=== Captain's cabin ===
+
== Crew quarters ==
−
Every captain deserves a cabin, and the ones a merchant can build for you will provide a place for a dimensional vault, bookcases, and elixir cabinets.
+
−
==== Bookcase ====
+
−
Bookcases store the maps that are used for the autocruise feature.
+
−
They used to be limited to 32 maps apiece, but this number was raised with the expansion of the realms to 60.
+
−
To get new blank maps, you need to insert (spell) scrolls into the bookcase.
+
−
Available for 57,440-66,920 gold each.
+
−
You can also have one removed for 1,510-1,673 gold.
+
−
==== Dimensional vault ====
+
−
[[Bob Stance, sipping a beer|Bob Stance]] will install one of these special vaults in any ship that is at least Class 3 and has a Captain's cabin.
+
−
They function as normal chests, except only the captain can ever open them.
+
−
At a cost of (100k * number of current slots + 100k), this is a secure but very expensive way to permanently store items onboard a vessel.
+
−
==== Elixir Cabinet ====
+
−
These cabinets store special elixirs which help heal or boost your crew.
+
−
These elixers are going to be fairly important for anyone who gets involved in combat.
+
−
Each cabinet has space for ten elixers, and up to four of these cabinets can be stacked in a Captains Cabin.
+
−
77,850-84,300 gold.
+
−
 
+
−
==== Stash ====
+
−
Every ship has a hidden safe in the captain's cabin which contains a portion of all the fees spent summoning it.
+
−
Ships without cabins still have stashes, they just can't be accessed.
+
−
This means if you don't care about dimensional vaults, bookcases, or elixir cabinets, you can make your ship invulnerable to stash robbery.
+
−
Stash money is stored in highcoins, and if there are large amounts of it, the morale of a Merchant Navy ship is raised.
+
−
Merchant Navy captains can visit their guild room to have additional money deposited directly into their stashes, minus a percentage fee.
+
−
Pirates who disable a ship are able to plunder the stash, which is the only way money can be removed from it.
+
−
The percentage fee removed from stash deposits is transparent for the most part, it exists so that merchants can't use the stash in a level 2 ship as a cheap and 100% effective way to transform all their gold into highcoins with the help of a pirate friend.
+
−
 
+
−
=== Cargo hold ===
+
−
Most other rooms on a ship can't safely hold items. Cargo holds are the only room onboard a ship you can drop items in.
+
−
If you somehow manage to drop something in another, it will tend to fall overboard.
+
−
Each cargo hold is to carry 1000 kg worth of materials or 150 items.
+
−
==== Forges ====
+
−
[[#Frigate|Class 4]] ships can have mobile forges and workbenches placed in their cargo holds, to the limit of one forge per hold.
+
−
They take up 250kg of hold space, but can contain 500kg worth of materials.
+
−
All of the forges can be bought from [[Silverlake]] for 47,850-123,500 gold.
+
−
If you would like to rearrange their placement in your cargo holds, it will cost one tenth of the current forges cost.
+
−
 
+
−
=== Crew quarters ===
+
 
Adding in quarters for crew to live in is required before you can actually hire them.

+
−
==== Helm ====
+
−
On bigger ships the stern part is usually levelled.

+
−
Emerald discs come in ten sizes and must be attached in order from smallest to largest.
+
−
Your maximum scanning radius is equal to the number of discs installed in your helm.

+
−
=== Lounge ===
+
−
Lounges provide a place to rest, and at [[Silverlake]] you can buy healing crystals, fireplaces, and firewood racks assist in your recovery from exertion.

−
==== Fireplace ====
+
−
Lounges can be equipped with fireplaces to speed the recovery of hit points and to a lesser extent endurance points for all those in the room.
+
−
Many wooden items can be dumped in to instantly catch fire.
+
−
The strength and duration of the fire depends on how much wood has been added to it, but even just a handful of torches will last a decent while.
+
−
Fireplaces work best when accompanied by a regenerative crystal. 37-40k.
+
−
==== Firewood Rack ====
+
−
Firewood racks offer a long term storage solution for firewood.
+
−
Place wooden items heavier than 1kg in this to have them converted into saveable fuelwood for a fireplace.
+
−
Just '''stoke''' to add more wood to a fire. 14,805-15,000 gold.

Latest revision as of 23:46, 31 May 2015

For a long time, ships were absent from BatMUD, however they have now returned in a far more useful form than before. They have introduced naval battles and allow sailing from continent to continent while offering recovery, almost unlimited space for loots and very expensive "summon chest/teleport without error" feature.

Overview

Captaining any ship provides you with the ability to build sailor reputation for stat bonuses; this also grants access to a few special areas. Captaining a good ship will tremendously speed up your ability to travel from region to region. Melemkor<analytics uacct="UA-3466433-3" ></analytics> dismisses ideas of ships offering place where to store sailor chests thus allowing you to live in ship like real marines did, but it is anticipated that he come around sooner or later.

Size

Ships are currently available in six size classes. Boats and Sloops are the smallest and relatively useless, but are a good place to learn about how ships work without investing millions of gold. Class three and higher are the expensive luxury vessels, each having certain advantages and disadvantages when compared to the others.

