Why i can't put on sale captured ships?

Hello.

Like in the Topic: "Why i can't put on sale captured ships"? Repaired or not, bigger, smaller just can't.

You can sell them to the NPCs just not players. On the main home screen when you select it you can sell it.

Personally I think you should be able to sell all ships captured or not to players. With one durability you won't get much for it... but it makes no sense why you can't.

You also should be able to add captured ships to your fleet (within reason). Obviously something like a 3rd rate shouldn't be added. Having multiple ships in your fleet should use your base crew numbers. So if you rank at 150 crew you can have 1 ship with 150, three with 50, or any combination.

You can only put ships on sale with 5 durability and captured ships only have 1 durability. So you can only break them down or sell them to npc's for a few thousand gold. Or you can sell them to other players via direct trade I think.

Thank you. So the durability is the case, now i get it. Oh well, more grinding gold then.

It's not so much the durability but the captured vs crafted/bought element. The system (NPC) will take anything. But the player market will only accept those that have been bought or crafted. You can as suggested always sell them to a player at a reduced cost with only one durability. That's not hugely beneficial for the end user... unless they want a number of ships parked in a number of ports (to make traveling easier).

I find the best thing to do is grind those captures out... sell them for gold to the NPC's or break them down and either use the parts or gold to craft. Then you can sell those ships. ;)

OR you can capture the ships and break 'em down. Use the parts for next ships (don't need to invest money, don't need to invest labor hours). Beside that: if you are lucky u'll get a BP and u will be able to craft them yourself! Even then, you can always use the ships for your own. :) Especially the traders(!!!).

Hmm thats fair. Because trading is not for me, so i probably use them if the BP allow me to that, or just sell them.
