Problem is commodity deeds in the old style ship hold cant be opened / used.

My old style boat takes damage and can be repaired.

New ship holds act like commodity deed boxes due to needing lots of supplies to keep repaired.

Just seems right if the old style ships are getting damaged, would be a little easier to keep repaired if we could use commodity deeds in hold like the newer style boats.

Oh, and it would be nice if old style ship checked hold for supplies to repair like new newer style ships.
(hard to have heavy weight in backpack for repairs)

I think this belongs in Suggestions, but here are my thoughts: Old style ships cost way less. Commodity Chest functionality for only 10k gold cost of a ship doesn't sound right to me. One could buy a galleon and overcome these issues without changing anything. What is the benefit of old style ships? ...and why shouldn't there be a disadvantage to owning them? Old style ships can be locked and not boarded when scuttled. I think owning old style ships have the benefit that they can be easily emptied, dry docked, and packed around. Galleons seem to be for the opposite, put into service for long term, but having to navigate the map, and a risk of being boarded once scuttled. With 4 accounts, ships and galleons can be strategically placed or used to service other ships owned. Could always gate/recall in another toon with supplies needed for repairs; with high Tailoring and Carpentry skills the amount of required resources are roughly reduced by half. How is your ship taking damage, sounds like you might be using the wrong vessel for what you are doing, or different tactics can be used perhaps? Personally I see little benefit in having an old style ship. I think if you are concerned about being scuttled, boarded, and losing a bunch of stuff the old ship is perfect, but has its disadvantage; the holds lack of size and functionality.

I am curious how the holds of older boats operate on production. Does anyone have an active account that could chime in?

 

[Bob]

i think maybe another question, do older style boats take damage on production ?

Damage​

During combat all types of ships take damage, this can be repaired via the tillerman’s context menu and requires wood and cloth. Less resources are consumed if the character undertaking the repair has carpentry skill. Damage levels are ‘slightly’, ‘moderately’, ‘heavily’ ‘severely’. An undamaged ship shows its condition as ‘pristine’.

The Commodity Deed​

A commodity deed is a blessed, pale green deed purchased from an NPC banker (excluding the Ilshenar Gypsies). It allows large quantities of stackable resources to be transported and traded safely. They cannot be used by players on Endless Journey accounts.

To use the deed place it, and(add ?) the commodity you wish to transport on it, in your bank box (not in a container within your bank box), in the hold of a High Seas Ship or in a commodity deed box in your home.

i understand, and its ok the way it is,
Not sure when it changed, but sometime ago here i was thinking old style ships did not take damage.

Im not saying it should be one way or the other. Just curious if its working as intended.

I was hunting pirates one night and the pirates scuttled my rowboat lol. Rowboats don't need to be repaired though, if you travel far enough away from a rowboat it will be re-deeded and added to the players backpack that deployed it.

I think older style ships shouldnt take damage at all. They are fishing boats now.. just my opinion, tho.. i mean, you cant equip them with cannons, or anything.. so why?

does the pumpkin boat work this way?

 

[Bob]

if you re-click it and re-place, old one disappears.
