Increase Loading Distance for Ships

[Kruggan 519]

Could we possibly increase the distance from which you can load or "reach" a crate or other object when loading onto a ship?  For example, for my corbita, I have to push the silly crates almost inside the boat to be able to reach it.  Otherwise when I embark on the ship and right-click on the crate to choose "Load Cargo" I get "that is too far away".  Granted there is an element of realism in the need for close proximity, which I can appreciate.  However, if reality is what we're going for, then loading a ship while embarked as it's captain is not very realistic either.  If we could just increase the loading range by 10ft or so - it'd be so much easier.

 

Thanks!

sure, doesn't hurt nobody and loading can be a pain.

 

Ohai could we get keybinds for loading?

They already incresed boat acces range way before they implemented load, iwonder why they used the old range for that

 

hmm, brobably because carts don't have that and they forgot to to add the baot exception to load.

Loading ships sucks!  Double the distance.

I would add to this and say, Leading distance could be increased also. It's a bit difficult sometimes to embark, then lead animals.

Been some time since this came up. again, I raised the level of a dock by 8 - 12 dirts. seems to help but dammn.

+1 for sure.  Would also be awesome to go into a loading view or something that looks down on the ship from above so you can see all the stuff.  Would also be nice if unloading went to the side of the ship (unload left, unload right) instead of under it.  thats just silly.

Also anyway we can apply this globally to all load actions? All load action would have a load range of many tiles.

[16:48:42] You are too far away to do that.

[16:50:17] You are too far away to do that.

LOOKS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ME. If I get any closer, I can't see the damn crate.

 

edit: I figured out the secret to loading the cog. Park the cog with the cargo on the right hand side near the middle of the ship. You should be able to see where the sides of the Cog are carved lower. Have someone sit in 1st Passenger position: crows nest. Put character doing loading in 2nd passenger position. Load from right of ship.
