Boats as spawning points

Postby formerly known as hf » Fri Sep 15, 2006 2:56 pm

Boats, and maybe buildings should be possible spawning points.

It should not be possible to spawn on a boat or in a building unless there are at least ten people there (and the building isn't locked to the outside.

Yay for floating towns on galleons! :)
Whoever you vote for.

Trying to hardcode a Waterworld-style orgy? I am torn on this one...

And think at the newspawn. Water as far you can see. Nowhere to go. It´s quite limiting I think.

i second this, if we are to have anyone spawn on a ship it should only be as a child if children are ever implimented, any other way is just plainly askin for trouble.

Especially if the newspawn is angry at having been spawned there...imagine how long it would take to get them to stop changing direction, speed as well as whatever else they come up with to cause trouble.

Imagine the newspawn is afraid of water, could lead to some ugly panic reactions :)

Cantrians need earth and sunlight to spawn - you want us to change the whole reproduction cycle ? ... :lol:

I can see a lot of merit in the idea but as has been pointed out - it's not a great place for a new spawn on a boat , or in a large gaol even with the minimum population limits

It sounds like something to consider when babies/kids are ever introduced but until then it should really move to rejected suggestions
