Can you PLEASE allow us to cancel ship market auctions. Or just do it for 48 hours please like the card market? Please. I've put some ships there and they've stayed there for a long time

What you can do is change the price or announce a good deal. Look for my Fluyt deal I made a while ago and that will give you an idea of how i cleared my Ship auctions out :)

Cant fix it since its not broken. This is how the market has always been.
The FAQ for the market even states in the first line
Once you auction a ship, you cannot cancel it.

Its not broken : its how the Ship Market works and was designed that way to stop folk using it as a cheap and safe place to store ships : it has been asked before and got knocked back for that reason. Maybe if some folk didnt always feel driven to seek to 'game' the system, the devs could rely on a bit of player 'honor' not to do stuff like that : but reality is, if it aint stopped, it will happen.

While it normally is against the rules to arrange sales, I believe admin are fine with arranging sales for ships that wont sell even for a credit to clear up space. Just find someone to do that for you, and compensate them for the cred they are spending.

This is meant to be like this because this way it pervents using ship market as a marina... If they allowe this like you ask then I can put any my high value ships for 10 000 credits (noone will buy them) then after danger is over I remove them from market. There is always a way for dealing with this. Make offer I assume you want to get rid of sloop sell them all for 1 credit. Someone will take the deal. Ask someone to buy them and then return them to you either by comandeer card or by him/her puttng them back on ship market for you to buy and then later you can do with them what you want...

Well, thats not nice but thats how it is.

One suggestion was that a player could remove a ship from the market by selling it to the shipwright (scrapping it) : that would free the slot but they couldnt benefit by getting it back : not a consideration when its a junk howker but may matter when its a lvl10 SotL. But that suggestion never went anywhere.
