Sorry, could 't resist 😉. Take your time, don't think you are suppose to upgrade it within a few weeks. Most of your 2-anchor ships will go to dry dock or the museum within less than 50-100 levels, Titanic will grow with the rest of your fleet. She might be expensive and a "real piece of work" 😜 but still usable at level 775 for grocery runs or to get small amounts from the event destinations. Nearly every day I find something to do for her.

@pixel_player376259257 @CynthiaF There really isn't an option but to take your time upgrading Titanic.

If the Coins and Wood required didn't make you wince, then research the XP you gain each upgrade. This will make you sit taller in your chair and tighten your Sphincter muscles.

I currently have enough coins/wood to upgrade to 4th Star and 5th star (6th and 7th are easily accomplished with Chevrons), but the XP gained will propel me 19 levels. Some may see that as a positive, I see it as something that needs to be stage-managed. 19 levels is 3 TownHalls, 60 (ish) building upgrades) plus 6 Main Docks.
Great way to fall behind and as is evident, not easy to catch up from.

It is for these reasons that Titanic is such a trophy. It is almost a game within a game. Some have even said on this forum that your fleet is incomplete without it.
Easy to buy it., yet takes a skill to upgrade it without buggering up the rest of your game, do it too soon then you compromise everything else.

Oh, and if you do manage to pull it all off, as Cynthia alluded to; Not only does it sit proudly in your fleet, it can serve you for a very very long time.

It's the Mayfair in Monopoly, not the best value, but maximum bragging rights !

robertg2 I could really use the experience gain right now but 29m coins is far beyond my capabilities, so it'll just sit there looking pretty until I can deal with it. I do see that the first upgrade will put it as my best ship though. Looking forward to that.

The version of Monopoly I played growing up had that property as 'Boardwalk'. Had to google it to figure out what you were writing about. 😀

Very true, it was especially useful when working with the earlier Queen Marys on the Farm and General Goods destinations , that was before the goods multipliers got nerfed to the exact ship cargo value. I've not used them much since.

Lol now for me the massive amount of experience would mean nothing as I am so far behind as it is. It would just put me farther behind but I would not care as I need more 5 slot ships for microchips right now so I am intentionally leveling up within reason. Level 420 is when the decent 5 slots start coming and level 440 is when you really get them. Once I get the decent 5 slots, I will hold way back on experience to catch up.

CynthiaF

Egg I still do 😉. Use my (single) Queen Mary and the Titanic to get just enough for two batches, since I usually only play 10 maybe 20 (If I am in the mood) Jobs a day, I have a different strategy, therefore those two are great grocery fetcher 😁

robertg2 Upon a new event, they will be reset to x1, take on new names and need to be worked to get back up to "Max" output. My suggestion is that should be a high priority, not the achievements which have little tangible value. If you do work the multipliers max theory, you get the achievements as a byproduct anyway.

As it turned out, this was very good advice and I thank you for that. Getting the new ones maxed early allowed me to send smaller ships for those and save my big ships for the other job board resources that are 1:1, making things a lot more efficient. 🍻
