So then, we have agreed?
We shall rename the current sloop to something more suitable, and then make a new boat named 'Sloop' with my suggested additions.

Nothing on the sloop should be changed before the Darter is, the boat is a joke at the moment, it has no worth on the vehicle list whatsoever.

Are you kidding me? I love darters! A fast ship with lots of cargo room that can't be docked too? I'm always surprised I don't see more pirates running around in these things...if anything they have too much worth.

Erm? A sloop is a faster ship with more cargo room and takes less to build. I'm not surprised I don't see many pirates in them and you must be having a laugh.

In my experience most pirate ships are stolen, not built. And the darter is a very poor ship for trading or exploration - as Cookie says, the sloop is much better. For any purpose other than fighting, the undockability is more of a disadvantage.

The point with a darter is that you can dock in any town, run amok, and then escape and never have the slightest chance of being captured.

Actually, if you want to go cheap, a dinghy would be the ideal pirate ship, except you'd be forced to go solo if you expected to have room for any of the stuff you steal, and you'd have to be very, very patient in travelling to another town and waiting for any pursuers to give up and go home. (I've robbed a business owner blind and then when I was chased actually abandoned my longboat for an unlocked dinghy in another town. Boring trip, but the char is still alive, and has all their iron.)
