a coincidence. Less active/helpful neighbors are placed at the bottom, so it would make port 30 would be neighbors you've have to skip.

These two are not the least active, they are the ports I had to skip before my ships went into storage. I'm not a dummy I know how it suppose to work, the least active are your last ports but like I said they are not the least active but the only ports I had to skip. So like I said slashkey is putting the neighbors we SKIP at the bottom. My thought they want to SELL TOOLS !

They weren't on the bottom until I brought my ships out of storage. Not a coincidence is questionable !

HI ladydiva,
There aren't any Slashkey people sitting there and picking your itineraries. It is done by the computer program that looks first at the neighbors in the Activity log under your farms and then fills in the rest of the list with those most active in your list of neighbors. Apparently that neighbor is active but not doing the ships and that is why they end up on your itineraries.

Exactly, that's my point. The ports we skipped are recognized by the program and placed at the last port forcing us to stay out 7 days. I will put mine back in storage until it's more user freindly like the trains.
