    Hi i just put  this up because i wanted to post this in the shipupdateforum but as i wrote this i realized how annoying and LONG my arguments sometimes…often….all the time get.
    I will just put this up here and i want opinions why and how this wouldn’t work…and i bet i know at least two of the reasons myself.

    In the shipupdatepost gods mentioned that he was planning to do more ships at the cove to make them easier accessible.
    I don’t think this is a good idea for a number of reasons:
    1.Most ships there don’t have a use besides looking good.None of them has a proper storeroom or cannonbays…besides they lack protection for the crew like small walls or stuff.
    2.The ships at Cove are far to central and therefore most players would first have to ship them all over the map…i think that would be at least annoying to most people.
    3.Beeing sold so extremly cheap they destroy the value for a potential playerrun shipmarket in which shipbuilders could sell their own ships.

    Maybe it would be a better idea to motivate players to build not only their own ships but also sell them and form warfts and bigger harbours for ships….and shipmarkets and all that stuff.
    However due to the permanent fear of pvp and other reasons i don’t think this would work….even though the idea of a little harbortown with a warft is extremly romantic 😉

    So…which reasons did i miss? What is your Feedback?

    Main reason this doesnt work is because most people are afraid to use their ships, I’ve said this in the other post as well and as godsy said, he is fixing it.

    I’ve bought and sold a few ships myself, but nothing too big.. They mainly just sit in my harbour until Java one day gets the opportunity to steal them. Ships are simply not used on the server at the moment, due to them not being of any use or being practical, so with no demand, the supply is not high – which means, not many people makes a business out of building ships because very few people on the server would actually be interested in buying them.

     

    But hopefully the changes godsy is making will change this. I hope 🙂

    Uhm Bislo as you have an important role in the BE.
    What would you think about …maybe not public warfts but faction warfts?
    The BE has a lot of Members and a lot of Towns maybe it could be useful to new members if there were factionwarfts or shipbuilders in at least some of your towns?

    @Stingbarry Moan moan moan – Offered no alternative.

    So you are saying: Remove ships from being spawnable at the cove, thats all I got from this message.

    1. New players sometimes cant/dont understand how to build ships, this is for them not you, you know how to make a ship.
    2. Some people lack the building to build a good looking ship, so we give them an option to buy one thats pre-made and ready to rock
    3. These are very cheap disposable ships, they can be used for >>>>> **** FUN ****<<<<< to fight or crash into things.

    You are too impatient and haven’t waited for the ship update to actually release, you haven’t given us time to complete our ideas, or finish what we planned with spawnable ships, this post is pointless, if you have some legitimate ideas then please post them as a suggestion, this is nothing but shouting without thinking, you  have already posted this in the other thread, so its also considered spam.

    Repeating myself: Look up the no-tp weekend thread, Its even linked in the master threads thread I have linked in every single one of my posts, which explains that we will be having a new world that has no teleporting at all, no map, and will require ships to navigate as the sea will be infested, it will have trade routes etc etc. read the thread, im repeating myself.

    @GodsDead

    I am sorry.
    I didn’t want to sound like whining, that’s why i put this up in a separate post in the general forum.
    I just kinda wanted to brainstorm about shipshops and if there are better alternatives since the only idea i had was this terrible idea of warfts which won’t work for obvious reasons.

    I am awaiting the new update eagerly so please don’t take this as offense to your hard work.

    Im not 100% with spwnable ships either, but I cant think of an alternative, I definitely think we should have spawnable ships as people are too scared to use their own, Its the teleporting which is stopping people using the ships, but I couldn’t disable TP on this world as people are too used to it. Hence the second world for all that jazz.
