As a direct action, players should have the option to transfer stored goods between their warehouses. Currently you have to move the goods to a ship/fleet, move the fleet, then unload at the port. There should be an easier more direct means to do so. Possibly as a fleet option.

+1 once again

That's an awesome idea but then what's the point of trade routes... just buy transfer and sell. Kinda defeats the purpose of trade routes doesn't it?

You can only pickup what is produced by the port using trade routes.

Currently I suspect Treasure Fleet/Flying Dutchman voodoo would be your best option. Assuming you were able to have a way in the game to pay say NPC fleets to transport the goods so not handling with your own fleets, you would then have the issue of potential lost shipments due to skirmish or direct attacks on your carriers. Moving goods once stored is never easy nor should it be.

Aye, but you can pick up anything in your warehouse and move it through your warehouse onto a ship and transport it. It's just not automated.

Yes, that was his point, Stan, that it is not automated. I admit, an automated way would be good for me too.

Agreed. Approved.

I changed the title to what it really is lacking. The existing structure will remain as it is important the fleet to have orders on what to do when the stock of a market runs out.

It gets really complicated though so let me not run into more details about it. I have given it a fairly high priority though.

We should probably also define what we can drop off. Flowcharting is a great thing.
