It also depends on how far the ship has traveled, the exact rule is that in the first 3 ports it will require 1 click per container, on the next 3 ports, 2 clicks, therefore, on the last 3 ports of the itinerary it will require 10 clicks per container.

Yeah, I have to agree with the others. Where's the incentive to click 100 times? I have a few neighbors with 200 facilities on one farm. I have to click 100 times there, too, but at least I get goods and points for the NCC for my efforts.

And as someone else pointed out, the less you play FT, the further down you are on the itinerary, and the more you have to click. What's the point in that?

I have a friend who's had my ship for two days, but it's only because she's still learning about the ships herself. Once players get used to this, and the devs tweak the selection process, we should have fewer stuck ships.

For those who think they are over clicking to move move a ship along, download and install a mouse click counter. I have the same program on both my laptop and my desktop. I'm guessing that in the big picture that the actual counting of the clicks to be able to know how many clicks were performed could be part of the frustration.

To help de-stress the monotony of clicking, put on some music and click to the beat. You'll be suprised that the clicking will be done way before the song is over.

The problem I'm having with getting my ship moving onto the next port is that my neighbor doesn't understand she has to keep clicking and clicking and clicking until my ship moves on. She said she clicked a couple times and didn't see a Send button and will try again later.

Hio Dulcinea,
I always tell them to click until it disappears.

I understand it's the holiday and some people are busy but it isn't all about that either. I have a neighbor who has my ship at her port for 3 days. Apparently she is having problems with her internet. These kind of interruptions, day to day life and obligations will make it difficult for ships to move forward.

I also question why the need for 30 ports. With all these issues it seems 30 ports are a bit much.

the issue i'm having with my first ship is that it's "stuck" at the port of someone that's not even a FT neighbor, but she's not even on my facebook friends' list!! how is that possible?

Hi Minxie,
They may have been a neighbor/friend before and still have you as a neighbor where you don't have them as a neighbor. I have a few of those and they have at least worked my ship.

I still think it's not a good idea to require so much. It's not just the monotony, it's really not good for us physically. That may sound like a dweeb response or something but I take physical health seriously. I don't have any debilitating physical conditions that have made me unable to use a mouse but I have enough "twinges" that I am conscious of wanting to limit the number of mouse clicks to make sure I DON'T go down that path. I think if I knew I had to click 100 times, I'd feel pretty torn. I'd definitely WANT to help the neighbor, but not sure it would be worth it.
