Private and public Convoys<br />
If you have a suitable ship, you can choose to form a ‘private’ or a ‘public’ convoy. If it’s a<br />
private convoy, it doesn’t concern anyone but yourself. Treat it like any of your single ships: Just<br />
load it with the goods you need and specify a destination port…<br />
If it’s a public convoy, a notice is put up at the guild. Once you specify a destination port, the<br />
other players have five days’ time to decide whether they would like to participate. A security<br />
message will appear, asking you whether you would like to sail in five days – confirm and wait<br />
for other ships to join you. Note: After the destination port has been confirmed, it can no longer<br />
be changed.<br />
As soon as your public convoy reaches the destination, the other members will leave the<br />
convoy and do their own business as usual. As a reward for the safe voyage, you will receive a<br />
payment. The sum depends on the value of the goods that were transported and the distance<br />
traveled.<br />
Disbanding a Convoy<br />
A convoy will disband automatically when it reaches its destination (see above) or when the<br />
orlogship sinks, but you can split it up manually by clicking on the appropriate icon in the icon<br />
bar. If other people’s ships are part of the convoy, you should be careful: Such incidents will get<br />
around quickly, and the other traders as well as the Hanseatic League will lose respect for you.<br />
Joining a Convoy<br />
You can join a public convoy that is currently in the same port as your own ship at any time. Just<br />
select your ship and then click on the convoy button in the ship menu. You can then choose the<br />
convoy you would like to join.<br />
Removing a Ship from a Convoy<br />
If you have changed your mind or need your ship elsewhere, you can remove your ship from a<br />
convoy whenever you like, even during the voyage. Select your ship and then choose ‘Disband<br />
Convoy’ (‘Destroy Convoy’?!!?) from the icon bar. Another way is to simply send your ship to a<br />
different location by right clicking. This has no impact on your reputation, unless you are the<br />
owner of the orlogship.<br />
