Docking and Moving

Postby Bran-Muffin » Tue Jul 27, 2004 12:40 am

Ok, so if your really close to a moving ship can you dock with it? Im currently trying to dock a boat with another one that is moving, my boat is moving his boat is moving... but im pert far from it, if i am closer can i dock without it being stopped... cause if not this is gonna suck :)

Hope you all understood that, im on a no sleep thing again and i tend to babble when i do that.

Ok I think he meant.

"Ok, if your close to a moving ship can you dock with it? I am currently trying to dock with a boat that is moving, my boat is moving and so is his... The thing is I am a "pert" far from it, so if I am closer will i be able to dock with it, without stopping the other boat... Because if not it will suck."

I think that is what he meant.

Because that would be "boarding".

As Thomas staded, it's not possible, but I'd really like to see it implemented. Boats rarely lie dead in the water. :S

*remembers the "pirates and boarding thread" from a few months ago*.

Yeah...it kind of sucks that you can't.
I would like to hear a reason for why not...

Another thing I would like to see changed is the way the ships keep moving while docked with other ships...they should come to a halt when docked.

The grappling hook, as suggested in one of the old threads (I think) would be a perfect requirement for certain small, fast ships to be able to dock on larger moving ships.

*Keeps an eye on this thread and wonders when it will be splitted and moved to suggestions*

Oh, well. Summertime. :roll:
