Cargo Hold

With all the talk about buildings on boats there's one thing I don't think anyone has meantioned, a cargo hold. Just a small lockable room (2500g wood) that can be added to any boat other then dugouts, row boats, and other vehicles of their nature. Maybe different sized cargo holds for the larger ships.

Yes, I like very much. Perhaps of different sizes?
One that can be like 2500g, one that can be like 5000g?

or how about we have it as an upgrade to boat's kind of like roads are meaning they appear on the location page or somewhere for all boat's and they are the right size for the boat?maybe have a bike lock on them or something like that and act like a container ?

It shouldn't be a container type thing, if a char can't fit into it then the whole idea is pointless. We can build containers on boats already.

depending on the size of the boat but would depend on the size of the hold of course a huge boat would have a larger hold then a small boat and make them lockable.if you mean a seperate room on a boat well most boat's you can sail single handed don't have much room on em anyway

Think more of a cargo hold like for example the slave ships, Huge cargo holds

and other ships of past times where you had shipments of gold,fur, food stuff. Cargo holds like that not like a storage container... of course it would be for the large ships for smaller ships like a long boat you could be able to have some sort of chest where you can store up to your max inventory weight of things.

I agree. One of my characters keeps basically everything he owns on his raker, but he's always worried one of his passengers will take something.

Yeah I think this sounds like a very good idea, and west has a good point.

Before we get way off topic on the matter of belief, truth and honesty...as some of are more prone to than others *coughs*
A cargo hold if built, I am hoping it can be locked as well, then, it'd be awesome. Or can you walk into a cargo hold?

even the majority of slave ship's carried cargo and the slaves got carried in a floor between the upper deck and the top of the cargo hold and was about 4 foot tall so they had to crouch in them.that way when they did let them out on deck they'd be all cramped up and less likely to attack. and cargo holds on merchent ship's usually got sealed and nobody entered them till they reach their destination. if you want a cargo hold to hold cargo it can easily be just like a big container. if you want a cabin that's a different thing entirely.

Ah, a cabin is another good idea. A cabin on a ship would be on the deck, and the cargo hold under. Unless referring to very large ships with multiple levels, but I don't think any of the boats in Cantr right now are large enough to have more then one level under the main deck.
