In the box in the office, where you can see booked cargo, and which are listed the ships, which have short time left to deliver their cargo, it could not also list in there, the ships which have little oil, back in the tank, so that the owner can see that perhaps he should slow down, some of its ships. Just an idea.
Ps. this is written with google translator, so perhaps it is not translated quite right.  _________________ Poc is a lifestyle  |

I see what you would like to see, but I think this is not the right window to display a shortage of fuel on board your ships.
First, care of enough fuel onboard is one of the many important commandments the captain has to look after before starting the voyage. It just cannot happen that a ship runs out of fuel somewhere during the voyage. This is not comparable to running out of fuel on the highway with your car. At sea, a shortage of bunkers can lead to the loss of ship and cargo and, worst case, the life of the crew.
If one of your ships ever happens to run out of fuel, fire master and chief eng
Second, to ease the work of the gamer, I would support the following:
1 - In the "Charter" Window the order of keys should be altered to
"Check bunkers"
"Load"
"Return"
If bunkers are at 100 % already the focus should jump to the Load key.
2 - In the "Stormy weather" window an additional hint should declare:
"Bunkers onboard sufficient for xyz days at present speed" |

I especially like remark 2. The problem with storms now is that you don't have a view on the bunker status. @RDK, is this possible? _________________ Freight Containers In The Port Of Antwerp |
