Fleet ships: Allow cannons in cargo hold or in positions.

[Rebel Witch]

I am a big fan of the games fleet mechanic because of the flexibility it provides players in their game play. 

 

One of the issues i face with it however is that i want to alternate which of my ships i have in my fleets often. That can be a time consuming and costly effort. The cost is not a big deal however the time to remove cannons, sell them when i add the ship to fleet, then have to buy new cannons when i remove it from fleet back to active duty. 

 

I would like to suggest allowing players to move a ships cannons to the ships cargo hold allowing the cannons to be stored there when you place it in your fleet reserve. Or better yet, let us just keep the cannons armed on the ship as we see fit. That gives players the ability to fit out their fleet ships as they wish (long cannons, or carronades etc). This also saves the player the time and effort of having to buy and sell cannons each time they switch a ship out from fleet.

 

This is just a suggestion, i have no idea how hard this would be to implement but i would hope many players are in favor of this as it saves them time and gives them more options with fleets. 

 

What are your thoughts?

Both cannons and upgrades should be allowed to remain in place but made useless when adding a ship to fleet.

How about access to the cargo hold of fleet ships? Then a fleet-trader can be used as a goods shipper and you control your attack ship.

Devs have said that is in the plans for the future.
