Ship Buy Orders

[Slamz]

We should be able to post ship buy orders.

 

e.g.

 

Trincom

Exceptional

Live Oak

Build Strength

Speed

500,000

 

Trincom

Exceptional

Any wood

Any trim

Any bonus

400,000

 

Basically there are drop-down boxes for selecting how you want it made. You can specify or leave it set to "any". Ship sellers can then sell the ship directly to you if they end up with one that matches.

 

(Even better might be a way for a builder to "lock" a buy order to himself for 30 minutes, so he can try to fulfill the order without someone else taking it. But I think that's not really needed. Unless it's a really unusual order, odds are other people want the same thing.)

I like that idea but don´t forget about the upgrade slots.

 

The locking mechanism should cost money though to prevent people from blocking buy orders.

Just to complete the idea: it would also be great if we could restrict the sale of ships to certain players (friends), or groups of players (clan members).  In fact, it would be nice to be able to have that restriction for things other than ships (clan members might want to help one another by crafting resources for one another when they are not at the same port at the same time).
