Just because I mount an expendable eco bonus on a ship doesn't mean I want to use it again next time I sail the ship. Please give us back the option to disable auto-supply. 

 

EDIT: Edited topic title to include combat signals

Am I truly the only one who misses this feature? I mean, overall I quite like the new eco system, but I really miss this particular feature we had in the old system.

This is an option, or am i that stupid? There is legitimately a swiping box for that. 

There is, you need to rotate your eyeballs clockwise 90 degrees to see it, he simply preferred making a topic over rotating his eyeballs 90 degrees clockwise.

If you want to be a smartass, then at least make sure you got your facts correct.

There is an option to disable Auto-purchase, which prevents spending doubloons on bonuses whenever you run out.

 

There is NOT an option to disable Auto-supply, which prevents from using up your stock of bonuses.

You can check it out. Mount a bonus, go in a battle, and you will still have the bonus mounted when your ship returns to port, even with Auto-purchase disabled.

@Purnylla hi mate,

It would better to forward this issue to the attention of @Seraphice as he already mentioned in another thread that issues must be repaired/solved as WG overlooked the matter, but we have to notify them (probably too many issues like usual).

 

Gl and enjoy the waves.

Hey! In this case it is intended that bonuses are automatically resupplied (but not automatically purchased)

If this seems to be a common issue we'll have a look into it.

 

Fair seas!

Players should have the option to disable that. 

 

Nope. The REMOVE ALL button stops that re-supply. Everything becomes empty and nothing is restocked. So button not necessary.

@Seraphice till this patch we HAD the option in the exteriour tab to go for auto equip (previous equipped signals and camouflage) or manually equip your pixel ship with signals and camouflage if you wanted to do so or not. Since THIS update it seems that the players are not anymore in control and that is bad to my opinion. Before you know it we are facing automatic micro transactions as WG is controlling our account choices for that matter (by making our gameplay "easier" ) You can deny this conspiracy thinking, but we are dealing with a company looking for optimizing its profits in a so called F2P game. Maybe atm auto equip does not mean auto buy, but coding can (secretly) be adjusted. I am sceptical about this economic reworks by WG as there was from playerbase hardly any/no request for it. WG is more and more tuning on the ingame revenues/rewards for its playerbase (i.e. dubloon compensation replaced by credits) and early acces lines has turned into a joke: more cash grabbing!

Now the players can obtain only ONE (!) ship and ONE worthless permanent camouflage as the economics are removed. For anything else we have to dig deep in our wallets.....

Sorry, but I have lost my affection for this game definitively....

Intended? What for? To make us run through our supply faster so we're more likely to spend real money on buying extra boosts? I mean, why else would you intentionally leave out a feature that was available before the patch?

Agreed. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.

I remember someone's signature on a road cycling forum was

 

"If it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

 

I wonder if that guy works for WG? :cap_hmm:

Just noticed combat signals suffer from the same 'fix', I can no longer find the option to disable auto-supply for combat signals. 

 

I guess that's 'intended' as well @Seraphice ? IMO it's a massive step back, but I guess it benefits WGs finances...

Happened to me on Thursday when I had a Credit bonus equipped on my Hindenburg. Didn`t check after the first battle, it was only after the third round imho when I realized it was still equipped. It wasn`t my intention though to keep that bonus.

Nevertheless no big deal at least at that time, because it was only a 20%-bonus and I had about 1.500 of them in my inventory.

... u spread this over like 200 ships with diferent bonusses equipped gl on finding the one u want when running out of them.... same goes for sigs. if one is used to equip his ships solely for single battles (xcept for cb sessions), this is beyond a step back. it's da hell of annoyance.

The difference from before and now is that now the bonus/signal is not consumed from the stack before you enter battle.
