Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) It just makes sense... traditionally, large ships all had row boats for landing parties or even for survival craft. Let us load row boats into Corbita, Cogs, and Caravels. Knarrs traditionally didn't have them, but for wogic purposes let us load them too (so people don't cry). Plus, if a wagon can fit, a rowboat should too. Edited June 4, 2017 by Nomadikhan 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2017 +1 If we can load a wagon or cart why not a rowboat! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2017 This the 4th time I've seen a suggestion like this and I'm all for it. At least load a rowboat for the boats that can't go into shallow water. Like Knarr wouldn't be able to load a rowboat. Only Cog, Corbita and Caravel should be able to load rowboat. They should do something to get the bigger boats more popular in the game. Most everyone uses either a Sailboat or a Knarr everywhere. The other boats just aren't taken or used seriously in this game since can't go shallow water. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 4, 2017 We can load a full large cart or full wagon (which is super amazing to be able to do now by the way) into a large boat so why not a small rowboat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 +1 Just unsure if rowboat should take any volume...to be able to... sell or deliver a full boat with crates and return with the spare rowboat.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) I'd say it should take up space/volume just as any other loaded vehicle would. I'd like to see it fit in with wurm's ideals. Edited June 5, 2017 by Nomadikhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 IMO it'd fill up a bit more space than a large cart. The point isn't to mass transport them, but to have a secondary small ship at your disposal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 Safe boats are usually on deck.. while cargo is below.. I see no problem.. limit the loading to 1 boat.. OR cut from storage volume, problem solved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't always have a port available and in those cases you moored offshore and used the skiff or jetty to landho!~ Edited June 5, 2017 by Nomadikhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 Personally I think the realism would go out of the window in something like this, but it would make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greadtly depends how it would be implemented. Row type boats have been used for hundreds of years to moor large ships offshore and sail to shore with. It would need good care in balancing, but makes sense to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2017 I would be happy if they just re-enabled dragging a boat while commanding the larger boat. That was quite handy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2017 +1 Rowboat should not be much different in size than a large cart and loadable in all ships that could carry a large cart. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2017 Loading a Rowboat or having a built in dingy on the large ships would be great. I'd also love to see a tow rope, so you can bring home boats you left somewhere, or when buying/selling boats. They don't need to be able to cross borders. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
