Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
If you open up the ship sidebar, there's nothing to explicitly indicate you can buy a ship. It would be nice if e.g. the ships were highlighted if you rolled over them, to hint t hat you can buy one.
Also, when you buy a ship, it is permanent--given that this is a bit hit of cash, and it's easy to accidentally click, it would be best to have a warning "Confirm buying ship?" popup. -

Report history
A message indicating that you can buy ships by clicking would also be nice.
I plan to add a buy button below each ship, as this would also signal to new players that you are allowed to do this. It is quite frequent for players to be unaware of this possibility. I think this will also reduce the risk of misclick.
My ideas:
- If you buy a ship outside of your turn (during goods placement or another player's turn), there will be a confirmation dialog
- If you buy a ship on your turn, the Undo button will appear, even if you haven't performed your main action yet
There are other abilities which also can be undone only if you do them on your turn:
- Placement of ore on boats
- Placement of goods on boards
- Placement of wood/stone in sheds and houses
I think a warning for each of these is excessive, however. If any of these are a major problem, new issues should be opened for their own upvotes.
