Ship cabins!

[Solfius]

maybe he supplied the smart-ass comment for you.

[Cookie]

Well that's kind of him I suppose. Shame he didn't supply the question mark aswell.

[Surly]

One simple way for towns to protect from any pirate with a cabin... keep the harbour locked. *shrugs*

[Marian]

Yeah, I figured that was probably one of the reasons why it was big ships only, ontherwise they're way to powerful.

[Torkess_theCommie]

SENTINEL ISABELLAH! lol... Not very happy at all...

haha, I'm teh charrie who's gone insane

So we have ship cabins ans stuff, but I have a question... why can't they go on sloops? Every boat I've ever seen that is over 30' and is a sloop has had a cabin. And considering that sloops can be as large as 120' (I've been on one), don't you think we should have cabins, if only the small ones, on them? I understand that Cantr sloops probably aren't 120', but even still, wouldn't one expect them to be at least 30', and therefore be capable of having a cabin?

[Sho]

Probably because, as Surly and Marian said, it would be a bit too useful to be able to dock a ship with a cabin (think "floating prison") directly to land.

[MrPenguin589]

Well, that's what crowbars and sabres are for.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

The small cabin only holds two people anyway and little storage... I'd think it could be safely allowable on some of the larger ships that can dock to land...

[The Cantrian]

Ok, another question. Does this now at least allow you to build machines inside the cabins or storage holds that you previously could not build on a boat, or outside any building?
Like a spindle, or oven?
It would be great if you could do that, it would allow you to process much of your gathered materials on the way home, or the next place you plan to visit, in stead of waiting to dock somewhere to use a machine.

[Chris Johnson]

You can build a lot of them ... but not all . I'm unsure of the full list of
ones possible but most of what you can currently build in buildings is OK except for other buildings and the following which are explicitly excluded on vehicles of all types (including in cabins/holds etc)

smelting furnace
work bench
glass oven
anvil
millstone
alumina refiner
small sharpening block
coin press
kiln
coke oven
large rope machine
gas purifier
lathe
anvil
wooden saw carriage with steel blade
extended range radio transmitter
radio receiver
medium radio transmitter
enhanced range radio transmitter
long range radio transmitter

[Phalynx]

No radios.. boo sucks!

[Chris Johnson]

I believe RD are designing a special ship radio transmitter - and vehicle radio receivers are not on that list - but they may be further restricted to specific types of land vehicles - I'm sure there will be a radio option



EDIT:Vehicle radio receivers are currently limited to the following types bus,jeep,limousine,mini-van,passenger car,pickup,small pickup,small sportscar,small tractor,small van,stationcar,tractor,van

[Phalynx]

Good.. then my plan to be the first independent Ship based DJ can still go ahead....

I can be the first broadcast journalist in cantr - I presume a dinghy will house one of these new receivers....

[Solfius]

You'd need a transmitter to transmit too
