I do know the animal products train car does not bring a lot, so expect the ship container will not bring a lot either.

Ha! Ok, thanks. I would think it would be doubly hard to be a moderator if you're doing it semi-blind. I hope YOUR ship isn't stuck somewhere or we might never get answers! LOL

I have just noticed that the number of items loaded in the containers has not increased since the first person loaded them. 2 more neighbours have loaded since then. Yesterday it stated waiting at Port (Name). Now it says at the top unload ship

P.S. Thanks for being here and working the holiday. It's nice to get our questions answered so quickly. You're awesome.

I have a ship stuck in my 3rd neighbor's port. I messaged her and she was kind enough to try and move it. She went to the ship manager icon in her tool box and clicked on my ship. Nothing happened. She tried that twice. Are we missing something here? I have yet to have anyone in my port so had no experience to guide her with. SO - just what the heck do our kind neighbors have to do to get our pesky ships OUT of their ports????? Can you offer any help on this Taz and company?

Thanks

I'm stuck at Port #2 and it says Port Unknown. There was a person listed, but I went into My Neighbors and she wasn't a neighbor. I reloaded and now it's Unknown. So, I guess the ship can't move to the next port since Unknown will never load.

I had a neighbor's ship in my port this morning... I just clicked on it several times (once for each cargo container she prepared) then it disappeared, hopefully went to next port and didn't get caught in Bermuda Triangle like some seem to have done.

If we have to spend all this time preparing these ships to send out and then they get stuck in someone's port and we can do nothing about it, I can tell you I will not be doing this. We NEED a way to get the ship to move after a given amount of time like 8 yrs or so. Not the whole 7 days.

Maybe if the Devs would show it in the 'my requests' tab the people not participating in the ships would do it (like the Trains). I know this is going to cause a lot of minimal players to lose neighbors because we will delete them so we can play the game the way we want to. On my first ship the first neighbor did it in 2 minutes and now it is stuck at Port#2 for 18 hours. I don't want to contact this neighbor and ask her to do it... so I will just hope for the best. Not very encouraging for the players who actually participate in the challenge. Maybe a time limit would work the best because at least it will keep moving. The devs have to do something for sure.

Maybe a preference could be added whereby the player chooses whether or not he/she wants to be part of the ships operation. If a player opts out, ships would not be sent to their port (and they wouldn't be able to dispatch ships, either). If a player knows they are going to be away from FT for a while, they could choose to opt out temporarily.

That is a great idea. They did it for the Funeral home so why not the ships? Maybe a time limit and also the opt in and out check mark somewhere the in
Preference tool. Hope they do something soon!
