    Yeah I can't wait for more voyages and getting my third ship. I think from here on out I'm only going do missions to buy ship upgrades, crew or the fourth ship. Ill consider upgrading to get better chances at captains when I finish buying my third ship because my captains are looking nooby.

    Problem I think its going to be hard to send all three ships with good %s at scythe at least until the entire crew is T4 which might take a few days.

    Haven't had any problems yet. +1600 cherrywood so far today. My first ship is currently combat-focused (~8.2k combat), the other two grind the 3600/3600 and similar missions, each with a bureaucrat & trader for 25% bonus rewards. So far, all ships are getting over 90% (except on things like 5000 all or higher).

    Thanks for the tip. Its probably going to get harder as we progress more into the region maybe.

    So you have in stock what, 6 of each basic type of crew? I can think on situations where that maybe doesnt even cut it? mm

     

    ill have to see when I get new voyages today with 3 ships :P

    "Y'arr Captain, what does t' lookout say about thar seafaring r'quirement?"

     

    "IT BE OVER NINE THOUSAND MATEY!!!!!"

     

    Semi-OT: That feeling when all three of your ships are equipped with lotus-tinted spectacles and your snipers go from level 0 to 2 in one voyage :thumbup:

    wow nice

    Grr the hook is pissing me off, getting fried by hard missions, and really cant get on top of them as I don't have enough time to play atm to level up my guys, and don't have enough slate to buy t3 crew/full ship upgrades... the wammy is that you need the best hull/deck upgrades and high level crew to get good success rates on high slate missions

    Since you need slate anyways, risk them. Try to get as high as possible and you'll end up in the good track

     

    My problem is I dont have enough crew rerolls which are worth buying BUT I have enough slate :P

    Skull region captains cost 2.5k each and offer 200 to all stats and 500 to their speciality, whereas Hook region captains cost 10k and offer 350 to all stats and 700 to their speciality (I think)

    This. Unless I guess they have a modifier from a trait or something as she said 300 base stat for 2.5k chimes

    There seems to be a bug with the timer; all 3 of my last voyages have finished at least an hour and a half early after I logged out and in again during them. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I did.

     

    I had the complete opposite...

     

    1 voyage took over 12h

    I just sent a 3.30h voyage.. and since my connection keeps dropping i login/logout every 2 minutes, and 10 minutes later the voyage had failed :(

    Would rushing to the 3rd ship slot be a good idea? Or should we be trying to get ship upgrades/ tier 3 crews then ship slot add?

    As long as you can manage to send all your voyages within a day with 2 ships you should stick with 2 I guess.

    The way I would do it is ->Deck items->Crew->Rest of ship upgrades

    One last upgrade missing for deck items on hook region. Then renew the crew and lvl them up hopefully tomorrow.. so far i dont see a need to go back to skull/arc.. i've been sending all my voyages with max 80%success and only failed 1 of all of them. Even passed a Chi voyage with 45% success..

     

    Maybe its because im only at 20% completion of Hook and voyages get harder? Who knows.

    Anyone that was interested in the remote desktop thing, I looked into it, unless you have Windows professional or business your SOL, home premium doesn't work.

     

    SOL? Ultimate here smile.png

     

    Sh*t out of luck.

     

    Though of course remote desktop has many flaws anyway and using a simple, but cheap, piece of software like VNC will do the job.

    You just have to have the VNC server running, with a password, on the system you wish to control and then VNC viewer can then log on to it via ip address easily.

    I use VNC all the time - use my laptop to turn off my desktop across the room after using it as a dvd/blu-ray player at night. Use my smartphone to turn off laptop/desktop after leaving them on to finish downloads/updates. Connecting to Mum's desktop from university (hundred odd miles away) to help her if she gets stuck doing something.

     

    And how would you do this from a phone?

    You think it is possible to pull it off with a galaxy ace? :P

    Well POP has been really fun so far, but i have reached the Hook area and now face a huge dilemma. I am only going to be able to send 4-6 voyages each day. (I guess the biggest downside is that I will be falling way behind everyone else). I can send two out before work and maybe get 4 in after work but even that isn’t looking like it will be possible every night. I guess I will just have to reroll the voyages so that I only go on ones that can get 90% or higher on because if I fail one mission it only sets be back that much further. Im also thinking of focusing on the skull region since I can get in 6-8 missions of that type done each day and just upgrade the buildings. Then in a few more days I can maximize the few missions would be able to do each day in the hook.

     

    go for a 3rd ship :)

    I think as far as progression goes you'll want 5 seafare, 5 combat, 5 morale, 2 product enhancers (i.e. Eastern overseer), 3 speed.

     

    Honestly depending on your interests numbers could really change between speed and product enhancers.

    You will most likely end up needing more than that of the "basic" stats seeing how many missiones require 2 of them or all and have high values.

    Speed doesnt seem an issues atm since you can manage to send all voyages in under 14 hours with 2 ships
