Anyway, I was wondering if anybody is making any sensible use of either the warehouses or the dock-side oil tanks in this game.

Hi, I havent done it yet but i was considering setting up a warehouse in a European port. The plan is to ship goods from Africa and elsewhere to the warehouse with a large ship and then distribute to nearby ports (ports that demand the specific good) with a coastal freighter. Should work ok if the small ship does multiple loads in the same time the big ship loads up from distant ports.

Also you can set up Oil stores at relay points between the producer and consumer. For example Jakarta is a tanker port so you could build storage and ship Middle East oil to Jakarta with one ship and then onto Tokyo (or anywhere in Asia/Oceania) with another. This would halve the shipping time.

Does anyone know where to get the manual from or a newer version or similar recent game? (No disrespect to the original)

I'm in the process of creating a couple of excel worksheets, for the goods that can be carried by the ships, and for the principal imports/exports of all the ports in the game. If anybody would like this then all you have to do is e-mail me at no emails allowed ~~arete and get it sent to you. It should be done by tomorrow!

yeah i hate to seem bothersome and sutpid but if you guys could give me a list of controls and sutff i;d much apreciate that, nothing i press seems to do anything so i get stukc on one screen

The game is almost entirely mouse, rather than keyboard, controlled.

Navigation through the game's screens is done via the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Some of the buttons can be safely ignored by a beginneer (eg, the stock market, or the banking screen, both accessed via the mobile phone button on the port screen) Right click in order to return to the previous screen.

When you're in port and looking at the world map, click on a port twice in order to get your ship to sail there. Click on a port once to see that port's principle imports and exports.

Hope I helped. Post again if I missed something you'd like to know.

I've finally got round to finishing the worksheet for the goods that can be carried by ships. If anyone wants it PM me.
