hi,

whilst bidding on some ships in the ship market I noticed something, when you just bid on a ship, there is no " back " button to go to what you were looking at there is just these 3 options.List Ships Market,Open current's bid window,Check your events list.

I feel the Ships market could be improved by adding a " Back to results " link, which sends you back to what you were looking at, lets say you bid on a ship of the line, but want to bid on offers, you have to go back and select sotl's and bid on another one...

This is how, by creating a back button you could improve the Ship market.

I agree with that, but it also needs an ''cancel'' button on your auctions or at least a timer. For example, if i auction a ship and it stays there like 2 weeks and i want it back to sell it to the shipwright at least, i can't get it back.

Another suggestion, how about a "buy it now" section where the first bidder just gets the ship instead of it going through the auction period.

Or instead of first bidder, it works like Ebay...if you pay my price you get it instantly...

Exactly what I was thinking of

Xcailorz I agree that could be done easy and it is needed.


Georgiy,Cubes,Brazz those things were suggested an declined because that would lead twoards manipulation with ship market.

Georgiy - you can do that if ships is less than 50K worth so that person don't lose spots in marina due the lvl 1 howker...

Captain Jack wrote:A little refinement:
-Any ship with a market value (on 100%) less than 50K that has not been sold in 15 days time, can be sold to the shipwright (for the 70% normal fee).

This, can be accepted.

P.S. I edited number in CJ post from 30 to 15 as it was accepted to reduce from 30 to 15 days

For bigger ships it would give huge space for manipulation. Example: You want to protect SotL lvl 10 you put it there and put price 3000 credits noone would buy it and your ship would be protected from plundering that way ship market lose it's purpose and become free protection.


Brazzler and Cubes - I was part of the thread which wanted that to be implemented and I forgot why it was declined I'll try to find that threat and post link here, if someone else find that threat first they are more than welcome to post link

EDIT: It is the same topic as previouse quote and it seems that we never got reply on it so it is either delayed or declined...


I hope that this helped you a little


Sincerly,

A back to results would be a great addition, not just on the ship market but the voodoo market as well.

I think bulk bid alleviates some of the reason for this, but even with that, after placing a bid it should take you back to the previous page.

+1 definitely approve, I have found this annoying more than once.

Approved

By clicking "List Ships Market" you get back to results. It is already so.
