Crashing

You know how if you get too close to an island, it says "You are too close to shore" or something like that? Well, I think that we should be able to keep sailing past that boundary and damage our ships by hitting land. And we could also do Ramming Speed into that fort on Port Royal that you can see when approaching. What do you think?

Lol....another bumper carz pirate you be is what I thinkin....

Ok. though,,really,,it would cause lag probably,,,,and port would be jammed up with those wanting to ram everything..

.but mebbe on the opposite track, a skill(just like full sail) for sailing "through" an island would be doable...just like how peeps walk through each other now...and it'd look cool...

There actually was a glitch that enabled you to do that. It's long fixed by now, but I'm sure you can find youtube videos of it. Anyway, while you can walk through people now, that's for invasions (as much as people dislike the fact). Sailing through islands would be kind of pointless IMHO. I mean, I want SOME aspect of realism to the game, ya know?

I think it would be cool to allow ships to be damaged by sailing too close to shore / in shallow water. There would need to be some type of indicator. Unfortunately, it won't ever happen because:

That glitch was in-game because of remnants of the original code that allowed you to launch ships from the harbors way back in Beta Phase 1. Took them a long time and a few tries to "fix" it. I remember the very first time the POTCO Community Team (Marceline Guild) took their ship, The Magic, out publicly they sailed through part of Port Royal. lol, good times.

lol, I used to favor hiding in DA and waiting to surprise attack. Good times for sure.
