[Implemented] Ships Journal

Postby Admiral Nelson » Sat Dec 24, 2016 3:18 pm

Players have accounts of what they have done, so perhaps a Biography for Ships could be made?

Such accounts would be:
> BAT,AAT or DAT
> When it was built. ( Exact Day )
> Who it was built by.
> Who was it stole by? ( If stolen )
> How long did it spend in Mariner?
> Has it earned its keep? ( Stole any Ship of the Lines, plundered any victims purses, has it seen war?)
> Highest Attribute Count ( Only records the details after changing hands, or being levid due to players knowing its true value )
> Sunk info (when,how,where,who)
> Recovery info (when,how,where,who)

Only problem with this is: It is impossible to know every single ships history whilst making one for each ship would take a lot of time so I suggest:

A player would pay to have the history 'logged' at a bare price of 5 Credits, or if the ID of the ship is below 50,000 then it automatically is made.

The player would choose whether to make it public, either on " Hall of Ships page " ( Another suggestion ) or keep it mute.

I find it would be interesting to know, if still around the History of Joe Boots Sotls and many MoW's and other infamous Players.

I like this idea and it should be considered for the future.

Right now there are several more important features for the admins to focus on.

I think it's a good idea seeing a ships individual history.

Approved. Priority is to make it after daily Avonmora Herald script is ready which is the feature we are currently working on.

I have updated the first post to include shipwreck hunt information.
Any other ideas, feel free to add.

ships history

Postby Psychodad » Mon Jan 30, 2017 1:35 pm

As my fleet grows with all of my newly salvaged ships, it occurs to me that a ship's history would be very interesting. Something along the lines of:

Keel laid in (Avonmora Date)
Commissioning Date
Plank owners (original Captain and Guild/Country)
Succession (listing of owners)
Sold/Bought/Sunk/Salvaged

I assume data about this is maintained in the record of the ship number, might need some artistic flourishes applied.

This has been suggested before, but nothing came of it even after a lot of people gave a +1.
