Ship ownership anwser!

[myth-simba]

i was asked and many others to come up with a ship
ownership plan that allows you to own a ship and yet still keep it not totally protected which would flood the land with unused ships.

here it is...

When a ship touches land it disappears off the map. it means that players would have to look for ships and most could not be bothered to walk the full lengh of the shore to find one when there is a perfectly good ferry there. plus in battle you can ambush people, sail close to shore to keep hidden off map. meaning players in wartime would have to occasionally partol their waters and have scouts to hunt for danger.

Once ship leaves land it becomes visible on map.
So they still stealable but... think of how much land there is. and small islands uncharted on map. i spotted loads of tiny islands not on map. there loads of hideable places for your ships so you could keep and own a ship for at least a few months.

Everyone knows a place where hardly anybody explore.
Also for main island and other islands you can talk to a Npc. there is a harbour at bomboria and other capital port cities such as pirton.

maybe 4/5 docks and you pay plat for amount of time you want your ship tied up. max time you can keep is 1 hour as it makes it fair for players. then if you had no plat just hide your ship somewhere like south of bunny island or somewhere deserted like that. loads of places. i bet you all got a list of places you've ventured and your all alone.

Thats that. Thank you for taking time to read this all.
And good job with the Npc house lights. they pretty nice. ones for player houses be good too.
