Ship Market - "My Auctions" Additions

How many "slips" or whatever you are using vs how many you have, and the link to buy more.

The only way I've found to access this page is by actually building a ship to sell and trying to sell it. Sucks when you can't remember how many spots you have, and then if you're full you have the ship you just built out there dangling in the breeze.

Also, I understand the reasoning behind not allowing pulling ships off the market, but maybe you could allow upgrading your own ships while they're up for sale? It would allow getting stalemated ships that won't sell for even 1 cred off the market.

Approved as a Mini for only the used and available ship slots.

Once a ship is on the market, it is as it stands. It will either be sold to another player or pending a future update be able to be sold to shipwright.

Kinda quick there to disallow the suggestion before any can discuss its full merits?

Why should it be such an issue to upgrade a ship awaiting sale the better to sell it?

The proposer did not ask to be able to remove it so why raise that as an issue?

If, at some future date, sale direct to shipright is permitted then upgrading a sale carries its own risk... if still unsold only 70% of the upgrade costs comes back to you.

Personally I think both elements of the suggestion are worthy of implementation.

The idea was previously discussed and rejected in favor of allowing players to lower the starting price and eventually selling to the shipwright. There is no reason to rehash out the idea of upgrading within the Ship Market as nothing has changed since the last discussion.

However, if you feel to discuss this specific point, you are free to do so.

I bought 150 "slips" just to avoid running out of room.

Ability to sell to shipwright from the market would solve the problem for sure.

In the meantime, or for posterity, re: my first suggestion - the link to check number and buy new slips is here: https://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?p ... ease_slots
