Bragan Benigaris Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Currently the easiest/cheapest way to gather rare permanent upgrades is to install an alt, harvest the rare ressource (e.g. Cartagena Tar), craft the module and put it in Captains Chest for easy transport. But why on hell a sane captain would stuff his personal travel chest with Tar? Or Copper plates in case of Copper plating if we get copper city? On the other hand books were in the age of sail a common content of captains chest and mostly small and lightweight enough for the chest. Therefore i suggest to swap these two types of items, let the personal skillbooks be stored in captains chest (and transported by tp), and the permanent modules only transported by ship. So we additionally get some reason for smugglers and traderhunters to linger around ports like Cartagena or Coppercity together with great opportunities for pvp :-) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Agreed. A Captain's Cabin ( and chest ) surely have a bookshelf, or several. Not cables and masts and folded light hammocks and barrels of superior gunpowder... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iroquois Confederacy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If we have to have a Captain's chest, I would want it to be skill books. However, as they can be used at sea, any skill book being transported is likely a mercantile act, and should be subject to capture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resources need to be brought back to a port to be crafted so chance some oe gets your trade ship. Easy solution is make the work shop needed not just for cannons, but any mod you want to craft you have to have a work shop in a port and bring all mats to that workshop to craft the mods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make all mods craftable but only in a workshop in your Capitol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKurj Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 actually now i think about it.... whats the point of it being just for books... how many people actually sail with a book... and if they are its because they are going to sell it or just looted it.... and want it for an elite book, or to sell it. I don't see the point of the change to allow books to be put in captains chest.. even mods these days. Do away with the captains chest except for marks... By allowing books to go in the chest it now removes any risk from trying to move a valuable book you likely only have an interest in selling.

Okay, Capitol not required but if only a workshop is required, someone could put their workshop in the resource producing port and we'd be back where we started: resources harvested, mods produced, and then added to the Captains Chest all in the starting port. Remove or change the Captains Chest and the ships will just get built in the original port, modifications made, and tp'd out. My goal is to see uninstalled mods or their necessary components out on the open water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than we have alts, but we should not be making rules cause of alts. We don't want to limit players to death either. We do want the casuals to have some fun after all, not every one is a lifer/vet/pro after all...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bragan Benigaris Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Well, make Refits or permaupgrades an item with weight 200-500, so that you can't transport it with a basic cutter. Now you have to transport the item or your ship from or to the production port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
