I Mrdoomed, thanks for the reply.
I agree with you, im not a "lazy person", ive simply no time to play my 2-3 hours at day only for see my ship that travel for transport resources between docks: during that time i want to play: crafting, explore, fighting, trade or other similar think. When i return by work, at the end of my journey, i wont to enjoy and relax.
"The next thing these lazy folk will ask for will be for a notification when its attacked and the option to take command. THIS OPTION WILL NEVER BE ALLOWE"
Yes, is right and i agree with that: when you delegate transport to AI is at your risk.
"Then the ship you send cost a hefty fee to pay the ai captain "
Its right but this cost must be affordable: the real cost that you pay is the risk that your transport don't arrive to destination and that you lose your ship, because you use YOUR ship for delegate ai. A good idea is that you delegate to your officer the transport (a second officer used only for this think for example), another is that you can delegate only one transport at time.
My thinks is that we have to do the possibility to all the player "type" to play this game: if a player want to base his game only for commerce, he will prefer to make the travel by himself or he can decide to make the most risky travel alone and, in the same time, delegate another travel to AI.
