Im using VCRE 2.06 and Dark Ages, but i think its not too different in VCRE:
Asking portmaster to go to another port doesnt cost much, and it takes me very fast (time compression). I can easily run a trade route in North Sea among ~6 ports very profitably.
I bought a ship (skeid, 20 speed) to try. Because it doesnt use time compression like traveling via portmaster, a lot of real world time passes during port to port travel compared to just using portmaster.
So it feels considerably inefficient (at least in real world time) to use a ship of your own.
Is there any actual benefit to buying a ship? Maybe real world time passage is slower with your own ship, but the ship is faster and in-game time passes more slowly compared to portmaster travel?
