PUBLIC PLAYER HANDBOOK
From First Sign-In to the Persistent Trading World
This wiki explains every player-facing function in Global Fleet & Trade: what to click, which requirement applies, why a step is necessary, what result it creates and how to recognise errors. It contains real vessel, city and goods data without revealing a hidden “best” trade route.
Start with “Your First Day” or choose the area you need from the navigation. Technical terms link to their own articles and detail pages link back to the wider system.
