For the last several weeks, I've been hiding in my wizard tower working on
something truly wonderful. Ages ago, I promised the start of an overhaul to the
Merchant Navy (Sailor Guild subguild) reputation system, and I've managed to
come up with something quite wonderful. I present to you the new shop command
"manifest":

+ Manifest is available at all player cities (well most for this boot, but all
after boot).
+ Manifest is also available to major cities with ports: Arelium, Lorenchia,
Rilynt'tar, and Shadowkeep.
+ Manifest is generally limited to Armour, Weapon, and General shops.

What is manifest you may ask? It's a very nice way to sell off your cash runs
at a store, or engage in cross-continental trade. When you go to the shop, the
eligible shops will have the command 'manifest' enabled:

manifest [shipname] [cargo1,cargo2,...]

Note that the shipname is optional for captains (defaulting to your 'chosen'
ship), and cargo is always optional. The command 'manifest' will inventory your
whole ship and provide a shipping manifest for approval. The cargo
specifications allow you to choose which holds you want to sell
(back-to-front). Additionally, the manifest will separate and total the sales
by cargo hold, in case you and your party are splitting up the loot.

Non-captains of the ship must be granted access to sell things via manifest
through the ship authorizations on-board.

While selling via manifest currently does not provide any reputation bonus, I
encourage you to use it as normal. I will be studying how much and to what
extent people use it to determine a approach to its reputation rewards in the
near future.

Lastly, the whole shop code in general was given a bit of an overhaul,
specifically handling rigs, kept items, and item values. Let me know if you
find any issues.

Have a wonderful weekend,
