Hello, First i want to say i like this game a lot. I' m a PVE player, i do not like PVP and that why i'm glad that there is a Peace server. Actually, i'm trading a lot and the new prices of ressources are making me rich. Nevertheless trading is boring, staying 5 hours on your desk looking your ship crossing the map is really boring. The suggestion i have would be to create a new perk that allow trader captains to send a trading fleet. Captain could create a fleet with trading ship and maybe some escort ship. ( size of the fleet could fit with cpt grade) the captain would have to hire 1 NPC captain per ship in the fleet with dooblons, and also hire NPC crews with reals. The captain would also have to put provisions in each ship, with rum and repairs. Then he could send the fleet to a port where he have an outpost, when the fleet reach the port the captain receive a notification in game. This fleet could be attacked by NPC raider, then the captain could see only a part of his fleet coming back or not at all. If the fleet is back then the captain have to repair the ship. This kind of automated trading could make the trade less boring as the captain could do something else while the fleet is on his way. It would allow these captain to craft or make small trade missions for dooblons or even fight and gain XP. When you trade, crossing the entire map give 500XP, that is not a lot and it doesn't give any ship XP. I hope you will like my idea and that you will think about implementing it. Thanks.
