Oriental boats are cheaper and better than Occidental counterparts. They're harder to make (shipyards require mosiacs, the orient glass equivalent). Switch to an all orient fleet when you can to keep costs low. Small = 3 cargo, 2 item slots and only cost 10 upkeep. In later games (where you are having to deal with nobleman) having a 'production' island separate from your population island is an absolute must, both for construction space and management reasons. With everything separate, it prevents storehouses from filling up and production to stop, since all your routes end with the NPC, any overspill gets sold directly for profit. Once you're stabilized and ready to expand to new islands (this should be when you are looking at the orient) you should create a trade route called resupply which pulls tools, wood, stone from your construction island and dumps them at every island you own. You might want to have stop 4 or 5 to go back to your construction island for more goods. It takes a bit but eventually you'll have wood/tools/stone at all your islands which is perfect for when you want to start up bread/beer/whatever, you don't have to send a ship.
