Hello! I’m proud to present the first episode of PirateCraft news 😛 @GodsDead you inspired me to do this when you commented once that someone should do a daily vlog of the happenings on PirateCraft. I took that comment to inspire me to do something that you probably didn’t mean to inspire but oh well! >:D
I hope you guys laughed at this and enjoyed it! Please give me feedback below so I can know if you guys enjoyed it and if I should make mroe episodes like it! Thanks!

Today, I was with @bislo1 and @michal_tyrlik at a nicely built galleon. The server had a major lag spike while we were sailing it and after the lag disappeared, the ship randomly began to sink even though no damage was done to it at all…
This is also extremely weird not only because the ship randomly sunk when no damage was done to it. But it was also weird because it did not sink properly like other ships… Parts of the ship sunk to the ocean floor while other parts sank 3 blocks and then stayed floating in mid air.
I have no clue what happened but @michal_tyrlik said that he had seen this occur before with a movecraft airship. Apparently, blocks like wood, wool, and clay have trouble maintaining their sub-IDS when moving on movecraft ships (so different colored wool blocks would change colors at some points while moving). This change in blocks would result in the ship thinking that its missing a lot of required blocks then causing it to sink.

@GodsDead is this truly a problem? I’m not sure what other explanations there are for the ship randomly sinking when it was moving just fine earlier and no damage had been done to it. If this is the problem, it would make sense since the ship had a colored clay ring that only sank a few blocks before stopping in mid air.
Also, why aren’t people in other ranks allowed to make “Cruise: OFF” signs anymore? Was this a problem because of that Movecraft change where perms were all set under one group?

Well I was thinking the other day about new ships and I came up with about 2 new types.

1. Dreadnaught

This would have to be powered by a couple of furnaces I think one for each size and all need to be burning at the same time.

It would also need to have 2 ‘paddles’ on the side with 4 ‘sticky outy bits’ which would be like some stairs which the minimum size would be 2 stairs long.

If one was bigger than the other every couple of blocks it might move a little bit so if it kept going at cruise it would end up going in a circle

sizes

__________________________________

minimum size

maximum of blocks: 250-500

To work needs minimum of 2 stair long paddles on either side of the ship.

and 1 Furnace

______________________________________

medium size

maximum of blocks: 500-750

To work needs minimum of 4 stair long paddles on either side of the ship.

2 furnaces

_____________________________________

maximum size

maximum of blocks: 750-1000

To work needs paddles 6 stairs long at the minimum

powered by 3 furnaces

___________________________________________

The Dreadnaughts would also have to be over 25%  Iron on the ship to work and this would have a health rate of two blasts from a cobble stone cannon ball and if the paddles where hit the boat could start going around in circles or might rotate or just stop.

These ships would bring in a new age to Pirate Craft.. The Industrial age!!

Their pros

+ Iron acts like armour and has life

+ The boat would cruise

+ Paddle Boat tourist attractions revenue would go through the roof

Their cons

– If lots of water got in it’s Iron body would act like stone and it would sink quicker than normal.

– Its costly

– If stolen you would get sad

So that’s my Dreadnaught Idea I didn’t really know what speeds but another con could be the fact it’s Iron it goes slower or that could be ‘neutralised’ out because another could be it’s steam powered so it goes faster or something.

I know it is a bit far ahead in time, but because it’s quite costly I think there being no kit for it to be made would make it good so someone has to make it from scratch and that Captain rank or Commander can only build it.

2. Midget Submarine.

This came as a brain child of me wanting quite small submarines.

They would be powered by Furnace and be made up 50% Iron.

Can Cruise (don’t know who many blocks they could skip).

But also they could be used as suicide submarines so they could even be used as torpedoes but I have a con for that.

_______________________________________

stats

Block limitations: 60-200 (50% Iron)

Speed: Maybe round about 3.0 or 5.5

Blocks used: 50% Iron (blocks the coder can choose i.e. GodsDead)

Rank: Boatswain Or Gunner or maybe a new rank like Submariner!?

Pros

+ Small and Stealthy

+ Can travel underwater

+ Can cruise

+ Could be packed with explosives and blow up

Cons

– You can only go so far away from it was built i.e. it can only go in about a 500-1000 radius from when it was built.

– Claustrophobic

– Gets lonely down their…

– You might run out of air… eventually

– Has to have someone driving it or in it

___________________________________

So yes the con is you can’t go very far that means if it was attached to a submarine/ship the midget submarine would be activated from where that ship leaves and moves from so it would count as a ship in it’s own right and if was attached to a ship/sub someone would have to be in it the entire time for it to move and if not it wouldn’t move.

So there you have it a midget submarine and a Dreadnaught as well if the midget submarine is accepted an idea for a new rank maybe

Thank you for reading and taking your time on my ideas, I will be happy to answer any questions or tweak anything if a mod or owner likes the ideas I have listed thanks again.
