I notice boats are a common place in the game, but beyond use for moving around/hauling and for storage of items they serve a limited function. Also the lack of a market for boast is discouraging for some people. The lack of a market I think is caused mostly due to a lack of need for new boats. I'd like to see cannons added to larger boats. At least the Cog, Knarr and Caravel. With the number of cannons being higher with the larger the boat. These could have a mechanic similar to catapults. Meaning they'd need to be loaded, need ammo, someone to man the cannon, and of course have a similar range. Aspects that could be considered for discussion would be allowing them to damage land target as well, which I think offer a new aspect for cost defense of a deed. It also would introduce a new aspect of PVP and home server defense. The effect of a boat sinking in deep water is obvious for both of the passenger and the items they lose, and though that can be costly to any player, it does add an material sink to the game and controls inflation, along with the destruction of items, people continue to have a purpose to do an activity, be it replacing armor and items permanently lost or the ships themselves. Ty for your consideration and constructive critism.
