VM MODE: Ship Queue

We would like to hear the playerbase opinion before we take any final decisions regarding this issue.

To explain:
As it is now, anyone can go into vacation mode with a ship queue, which will continue building ships while in vacation.

One hand:
It is a strategy, someone can use this to recover.

Other hand:
It is vacation and it should be regarded out-of-game, so no actions should take place during it.

I am sure you can find a lot more arguments. The final decision will depend on what players will post in this thread.

Thank you

I would prefer that if theres a que, its frozen until they get back from V mode.

I am in favor of freezing all activity while the player is in vm, if that is unable to be done then I say no building.

player should either wait till the queue is done or have their queue erased if it is an emergency. all the res spent on the queue would be lost. V mode should not be so casual

I think it should be frozen I think, there are many jobs like mine where you have to move around alot and dont always have internet accessess.

Yes, freezing is good, if this isn't possible, then the ships should be built in v-mode. You can't cancel a ship que, so if you need to go into v-mode while building ships, you are in some trouble (if v-mode is impossible)

I believe ships should be built at 1/8 the normal speed while in vacation... that way people can use it as strategy if they want but it is still like an "off time"...

I'll go with the queue while in VM. I can't ask people to play as much as i do and, as a fleeter, i'll have to do with the few online time they have to catch them, if they use their VM to build a bigger/tastier fleet that's ok with me.
