I've been thinking that long distance travel is boring and efficient while just waiting around, so what if with a little more work you could add cots to the ship or boat, for the bigger ones more preferable, but as doing this may take 2 seats on the boat instead of one, but yet you would stay longed in and it would do as good as the beds because of the movement ships give off. This would give players more reason to travel in packs more if they need to go AFK they could, maybe while your asleep you couldn't do anything, such as talking or building. But this is just a thought or two i had while logging off in my boat.
