Sometimes cheating can be fun

I know "games are not supposed to be cheated" but everyone play their games like they want, that being said is there any way to add some gold to your save? that would be really great if it's an easy way too not having to download stuff and all

yes, i had to go to a few ports, grab goods, sell at another, did that a few times, best way i know of getting 5-10 k fast, i had to reload, i didn`t want to fight right away, luxury and exotic are best sellers, u get 2 x the price , so i sold 300 pieces for 2.5 k profits that i made, game is to new, cheats not out right now, took me a big 10 min to 1/2 hr to get 10 k, city do change for selling and buying, some are easier shorter route for profit, its a good start with money, as at first u will be fixing a lot of stuff and i was running out of cash, had to do the port to port selling goods

Probably the best way to make money is doing the high level bounties (three-decker+escort) because apart the money from the bounty (8/10k) you can gain another 10k (more or less) capturing all the enemy ships (or at least the bigger) plus some extra selling the looted goods (sometimes less than 1k, sometimes more than 2k... depending on what you find).

Obviously for doing that you need a fleet full of three-deckers with the right upgrades (that make your ships more efficient and less vulnerable, same for the crew when you're doing boarding) so that need some investments in terms of money and time, but when you're ready, gaining money isn't a problem anymore.

In my case, the fleet consist in captured ships only (so, free ships) but I've spent a good amount of money on upgrades and installing cost for every ships, but those upgrades are very useful in the long term (if you prioritize durability/HP, you take less damage/crew losses, so you spend less money in repairing/recruiting. In the same way, using bronze cannons allow your ships to do more damage, so become more effective and that = less time in combat to win, so less chance to take damage.
