Merchant Boats

[Kaiser2]

I was just talking to Neko about this, and he says that he thought of an idea, which I agree about entirely:
Kingdoms should have special trade-vessels, they can't be produced by ship making places, but instead, all kingdoms are provided with like...5 or so. They have no weapons, and can't be destroyed. Trusted kingdom members would have access to these vessels (I'd say the Trade-people). They would be allowed to store items on the ships, maybe have market stands there, and the players could travel from island to island selling things. It would definetly give a greater RP atmosphere to the server. 1 thing though, I fear it will be abused by kingdoms to get their men safely to the enemy island, so instead the kingdoms should choose whether market vessels would be able to dock at their island (I'm not sure if that can even be scripted though). Also, since I know ships often get lost and can't be reclaimed, maybe kings should have some ability to summon the ship back to the shipyard, like, by saying "Return Trading Vessel 1" or something like that...
