Suggestion: travel from new to old and old to new destinations

[City Builder]

It's really starting to bug me that I can send a ship to the new or old world but not choose a destination.

I manually pick up items in the new world and I want to send them to my main island in the old world but my only choices are to transfer the ship to the old world, but not to the specific island.

So now I've got to wait until it arrives in the old world, HOPE that I don't miss the notification that it's arrived in the old world and then find the ship, and move it to the island that I want to drop off the items at.

This seriously needs improvement, it's like you are trying to make us fail with this lacking feature.

There's always the list of ships currently on the map, you know? You can even filter by activity. So all you need is the name of the ship.

Still, I do agree it would be nice to be able tell a ship which of your islands to go to, to save on time and to make sure it doesn't accidentally run into a war zone.

Yes I do know. Thing is that the Anno games have always been about overload of multi-tasking, and 1800 doesn't disappoint in this regard.

So while I'm waiting for my ship to transfer to the old or new world I'm doing 2 dozen other things, so by the time it arrives some 10 minutes later, I've already forgotten about that ship, but if I could choose the destination to start with in the new/old world I would eventually come across it at the docks and remember what it was that I wanted to do (transfer goods etc.).

I'm sorry but which part didn't you understand?

This is something that would be really useful, i.e. to be able to set a default destination for all ships transferring to a region to go to.
