Can each ship emote/say/whatever the name of the continent when it arrives?
Or have it say when you type map/view:
<Boat Name> is sailing <dir> towards <Continent Name>

maybe add also that you could buy a ticket from ticketman before the ship
arrives and then add feature that you would enter automatically when the ship
of your ticket arrives (this because atm you have to be rather fast to get in
the ship before it leaves, and yet not familiar with shipnames - you can't be
sure what to type)
and if the ship stays longer in the dock - it would delay the trip - which
isn't great

Automatic entry and exit would be fantastic. \"Buy ticket to <whereever>\" then
go get a beer.
Come back to your desk with said beer and you\'re ready to move on.

Nod, I think this would be a better system than what I proposed. This way,
ferry\'s won\'t get tuned so they stay in harbour longer (causing slower ship
arrival and more whining), the ticket will have auto destination, and no more
\"turbo typing\".
