I find the robberies from the office feature, silly unrealistic and very annoying. How can you build up enough money for a big ship without have a lot of money in the office.

Also I just lost the pride of my fleet, it just sank despite being 100% maintained. I think an insurance option would be useful.

That said, I do like the game, please keep expanding it.

All you need to avoid robbery is to visit your office once in a while. I visit at least once a month, and have never had a robbery yet Cool

That said, I would like to have an insurance for my ships. But that would also have to reflect what shape youe ship is in. But this is not the place to discuss it. There is a thread for suggestions.

There has been some discussion about this robbery thing before: if interested check "interaction between players" by Ingemar (middle of page). Cool
And yes, it is still true that robbery id not the reason most likely to loose money when you don't care for your administrative affairs properly. I'd guess changes are on RDKs list, but with a low priority (and he's right with that).

The robbery has some realistic background, as if you dont care for your office, in real life you soon get a problem. Its not the cash money of course, but also bank accoutns can be robbed with a office not visited and data all around. So this robbery stand for some behvior which you shoudl develop in real life also, that is control control control ...

Hi! I think there is a bug in the robbery text messages. As far as I remember something like "remainng cash" is stated, but the figure issued there is cash before the theft. Maybe you look at that, too.
