My Idea for Sailing

[Davy]

I think the entire ship interface needs to be changed.

NOTE: Everything contained in this thread IS NOT what is in the game now, but rather a proposal for POTCO to consider.



Ships speed ratings:

Light Sloop: 200 speed points.
Light Galleon: 100 speed points.
Light Frigate: 150 speed points.

Mid Size Sloop: 350 speed points.
Mid Size Galleon: 200 speed points.
Mid Size Frigate: 275 speed points.

War Sloop: 500 speed points.
War Galleon: 400 speed points.
War Frigate: 450 speed points.


Here are the maneuverable ratings for each ship:

Light Sloop: 100 maneuver points.
Light Galleon: 60 maneuver points.
Light Frigate: 50 maneuver points.

Mid Size Sloop: 125 maneuver points.
Mid Size Galleon: 75 maneuver points.
Mid Size Frigate: 60 maneuver points.

War Sloop: 200 maneuver points.
War Galleon: 150 maneuver points.
War Frigate: 145 maneuver points.


Here are the hit point ratings for each ship.

Light Sloop: 10 hit points.
Light Galleon: 25 hit points.
Light Frigate: 20 hit points.

Mid Size Sloop: 50 hit points.
Mid Size Galleon: 80 hit points.
Mid Size Frigate: 80 hit points.

War Sloop: 80 hit points.
War Galleon: 120 hit points.
War Frigate: 140 hit points.


Sails have the same amount of hit points as the hulls. If a ship has 4 sails (mast poles), the amount of hit points is divided among the sails.


Cannonball hit rates:

Round Shot:

Basic single-dot does 1 hit point of damage. Every 2 skill points added do an added 1 hit point of damage.

Chain Shot: Only effective against sails.

Does same amount of damage as round shot. Each skill point added does an extra hit point of damage.

Grape Shot: Same as what it is currently, only effective against crew or the Kraken.

Firebrand:

Does same amount of damage as round shot. Has same skill point : damage ratio as chain shot. Sets a ship on fire for 20 seconds, unless it sinks. Does 1 hit point of damage for every 10 seconds a ship is on fire.

Lightning Bolt:

Does 3 hit points of damage. Every added skill point adds 1 hit point of damage to the total damage hit points.

Explosive:

Automatically sinks a ship, no matter where on the ship it hits, and no matter how many hit points of damage a ship's hull has. If the explosive hits the sails, it automatically knocks down ALL sails of that ship.

Fury:

Does 2 hit points of damage. Every skill point added does 1 extra hit point of damage.


Ships:

Basic Access members should be able to purchase any light class ship.

Light Sloop: 100 gold. Light Galleon: 200 gold. Light Frigate: 300 gold.

Unlimited Access members:

Sailing Level 5 = Access to Mid Size ships. Sloop: 1,000 gold. Galleon: 2,000 gold. Frigate: 3,000 gold.

Sailing Level 10 = War ships. War Sloop: 10,000 gold. War Galleon: 20,000 gold. War Frigate: 30,000 gold.

Sailing Level 15 = Customizable ships. Customizable ships I will not go into, the POTCO staff can figure that out.

Sailing Level 20 = All ships 10% off price.

Sailing Level 25 = All ships 25% off price.




Hope you guys like this, and most of all, I hope the POTCO staff like it!
