The largest ship is 5000 blocks I believe, and only pilotable by Captains. Your idea would make no absolute sense, if an 8000 block ship was to be piloted by Quartermasters, while 5000 block ships and only pilotable by captains, which is a donator rank.

I think that a bigger ship (over indiaman size) should only be pilotable by quartermasters because they are actually willing to put in the work and dedication it takes to get that rank instead of just donating to get what you want. (Quartermaster is the only non-donatable rank, therefore showing commitment to the server rather than laziness, so I believe there should be quartermaster-exclusive perks)

Quatermaster is inherited by donators, so it would be under these ranks, Issue is at present is we have donators that can reach Quatermaster but the bloody ranking plugin dev wont add the changes to fix it so donators can rank too. So it would have to be inherited as thats the perk, they get everything unlocked. Im not going to start locking random things as thats the entire point of donating to unlock everything.

I game for a bigger ship, I think if I was to do it, I would just make that the largest ship and move the Indiaman down a notch or two, firstmate could get Indiaman, then quatermaster could get newship type and the donators would get it.

We need new ships!

But remember we can have different types, like ones that need less sails but require say coal to move.

Aye but theres 1 thing about ships. Ik this wont really get added but the idea of adding more sails to get the ship to move faster would be nice. Like the more wool you add the faster itll go. Also ships would get a use if you could transport mobs like animals or villagers on them. As for now you can only tie them up to a fence using a lead which usually breaks and sinks to the ocean floor which happens every few seconds to me. Using boats to move 1 mob by 1 is also one of the ways to do it but it takes some time especially if the village is on the other side of a map

I think the indiaman should be moved to quartermaster if they really want it, and a new ship is made for the captains. Or… there could be an even BETTER donator rank than captain :3.

I thinks that the new ship should replace indiaman as only captain obtainable and everything else gets knocked down, in fact I came up with an idea for it; New ship type: Dreadnaught, size: 5,000 – 10,000 blocks
