Thank you Eric, this is interesting info, tho it's sad to read that you too are dismantling :-(
I never had any loss higher than 10 % before and actually I had a selection of protections depending on fish type and location, and I was using no protection at all for pools of shrimp/clam/oyster and never had damage there either giving the pools were nearly onshore
But I understand this all changed because all the pools and their content have been reshuffled and we are required to go catch shrimps where icebergs can hit the boats LOL
I am demolishing the first vessel as I type, having 6 pools of herring / tuna and no intention to continue spending to catch herring (more than 20,000 in storage already), most of the fleet is idle at the docks, so I figured I might as well get rid of at least some of the boats
I wish I had known it earlier, I did spend time and gold to build my fleet to find out that it is a huge investment that won't see the profits any time soon if ever, and it was totally unneeded
thank you CraftyCritters : ),,, I will remember this,, thank you : )
Please GGS, rethink this, and allow us to sell directly, as for other produce, just lower the selling price, as I do agree that the original selling prices were making it easy.
This can be done and you can start making some money just as I have. It's a bit slow due to the fact that we are only getting swordfish, salmon, cod and lobster pools once every few days, but it can be done.
NOTE: I have been making money, not nearly as much as before, but it shows not all is lost.
Stage 3 Fish market:
NOTE: On my last set of contracts I filled 2 with 1 order in them, that gave me a total of 21 on my list. When I refreshed the market I had 6 slots and as you can see the 1 order contracts all have a value of 2 already, due to that extra contract I filled.
At value 20 I was offered:
Rose seeds
To be continued on my website only...

Sometimes if I got more Shrimp/Oyster/Clams pool, I using 2 lvl 6 motorboat and 3 lvl Runabout using Small Cooler on both boats (I know the risk, but it still giving profit than using default equipment) and some fish gear.
Besides that, I also using Oleg and Mermaid Bay access to earn more profit (or trade-off for DSF loss due to non-dollar contract or using this strategy)
Currently, I got 1 item variant contract with bonus value of 10. Pay attention as the bonus value increases, the contract difficulty also increases
I'm sure that Monica Moneybag is very happy with the "re-balance". The Dockyard made her job obsolete.
sure I will get there at some point...
I came into the game at or about the same time Deep Sea Fishing went active. I did't know better. Thought it was part of the game. It was my big source of income. There was never a shortage of money as long as you had boats in the water.
If anybody said anything about (Organic) contracts I would state "I don't do contracts". It seemed and was) a waste of my time for as little as they paid out. Besides, I had boats :-)
Yep, you got it. Now that that instant income is gone I am learning about Contracts. It DOES add to the challenge of the game. You should NOT be able to upgrade ANYTHING you want without putting forth the smallest of effort. However, they do need to lighten up on the fishing travel times, amount of fish available per pool, types of fish, and make the rewards a tad or two better. It should NOT be next to impossible to fill these contracts. They want Swordfish and Cod but you have NOT seen a pool of them in THREE days? Give me a break.
Now, for all of you that were here BEFORE Deep Sea Fishing. SHAME ON YOU! You knew better. You knew how it was before. No, ya only CRIED about it when your little cash cow was taken back.
@CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)
What are you suggesting, that we develop the fish market and live happily ever after ?
You didn't share with us how many herrings and shrimps you have in your inventory, and what you plan on doing with the tens of thousands, soon to become hundreds thousands excess of them. Please go ahead and tell us
I was thinking we could propose to GGS that we give the herrings to Santa so that Santa gives us a deco, LOL another deco........how is that for an idea ......
We could even have a forum contest for the best fish market deco, I could propose something like a shining golden giant smiling swordfish
Now you guys don't just rush out stealing my idea.... LOL
To answer a questions she had before, no I'm not enjoying the DSF anymore. I am just trying to help others make the best out of what we have. When I first started playing this game it used to be so much fun, but now it's so much work. We all jumped in and leveled this Dockyard and all our boats not knowing they would be so worthless later on. Now most of us have a leveled Dockyard and very expensive boats. It makes no since to me to let that all go to waste.
To answer @PCA (GB1) post. I wasn't suggesting anything. We are stuck with a Dockyard and a fishing fleet now that has no purpose except for the Fish market. I never said it was gonna happen overnight and I never said it was gonna be easy. That is what I do, I study new events and I work out the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to get things done then I share that with others.
Have to say that my desire to play this game has reached an all time low and about ready to throw in the towel -if it weren't for a fantastic group of players in our co-op I would be saying adios GGS! For now just gonna enjoy our little co-op and the atmosphere WE create that GGS can't mess with - well until they decide to eliminate the chat and messaging - which they will probably get around to at some point!
