I've always wanted to make my own ship! I'm gettting tired of all the ship clones out there, especialy the gigantic number of light sloops and light galleons. This is what i think should happen.
You should first select your ship type, light sloop through war frigate. It should cost alot less since the other things will make up for it. Then a hull design it would be nice to have diferent paint styles. Then select a length and width so you could make a long galleon and a wide sloop. Then put in masts, 3 types of masts: Light mast, heavy mast, and secured mast. Then the sails on you mast, select the number of masts and sails also (But you cant have 7 masts on a light sloop
) You can have three sail types: Thin sail, thick sail and double layered sail. Then you put your stairs, posible from only 1 deck to 3 floors. Then where you put your wheel. Then your cannons, the price would depend on what angle the cannons could turn: 90, 135, 180 and 270. Then you can place your cannons wherever you like. Then the brodsides, limited but you can select the number. Then extra hull strength and armor, extra cargo hold, and extra shipmates quarters( for extra crew on your ship).
To start building: Light sloop: 10 LG: 100, LF: 400 S: 500 G: 2000 F:3500 WS: 5000 WG: 15,000 WF: 35,000
Length: +1 ft = 50 coins
Width: +1 ft = 50 coins
Masts: Light mast: 10 each, Heavy mast: 100 each, Secured Mast: 1000
Sails: Thin: 10, Thick, 100, double layered 1000
And the catagory of the masts and sails make it harder or easier to break and rip.
Cannons: 90 degrees 50, 135: 150, 180:250, 270: 500
Then a pirates flag for 100!
I think these prices are fair, comment if you want.