List of ship types in size order:

  1. Boat
  2. Sloop aka Ferry, Lugger, Cutter, Cog, Curraugh, Ketch, Brig
  3. Schooner aka Clipper, Swiftship, Brigantine, Corvette, Knorr, Caravel, Balinger
  4. Frigate aka Merchantman, Whaler, Carrack, Crayer, Buza, Barque, Nef
  5. Warship aka Galleon, Galleass, Man-of-war, Privateer, Indiaman, Viking Longship, Bireme, Dromond
  6. Dreadnought aka War Galleon, Destroyer, Juggernaut, Corsair, Viking Warship, Trireme, Drakkar

Hair<analytics uacct="UA-3466433-3" ></analytics> has some words about classes.

Features

There are a large number of modules and upgrades for ships; after all, a ship without any crew or abilities is little more than a big bucket floating in the water.

There are three places to go when looking to upgrade your ship.

As there is lot magic involved with ships, its required to dry dock her before making any changes.

Crew quarters

Adding in quarters for crew to live in is required before you can actually hire them. Each of the types of crew gets its own style of living area, and each separate quarters allows up to five of that crew type to be hired.

Sailors

Sailing speed is directly affected by how many sailors you have.

Cannonneers

Its critcal to have enough hands to man a cannon unless you want to blow your own ship apart.

Speed magis

Altough the name would suggest that speed mages would affect overall speed of the ship, they actually only afect the ships flight speed. The more you have, the faster she flies.

Lift magis

Flight height is affected by how many mages you got floating her. And the flight height defines the terrain she can pass.

Defence magis

The ones that keep your ship protected from harm.

Assault magis

Best ones to take opponents defence magic down.

Ogre Pistol

Ogre pistols are cannons, which when combined with cannoneer crew and shot form the primary offensive force of most ships. Beware that they are prone do misfiring, which can have unpleasant consequences for your ship and crew. It is suggested that there should be three crew members operating a cannon to make it reasonably safe. They cost in the range of 25-50k gold on any given day at Silver lake.

Brig

A jail on ship.

Cargo

Cargo hold modules can be added to higher class ships. They have vast but not unlimited capacity. Too much and this message results, "There is already too much junk in here, trying to add more would not be wise."

Golems

Ship golems act as guards, their purpose is to toss people overboard via a gangplank. Their ability at blocking an enemy from moving, speed of tossing, and ability to detect intruders are based on their material. Golems will never toss unless a friends list is defined for them and the character in question is not on the friends list, it is even safe to have aura of hate on while in the same room as one. Stone golems are inept and weak, whereas quicksilver golems are durable, toss people nearly instantly and can see invisible. Golems, like normal crew, do essentially no damage in combat, nearly any character can destroy your entire crew given enough time to wear down their hit points. Golems must follow a path of upgrades, beginning at stone, and moving to iron, then steel, then quicksilver. Golems require that you have deposited 100kg of whatever material they will be made of before they can be made. Golems can only be placed in one type of room, either deck, transport chamber, or cargo holds, and which room the golem shop supports varies whenever it's open, which isn't all that often. Stone golems cost from 53k-125k and each upgrade costs another 53k-125k, not counting the cost of material.

Furniture

Aside from the descriptive items you can add into ship rooms for free, Silver lake has a shop that sells furniture that can be added to various ship rooms. The buyer selects the type of item, it's quality, and the materials involved and then can bolt the furniture in rooms that support it once it has been made. To the best of knowledge they are only useful for show. Prices range roughly from 8k for the shoddiest work to 30k for extremely fancy items.

Map Making

Maps are required to 'cruise' directly to a particular place. Paths are simply cruising between multiple maps.

Map usage requires a navigator and maps in your bookcase. Arelium has an under ground general shop (some east of bank) which has small medium and large maps which are compatible with the ship bookcase. Simply buy these maps and insert them into your bookcase.

Making a map is as simple as securing your ship and typing 'ship survey <mapname>'. If you're surveying over land, the chances of your navigator successfully creating the map is greatly improved if your gangway is down (or cargo hatch open).

Once the map is created it will show up in your bookcase under 'bookcase list'. You can now cruise directly to this location (assuming your ship is capable of this) by typing 'cruise <location>'.

Note that another ship can send you a copy of their maps - so if you have a sailor friend, they can hook you up!

Making Tradelanes Maps

The tradelanes are visible from your ship via the 'view' command. You will see an Orange Glow in the water, this means you are in the tradelane. You can follow this tradelane until it ends in order to find intersection points. Intersection points (a point where two tradelanes meet) are often where the map location will be.

Tradelanes are more difficult to map because you cannot lower your gangway, and the navigator cannot explore outside of the ship. Map making will often fail in the ocean, destroying your map materials.

Path Example

This path will allow your ship to cruise from laenor to deso. It required four maps: daerwon, desolathya-lucentium1, desolathya3, windham. 

paths add lae2deso cruise daerwon,desolathya-lucentium1,desolathya3,windham

Note that you need to make these maps yourself, or get them sent to your ship.
