As most of us know, the ship market is a great place to sell your best ships, or a graveyard for those unwanted. I'm suggesting that there be a way to invest extra credits/gold into the bidding process on your own ships so they could be placed ahead in their section.

For example, I wanted to sell Howker (#99999) for 100 credits. Lo and behold, there are 200 other Howkers being sold! "How will mine ever be noticed?! Wait... what is this? I can add 5 credits to go ahead of everyone's ships who did not bid more than that! Cool! Thanks Chalbaud."

This would promote the quicker selling of ships. Some disadvantages, however, would be that the rich could be selling ships while the newer players would suffer just a little more. Perhaps a time limit of how long it can be boosted up is possible.

Another solution to this problem is to add a timer to the ship market like there is in the voodoo market so all ships will be seen no matter what their advertisement cost

+1 to the idea and i will like to add also the ability to get a ship out of the Market. It's unreasonable not to have this exit button! I would love to discuss the pros and cons of this if you believe the opposite!

+1 I would love ways to do more advertising in the game without the need for the forum. Selling special number ships and promoting a bank are 2 that come to mind right away.

I'll drink to that.. That would be a wonderful implement.. a factor that will be determined only by the progress of players.

I did suggest a while back that the bank front page be editable : thus bankers could 'advertise' special offers or terms where clients can easily see it by clicking on a banks link...

Here is my suggestion on advertising:

-1 Disapprove

I think wih thought this could be something pretty considerable. Vote move to discussion

I disagree, Clockwork. I think advertising for the ship market is not worth the effort considering there has been discussion on changes how ships are retained in the Ship Market, such as being sold to the shipwright if no bids occur after so long.
