As a merchant, I generally just avoid everything. Unfortunately, I find that I have to resume movement after every encounter, which means that crossing any section of ocean takes far longer than it has to. Would you consjder an option to simply auto-resume sailing if applicable after an encounter (like ST)?

If you put this one in, again like in CK I want a way to turn it off ...

Or even reducing the number of ships you encounter. It seems like once you get past level 5 or 7, you encounter a ship less than every 6 spaces... Just a simple trade route becomes a gauntlet of possible enemy ships, or a quagmire of friendly ships that must be saluted or avoided altogether. I understand there must be some traffic on the high seas, but sometimes it seems unrealistically excessive.

I understand there must be some traffic on the high seas, but sometimes it seems unrealistically excessive. That seems to be the case for AoP, lots more encounter than ST. Its a major gauntlet to get from point A to point B. It looks like at some point every time you leave port there will be an encounter/ Auto resume will be nice, that feature is in ST by default. Put a checkbox in the option screen so some of us can turn it off. |

If you want to avoid meeting other ships, raise your Navagating skill a whole lot.

We are still working toward bringing the Cyber Knights encounter system into AoP. That would have an interesting impact on all this.

Next up, the CK job system. Can I go plant a phracking device in the Naval Shipyard? _Please_!  Seriously, having ships encounter each other like the CK encounter system would be so cool. |

grävling - as well as all the other types of encounters that define the life at sea (bad weather, ship damage, drunk crew, fight between the officers, kraken sighting at a distance ...)

I agree, many of the ST options would help the flow of this game immensely. I think auto-resume is one of the things I miss most. Repetitive thumb-strain here i come.  |

Often in AoP I feel like a captain (or Kapitän) of a late war German U-boat. It looks like I run into something the moment I get out of a port. Then constantly harass by all kinds of surface contact. You fight some, salute couple of them, and just avoid for the rest.

I know it hasn't been too too long since this thread was started, but I've found that I do see an 'auto-resume' function on AoP. Course, it took me a while to figure it out and I was about to wish the same thing because I was resetting my course manually every time I met/avoided a ship.
After an encounter, when I get back to the map with the ship on the water, I just hit the right-arrow at the bottom left, and my ship continues on in the direction/course I had already plotted. It definitely saves time. So whomever put that in there, thank you |

salamano - that button has been there from the beginning! Glad you are finding it useful! Your destination waypoint is not interrupted by an encounter, so that button does the trick.

I don't really care that much it is very annoying when I am running a trade route but I play as a pirate so I usually don't raise my navigation a whole lot
