A lot of people are very negative about the Action Points and how it limits your ability to ship where you want, when you want. If you are looking to ship within your colonies then understand that you can buy goods from your own markets. This means that with proper manipulation of your markets, including Buy/Sell and Pricing, that you can price goods such that no one else will respond and you can use your other colonies action points to get the job done.
For example. If I want to ship from Luckopolis to Lucktown but Luckopolis is out of Action Points, I can place that good in my market at a price that no one would pay for (say lumber at 99). Switching over to Lucktown, I can find that offer and accept it. The money never comes out of your account and your ships automatically follow through.
Since I figured that out, Action points don't seem to be as big of a limitation, just more like a hassle.

OK, I don't get something.. If I am trying to buy 200 of something at 15 each - that should be a total of 3000 right? Why does it give me a total cost of like 19800?

Well corruption should be increasing soon. Be sure to get your GR's upgraded to the amount of colonies have. I've been ready to colonize again for two weeks, but been trying to get all my GR's up to par so I have 0 corruption on my other colonies.

Yea, it's tough though. I have a level 4 palace, 3 level 3 Govenors Mansions and one that I am working on upgrading now to level 3. Upgrading all of those GM's to a level 4 will be an absolute bear.

Don't worry about me coming after you. I checked to see how long it would take for a blockade to take effect from my island. 2 days 23 hours and 21 minutes, you would have a boat outside your docks. lol!
