To Freeze or not to freeze?

[DR-1 Jasta 11]

I am running the 3rd ship and upgraded to the freezer thinking that the hold fully upgraded hull would carry WAY more than it does. After pulling 2 nets my ship was full and I don't need to freeze the fish at all. But I was wondering, do I get paid more if the fish are frozen and stacked? or is it the same if I don't bother freezing them? Thanks in advance - Captain Arthur

Freezing just lets you keep the fish on board for more than 8 days. tacking must be done to sell it at the docks.

Gutting nets you a higher price, not freezing.

I bought the freezer but never used it.

Yeah, is there a refund? lol - maybe the big ships will actually need it.

Good to know. Thank you for your help. Nice bringing in 400,000+ Krone every load :)

No problem. I misread the details and thought freezing let you keep it for more than 8 hours, so I was all like "oh ♥♥♥♥ I need that", but then I learned it was 8 days. Not that useful on a tub that has a max range of like 15km. lol

It gives the crew something to do, and immerses you into the game alittle bit... but hey whats Immersion right..

True, but I decided not to freeze because it just took too long, I would be back at port before everything it stacked. I had one guy on the machine gutter who worked at like 450/hour and two on the stacking that did like 350/hour so that as soon as the gutter finished about 450 units the two stackers would imediately stack almost all of it. They would all finish within an hour or two long before I got to port, then I just let them rest or do maintenance.

I personally freeze all my catch, makes my crew level higher and pass the 100 mark

you dont have to deliver youre cargo emediatly to the port, you can let the guys work on the fish freeze it and pack it while you speed up time in the dock, then you can deliver it. all done, it will level up the crew and make it all efficient in time

Yeah I did that a couple times when I fished the spot just outside the harbor entrance.

I really don't see the point in freezing on the third ship. There is no reason for me to have to keep any of my catch for over 8 days, storage is only so big and would run out of fuel way before then.
