Boats..

[FireMaker]

Yes, Where can I get cannon balls

and how do you repair a ship

and is there a way to ban anyone from my ship?

and can i customize the inside, like put beds and tables and a kitchen?
And i would also like to have a tagged crew (Sailor's Stallion)

I already have 2 commanders and myself...

Grab a part of it while carrying boards, 1 board is 5%

you can control the ladder that lets people on and off, but you can't ban anyone from it.

You can't customize a ship.

you can't make tags just for your boat...

[FireMaker]

um... anywhere?

Im grabbin and nothing repairin

[Muha_builder]

boat must be at a dock or in a shipyard

[FireMaker]

.. i just logged on the game and my boat is gone...

i logged off on it

and its gone. it was in the dark blue water..

[FireMaker]

yah boat was destroyed, trivial now :P


Ok.

I have recently been apointed Admial of the Nighthawk sea fleet

and i am thinking that we need a lock on our boats... Im tired of thiefs

[Satrek2000]

We'd need improved shipyards for kingdoms, maybe that only members on tag can move ships inside, and only ships built in that kingdom can enter. Someone who isn't a member will get a neutral ship from a kingdom dock when building one. Also, there should be ways to anchor ships or lock them in some way.
The possibility of leaving everywhere is making things much better though, imagine an attack by sea on a fort... wait, shouldn't they be up sind quite a while now?

now im pushing for a boat ownership thing. and only friends of the ship can drive.


so yeah....hopefully it will work, I know staff is doing SOMETHING right now, just dunno what

[Satrek2000]

Don't they always do something?
Anyway, this issue is a tricky one, as I come to think of it... imagine you make yourself 5 boats which only you can drive, then you use them to block something, the swimming way to Hotaru, or a kingdom's shipyard (if they were used). Another example: you own a boat and use it like a house, store your stuff in the hold, then someone comes by and presents your home with 30 cannonballs - everything's gone, what now? I hope you see what I mean...

Boats can be destroyed. The blocking might even be a good tactic for blocking areas in kingdom wars.

It's just as stupid these days to use a boat as a house. IMHO, houses should be destroyable anyways (just not easily). Maybe they could fix up the fortifying system and the spell that destroys fortification. Perhaps due away with it all together?

make it 1 boat per person....

then hmm....

make it so IF your boat is destroyed, your items are put in a chest somewhere where you can pick em up?

Im pulling for ideas bout this one...

or just dont drop rare things on the inside..

when i was captain of the Sailor's Stallion

we just dropped easy to get stuff, food, gold, whatever

the ONLY time we got destroyed, was when all the crew was offline.... so... dunno

maby have a lock feature that makes your boat invincible if there is stuff in the hull, and the gates are up. OOORR

have an allignment thing for boats!!, like in the other servers with people!!

[Satrek2000]

I know that using a boat as a house is just stupid nowadays, but the way I got it that's what part of the mentioned ideas are about.
I know that boats can be destroyed, but so can marking runes but they're still a bugger at sea. Maybe it could be made such that ships with nobody aboard don't block? Just another idea. This way, blocking in times of war would work, but not just to annoy.
To allow everyone just a single boat might work, but what if your baot is stuck somewhere on another island? You won't be able to build a new one... also, similar to owning a house, there's nothing to give a group full access to it, which would make even more sense for a boat than for a house... GK has families and other groups, which could share boats, have wandering pirate groups or whatever, that'd be tricky with this kind of ownership, too.

[FireMaker]

maby have an approach boat feature?

so your teleported to your boat?

That would fix the NH island problem...

but it could also be abused...


maby wait 30 secconds before you can approach? like unstick?

[Heiwaronsha]

New boats are being planned (or under works).

Don't worry about it, the guy in charge knows what he's doing. =)

But I enjoy those long walks around kingdoms in search of someone's gate to turn to dust.
