Hey guys! I'm SUPEr excited for ships! I had some Ideas to share with you!.

1. Ports. Ports would be an awesome feature in all biomes. They would be on beaches, maybe rivers. They wuld come with a dock that would hold several ships. A trading post: this would have a certain trader that would trade things from other biones i.e a Gondor trader selling Blue mtns. equiptment. Also taverns and inns. This would let you buy food and have a place to stay. Also every now and then a trader would come on a ship. It would be just like normal traders. Aslo a reqruitment building for hiring navies (look bellow). Aslo a boat salesman.

2. Different ships. Obviously some boats are different. There would be small, fast ones, and big slow ones that could carry a lot of cargo. You could even hire a crew for your ship to make things easier. The more crew members you have, the faster your ship will move. Aslo there would be some speacial ships. This would be like ships that are also homes. They would have a furnace and crafting table (and of course a bed). Also speacial cargo ships. These would have LOTS of cargo roome and would be perfect if you were moving to another place.

3. Hiring a navy. Of course this would be awesome. You could hire different ships for military purposes. Also you could hire trade ships. this would lead to you becoming a trader and you could make a lot of money off trade. You could hire many ships and even set up a HQ for your trading company. I also have a lot of ideas for different war ships:

Scout ships: light and fast, these ships hold very little, but move FAST

Archer ship: Archer filled ships that could bombard other enemy ships and ports.

Transport ships: These ships would let you carry your troops in a much more time effiecient way. Some ships could hold up to 50 men, but would be very slow.

Pirates: For evil aligned players, these ships would sink trade ships and steal their treasure.

Trade ships: You can buy these, but also some would be sailed by NPC's. They would vary in loot, but some could EXTREMELY rare and hold items such as mithril and gold.

Guard ships: These ships can either guard ships or ports. Thsi would make traveling for your merchants MUCH safer. Plus this could lead to awesome naval battles.

Seige ships: These ships would go around invading ports... (See bellow)

Landing ships: These ships would carry men onto shore so they could strike from several sides of a target.

4. Naval Invasion! These would work like regular invasions, but with ships. Seige ships would bombard ports and landing ships would set enemies onto the ports on foot. Also guard ships might fight the and port battles would star.

Thanks for reading! Feedback is appreaciated!
