As you know... people have been Bitching about docking with boats.. and i have to say.. it is a pain. But i have to say.. that raising a longboat onto a galion, it does take a little time... but really.. swinging on a rope to another boat isn't that hard, and dosent take that much time. So, why not a boarding project?
A boarding project would be relative to the distance between ANY TWO BOATS!!! thats right.. YOUR LONGBOAT CAN BOARD A CANOE!!!
Seriously, whats a golden age of seafaring.. WITHOUT THIS??

Again, I hate this idea ...
How about we add a new lockpicking option for any door that is used by Pie's characters. Call it "Kicking down the door" Now anyone can kick down the door to break inside, no need for steel tools!!! People bitching about not being able to steal, pillage and otherwise vent thier 13 year old childish frustrations on the internet will be happy; and the happiness of disgruntled manic depressive pubesent freaks takes precedent over any integretity to the game or community.
Boats have been tweaked with enough recently with docking and locks, perhaps even machinery, although there are a great many machines that have no good reason NOT to be built on a boat.
The biggest thing that has created this "Golden Age" is people being lucky enough to make it back alive. Word is getting out in character about how easy it is to get to the island next door, and magnitudes more boats are being made. It's only going to get more golden as time goes by.

The long and the short of it is that while it is sometimes (often) painful to attempt to read Pies posts, I don't want to ignore them without presenting my point of view on them. I feel I must object to the suggestions that I feel would not be for the good of cantr, so that something isn't assumed to be widely accepted because no one is complaining.
I can't and won't police every idea, it's not my job, and my opinion is not that important, but if I can present some sort of coherent opinion about a suggestion and feel strongly about it, I make an attempt to present it.

MUAHAHAHA!!! bump.
Agar, you fail to miss my point. First of all, Doking takes a VERY long time, so that is a disadvantage to the pirats(the vicets might get away). Secont of all, when you dock, both of the boats locks are still being used, a disadvantage for both the pirats and the traders. Third of all, if you survive the pirat attack, the boat will remain on your boat for a wile, slowing you doun, a disadvantage for traders. Anothe thing is that dingys cant dock to dingys right now, another disadvantage. Another thing about docking is that a gallion cant dock to a longboat, and lets say that that longboat has some treacherous pirats in it that have been terifying the place for many years, well,
a man in his twentys sais"i told you we should have brought the dingy"
But seriously.
Also, The implementation of this has a posability to make canter a more dangerous place on the seas, THUS #1(posible)cousing more government interfearence on the seas, thus caousing more ships to be built, thus causing more of a golden age of seafaring...#2(In this scenario, the most posible) make the seas so dangerous that people will be afrade to go out to sea for a few years, and then some government party will ban with another party and try to stop all of the dangerous activity, and thus creating a better cantr economy, and thus creating MORE of a golden age of seafaring#3(I'd say, imposible) Distroy seafaring foreaver, so that nobody ever goes outside of land, but soon the seafaring echonimy repairs itself, and then people go outside into the seas to trade and explore, but it isn't ever as good as it is today,
Or this implumentation wouldn't do a thing and all it would do is spead up piracy, but it dosent make much of an impact at all, but it does increas piracy a little bit over time untill it is the golden age of piracy.
Witch one do you thing will happen?

Your point is "Let's be pirates!"
You can be pirates now, if it's a tough life, it's a tough life. Being on the recieving end of a pirate attack is pleanty bad enough now, Just ask the people I did it too a few weeks back. I even stole thier sinew!
Anyhow, I don't see any reason at all, much less any reason presented by Pie, to change any way the boats are currently operating or schedualed to operate, what with the buildings and radios (I hope) planned for them.

This has been moved to Rejected Suggestions
The main argument for this suggestion is that docking takes too long,
Actual docking is instantaneous in Cantr. What takes the time is the movement of one boat to the other which is done at normal movement speeds for that boat. If you are close enought then Docking is immediate. If you are a day's sail away then docking will take at least a day.
The other components of the original suggestion (docking/boarding to and from all types of craft and making all boat locks ineffective) woud greatly unbalance the game.

Respect is earned, lad.
I know we've had this discussion before, Pie. This is the internet, and there is no tone of voice or body language. Your only way of persuading and informing is through sheer presentation and grammar. I tend to link poor grammar and spelling to 1 of 2 things. That english is a second language (which is fine, I understand the difficulty in learning our language) or 2, that you're being lazy, silly, or just plain incapable of good writing abilites.
I'm being honest in that I take all of your posts with a grain of salt. I usually expect pointless rants or impossible programming feats. I don't read anything that is larger than normal font or in all capitals. 9 smiley faces does not make your suggestion any more probable.
You make the occasional good post, but don't expect us all to applaud everything you write, Pie. And when a post is dumb, you'll hear about it. It's all part of growing up, mate.

I didn't mention your grammer, although I've sent you a link to a web based spellchecker several times.
I presented my point of view on your suggestion, and expressed my opinion regarding it. Your suggestion was rejected by the people who make the decisions, not me.
If you want to try to start a flame war with me, you won't get a rise out of me, so you'll have to be satisfied with presenting an angry monolog.
This has been rejected, and I don't think there's any further need for this to be open. Lock this thread anytime you like.
Reality was never my strong point.
