the open seas..

Postby flib » Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:25 am

IDEA! heh.. friggin sell boats :P so ppl can explore uncharted water areas. no idea why they havent done this yet.. makes so much sense.. make zones that are only reachable by water, areas that barges and ferries dont go to.. idea has too much potential not to be used! stop the boat hate!

SHIP SHIPS

Travelling by ship will allow you to journey to many locations in the
world that would otherwise be inaccessible.  The creators of TorilMUD
went to great lengths to make the oceans realistic and similar in
layout to the oceans found in the Forgotten Realms.  As a result, the
oceans are incredibly vast, somewhere on the order of 7,000 rooms. 

There are three sections to the TorilMUD ship help file.  SHIPS (the
one you are reading), "SHIP TYPES" and "SHIP COMMANDS."

Type "help ship types" for help with choosing your ship or for more
information.

Type "help ship commands" for help with piloting your ship.

Didn't Eye or Crimson Sigil have a ship eons ago? (Yeah yeah.. going back over a decade.)

Pretty sure they were in, but removed for some reason.

I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

God that would be a fun toy for the RP games...

They used to be in, and from what I understand, you used to be able to kill the crew of a ship, like the Silver Lady, and take it over to sail it wherever you wanted to.

I have killed gloomhaven barge master for the eelmaster's whip this wipe .. I did have to ask permission cause it did stop the barge form moving :)

May be *fixed* now tho

I personally don't like boats or houses for that matter (too Durisy) .. just my humble opinion though.

Pirates of the Caribean is like #1 movie, think of the draw this could bring to the mud. I say make some ships we can sail in the open seas and make some fun stuff to do, and be able to engage other pirates! ARG!

if i am not mistaken pirates of the caribbean is a disney movie :P

ps: johnny depp's gayest part

that being said.. i think it would be fun.. and maybe somebody could write a friggin zone in the seas you could only get to by having your own boat and crew (make boats move fast :P) also rareload pirate ships/crown ships/waterdeep ships/goat ships you can ram/board and kill the people inside for good items keep in mind that you'r lowly group of 15 would jump against a whole ship full of pirates in as small a place as spirit raven (topps)

maintenance + crew wages (unless you make the group man the ship somehow)+ docking fees are a must imo, that will make them kind of a commodity not everyone can afford and therefore much much more valuable and sought out.. same goes for player's houses freaking kingdom code but thats beside this post

seriously picture this.. uber wealthy players having their own ships aint far from fantasy reality heh, i mean everybody could commandeer a captured ship provided you are actually a strong enough group in the first place.. , however overall maintenance (all expenses included) would force them to give it up(read: sinks,,, !selling)

make also randomload small pirate ships that attack the already existing transport only ships in the seas.. small crew not too high level mobs... maybe most !di but all aggressive.. and they board the places where there are crew members. this makes them unavailable for exp if you cant hack it.. ofc make them board slow so you can actually flee a fight if the aggro is coming there... give these pirates a good boost in exp
now this here is just so people can comandeer ships and minor annoyances that might turn into great exp and ownership of a ship heh keep in mind that owning a pirate ship will get your ship cannonblasted and boarded to hell in most ports


phew that got me tired... all the above being said if this code gets back in the mud i tell you know my boat will be named "Stugatz" or "Stugots" whatever ... take this name away from me and you die.. horrible horrible deaths :P
