Thank you Slamz; you are pointing to a very valid fact.
As I mentioned this game is terribly lacking a tutorial and/or extensive training. If we had such training players like myself could be in the know about the mentioned scenario.
Ink's explanation is true but not enough and he is missing the most of what should've been done (and a little misleading as I did the exact same thing as Ink instructed without knowing I have to wait for my other ships to disappear from the map) and I lost them again just to follow Ink's instructions.
The ships I lost were very valuable to me as it could be to anyone specially in this critical era of the beginning of the new patch.
As I mentioned before, this game is going to be far too frustrating for me and I'm almost done with it.
Looks like developers do not care that much, nor I see a sufficient customer service.
Best Regards
