Dismantling ships!

[LOA--Paul]

I think you should be able to destroy a ship with axes/pickaxes. Actually this thread will go into a lot of my ideas for boarding ships.


A PLANK on ships would be excelent, and no more boarding the ships by using the "ramming bug" technique. This would allow for MUCH more Rping on the high seas. A ship that is at about 5% less health than another shouldn't be able to board a healthier ship (obviously so that if a good ship captain is beating a ship with a level 20 guy, the level 20 guy cant just jump on the captains and kill him)

Pushing people overboard should be some sort of option to, or some way to get people off of ships. Maybe if they can get a person to the front of the boat anyone can be pushed off in the front. There would need ot be some way to prevent abuse though. When pushed off, it could be like when your ships is blown up. It would place people at their last save point and say "You were thrown overboard!"

Dismantling ships, as stated above, could be a cool RPing aspect. Smashin and chopping away with axes and pickaxes at their ship. Perhaps the mast could be chopped down like a tree? A good safeguard would be that ships only at 50% and lower could be dismantled. For each ship dismantled, depending on percent, you could get like 5-15 boards.

These are just some ideas I had, these would make RPing on the seas so much better, even if just the plank alone is made!
