At the rate this thread is going it seems like the whole game will be completely automated if grim has his way. Just press 1 click and you have a full fleet completely leveled and off trading an optimal route. Wont be much of a game at that point. I think its fine as it is when it comes to building ships and leveling them.

anyway -1 from me.

I honestly didn't know that we had a mass upgrade tool. I know it was discussed but I didn't know it was implemented. I understand that the larger you are the more time consuming it becomes to manage fleets; however, I don't think we should add too much automation to this game. Being a large merchant has its drawbacks, which you should understand before becoming a large merchant. You choose the path you take, some purposely limit their number of fleets to a smaller manageable size while at the same time still providing sufficient profits. If being a large merchant is too difficult to manage, you should consider consolidating and downsizing to a more manageable level.

Jeez Grim, if it is that hard to scroll and click why don't you get someone to write a script to do it for you?

Notice how I didn't tell you to write a script? Yeah, I'm sure you can guess why.
If you didn't want your ass shot off, you shouldn't have stuck it out so far.

As I am only on 14hrs a day that time saving is important. :D

Only 14 hrs? You obviously are not taking this game serious enough. Are you retiring?

And I was just about to suggest Auto Raid.

It casts and reviews spy networks and trademasters to find you targets, when it determines your best target it moves your user determined attack fleets to the appropriate port, casts voodoo based upon user defined preferences, attacks the target when they light, auto repairs between attacks and buries the gold. It can be set to cast hideout and protection voodoo afterwards. It will then convert gc to credits and restock your chest, also base on user defined preferences. Can set time interval for raids or set to just start automatically when your turns replenish.

those who like it may also be interested in Auto Cap

All those user-defined preferences sound like very hard work : cant it just be set to work all that out itself? I mean.. we are busy people!

Why bother with that. You can just cast the "I Win The Game" Legendary Voodoo Card.

As i stated in other threads, this was the downfall of many great browser games. User developed bots that did just the things you are sarcastically describing.

note:: new theme, new paragraph.

Having to upgrade each ship individually serves a purpose. It should be motivation for a player to change their set up, if in fact it is that much of an annoyance. I have been lit up only twice in my relatively short stint on PG, but each time i made adjustments and learned.

Just a humble opinion

Too much effort : the perfect game is this : register : then every 24 hrs you get an e-mail back saying 'Wow, you so awesome dude, you won the game again!' : that's it, all that is needed to keep the customer happy!
