When those poor, unfortunate soles die on their cursed boat in the middle of the ocean, it will sit there for the rest of the existence of cantr... or so you would think!
I see that in the future there will be great expiditions of people going out to sea to find the lost ship and loot her cargo!
Think of all the nice derilects we'd have if everyone else was as gifted as us and took rowboats onto the ocean, and beyond the half way mark of their food!
Truly, it's a pirate's life for me!

Maybe one day, there will just be airplanes flying over, spotting a derelect for the people in the boat, then those people sailing out and looting it...

Yeah, the boat filled with steel, and steel tools. Wouldn't that just be great.
Airplanes? Are they going to be included in the game anytime? Or helicopters, which is strange because we know how to make a helicopter engine, but not hot to make the helicopter
Has anyone built a heli-engine, in a car? Would that work?

Helicopters: maybe someday
heli-engine, in a car: it would make a slow car I think if it is even allowed

<Pirate>AH! Away boarders! Kill the scurvy sea dogs and loot their fetid corpses! AH</Pirate>
An so forth, all jolly good fun!

= Pirate flags, you could have a quick look at another ship with a telescope and you might see a few flags that could be arranged to mean something depending on where you came from they could be gibberish or a threat! So each place could end up with all sorts of signals meaning different things (obviously, but just greater expression really) and so you could end up with an international sailing code or something crazy like that.

Heh, would it not be even better, if you were to be a pirate if there were cannons in the game, you could sink other people boats and steal the loot..

You have to put me down dont you?

lol
We dont have scuba gear but we do have fishing rods, or maybe we could have fishing boats which you could use some sting to make huge nets.

Still I think looting them first and
then sink the ship is a lot easier, isnt that the way pirates have always done it? But if you want to fish for your loot, well, B my guest.
And no, i didnt mean to put you down.

Hmm, that would be more satisfying to fish for the loots, but you could only carry so much if you went down there yourself, there could be sharks and all sorts in the water.. fishing for it would be safer, well that depends if you think your super man or something, and could wrestle a shark and take it down..

Well, I think I could wrestle a shark, not saying I'd win though. Anyway, I wouldnt try it out cuz I'd loot first, then sink the ship.

Well ok, maybe your right.. (Oh how much i will one day regret saying this, lol)
Maybe it would be easier to loot first, it might be easier but i would sink the ship first, because what if whilst you were stealing from there ship and they were stealing from yours? Thats one reason why i would sink it first

Okay.. Have it your way. But then at least capture the survivors and let them wrestle sharks?
K... Back ontopic now?

The topic? Ah yeah i think i remeber.. i think..
Ah, yeah it would be cool to loot other people ships, but if you were to you don't know what you could be getting yourself into. They could be armed to the eyeballs. Unless your not a single pirate you could maybe just sneak in whilst they sleep.
And dont boats have locks?
