I would also much rather pick and choose who uses it, vs it applying to my whole barnTammy Stawicki wrote: ↑4 years ago Am I missing something or is first class shipping only an all or one. In other words once I enable it and everyone ships that way until it is disabled, but I can't pick and choose specific horses or specific ships to work that way (short of manually enabling/disabling each time)

Re: Y55 Update Thread
Considering I paid 2.1 million in shipping fees last season, I definitely need to pick and choose.

Re: Y55 Update Thread
Remember that this is one of the ways to pull money out of the game, so it seems to make sense as an all or nothing approach. I try like crazy to find races for my horses within 500 miles if I can and within 1,000 miles if I can't find anything closer. I hate shipping farther, but to know I can now do that and pick any race I want, knowing my horse won't get tired from a long ship...it's worth it. Wanna race in Europe and then two weeks later race in the US and then two weeks later race in Japan? You can do it without worrying about how rested your horse is after a very long ship.

Re: Y55 Update Thread
I disagree with the all or nothing approach. I think if one wants to pick and choose which mares get first-class shipment, one should be able to do this -- for a Game Points fee. This fee could be like the fee for Custom Barns.Steve Leavitt wrote: ↑4 years ago Remember that this is one of the ways to pull money out of the game, so it seems to make sense as an all or nothing approach.

Re: Y55 Update Thread
So..... You all can enable it, ship the horses you want to ship, then disable it.
A bit of a pain in the butt. But still, I appreciate the option.

If First Class shipping is enabled, this will not interfere with them being 'Auto Shipped' as well

No the first class shipping post said it is fully compliant with auto shipping and will adjust for the longer ship time.Gwayne Mike wrote: ↑4 years ago If First Class shipping is enabled, this will not interfere with them being 'Auto Shipped' as well

Re: Y55 Update Thread
Autoshipping first class shipping 3 days before the race makes no sense right.. better to stay at the farm and rest and first class ship at last minute?
This gives all horses two days extra rest at the farm. I can run them more often. I guess all very sounds can now run on a steady 1½ week schedule?
I love first class shipping. I can also move my yearlings without interfering with their workout schedule.
I agree that shipping old mares to another continent could be done by normal shipping but, hey, the mares deserve some respect and grooming too,,

"autopilot" option for 10000 gp? Leases the horse to Spencer and spencer does all the shipping and entering for you..
That would be cool.

Re: Y55 Update Thread
I would much rather have Spencer do all my yearling workout scheduling for equipment than entering races. Or give me the ability to schedule the whole year at once for them.Polk Buffalo wrote: ↑4 years ago "autopilot" option for 10000 gp?

Is Spencer going to be keeping track of first class air travel separately?
