I was wondering how one proves to the buyer that the immigrants have been delivered and how many : given that populations shift daily as folk buy influence, add TI's, or cast BD's : also, there is no record of how many trips actually get made, so, how will the numbers be calculated to ensure both sides get a honest reckoning?

We can create bounties perhaps for this. To automagically calculate these for you.

Or better contracted shipping. I think that suggestion is now closer than we realize.

I made both suggestions. Nation bounties, and contract shipping, either will cover this.

some sort of contract shipping is very appealing

at the very least it would be 4 mil per day I'm moving population with atleast 100 of my ships.. yeah I don't see this being a very good way to move people really it would take a long time to move large numbers.. I think

100 ship(assuming 5 lmm) will carry at most 288k population per day(lets say 1 hour routes at most). Lets compare with akritori which keeps the smallest pop as a port with 23.4m(there isnt any closer port for a 1 hour route which makes even worst the results). in that case paying 4m for 288k pop(equal to total pop's %1.25 ) not worth it at all. Buying TI with 10-11 credits will make same pop with even less prize and too much less efforts. if im wrong just let me know. im not here t ruin your business its just current transfer rates not seems that powerful.
