I must inform you guys that there is a difference between UI, and game mechanics. This suggestion is to improve the UI for traders because they lack it, a lot, so if you dum* f*ck pirates wanna use that "this is gonna unbalance the game" or "this gonna make the game easier for traders", go f*ck off.

Game mechanics can be as balance as shit for all I care, but a game needs good UI, if the game go and have people do the same action again and again with multiple clicks. That's just sh*t.

I am not the first big trader that made this suggestion, PHK made the same one before but it was shot down with sh*t, dum* f*ck pirates says.

Not certain if that was actually a violation, grims ship count is public knowledge. Its posted in stats. Pretty easy to estimate fleet count from that.


-1 to the idea. You can already task up to 20 fleets at a time using the trade route pages.

I have 150 trade routes, it takes me all of about 5 minutes to send them wherever i want.

I find this unnessecary.

Now this made me laugh... clearly not clever enough to come up with a viable and useful game suggestion more than once in 10,000 suggestions yet calls others dumb f*ck pirates....

So you know Gul.. traders shot it down too.

Actually the more i think about this i can retask fleets that are still moving using trade routes.

In your suggestion you would have to pause the fleets and wait till they arrive at port. Then send them to another port. Then if you forget to set up another trade route after that they will just go back where they were when you un pause. So this suggestion just adds a bunch of steps to what you can already do.

I have similar but more useful suggestion, i will post in a few minutes.

+1 The ability to select multiple fleets on "New Destination" would be very beneficial.

To be honest I have been in a situation or 2 before wanting this feature. And if Blockades ever come out I think some will want this.

My current process for moving multiple Fleets is kind like what Will said.

Click on fleet
Click on Start New Trade Route
Enter in Desired Port
Select Multiple Fleets I want going here
Start
Wait 1 min for Fleets to engage
Go into Trade Routes
Select all Fleets I just assigned
Terminate Route

This in theory works but you may still get Fleets to the the second port listed first.
