Pametrada Players 709 posts 5,022 battles Report post #1 Posted March 16, 2018 Dear WG, Twice in recent days, I've received 4 extra captain spaces in what were supposed to be containers of consumables. I now have a grand total of 44 captain spaces, 41 of which are vacant, and most likely will remain so. Could you please stop handing these out in containers? With 41 spare places, they are superfluous to me, and I would have much preferred the consumables. There must be a better way of doing this - maybe silver for captain's spaces, or something like that. Regards. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] B4zza Players 160 posts 20,580 battles Report post #3 Posted March 16, 2018 Only a 157 spare here out of a total of 176 slots. It is annoying getting 4 extra slots in reserve from containers, I just hope they have a limit on the number you can have. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #6 Posted March 16, 2018 Also have a lot of spares - received some out of containers. I remember the times I had my barrack ship full on purpose so any addition in captains via missions n stuff would automatically come with a free slot. Even more so WG still hasnt figured out a way to let me dismiss the countless duplicate anime captains. I dont have the good one like 15 or 10 pts - but I have a ton of 0-3 pts one ....... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The type of container you choose only grants you one (the first) guaranteed item of this sort. Spare captain slots can appear in every container, no matter if you choose signals, consumables or credits. Not sure about TYL, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I'm aware they can appear - they have appeared twice in the last few days, as per my opening post. The crux of the matter is that they are not required by most people ( see all who have answered above ) and they take the place in the container of consumables that actually are useful ( and that actually are consumables, which captains slots are not ).

[LOTS_] vaaltra Players 25 posts 10,626 battles Report post #19 Posted March 17, 2018 They could add the captain slots (amongst other things) to the inventory with the option to sell them for silver , but they don't seem willing to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I thought 5 ramming flags already was "striking gold". I wonder if there is a "improved variant" in TYL - you know not supercontainer-like but TYL sometimes has 2 rarer camos which you cant buy for creds -> 10-20 slots? 2 hours ago, vaaltra said: They could add the captain slots (amongst other things) to the inventory with the option to sell them for silver ,, but they don't seem willing to do it Yeah but those other things you can sell are worth jack ....... I think people with 200 reserve slots _might_ end up being able to afford ~150 consumables ....... _if_ those consumables are on discount. 17 hours ago, IanH755 said: But you still can't get rid of the ships, if you wanted to, you still have to hide them instead which, while it may be no issue for some, seriously annoys me and my OCD-ism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
