let me back up...this would make it possible to make things and sell without having go to sea.

This is exactly why it will not be implemented.

Besides Ships... What other items do you have in mind to make/build?

As far as resources and gold bars go, I would say -1 as I would fear abuse. But if you added in a new market perhaps that takes resources/gold coin/time I would be interested to hear the idea.

Off the cuff, when Foot Soldiers/Army is implemented, I could see more buildings/specializations like "Blacksmith" "Armory" "Stables" etc...

the contract shipping system means you do not have to directly move your goods,
you can own and fill warehouses for pickup, or stock from other ports for direct sale.
however someone must still transport the cargo so ships will not stop sailing, you just would not have to sail yours if you did not want to.
