Boss ships

    I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me, but we need skeleton lord ships roaming the map, and these ships would be bigger than galleons and would only engage in battle if you fire at them. These ships would give you 3 times the loot than usual and would require you to board or pelt the captain(skeleton lord) with cannonballs. These ships would have 3 decks and would have cannons on the main deck and the first lowest deck, totaling 8 canons. But skeletons would not keep spawning on the ship. The only way the ship would be able to get more skeletons is by submerging itself, and after 3 or 4 minutes would resurface with more skeletons. The ship could not submerge if a player is on it.

    Just an idea to get some epic pve ship combat

    I've been working on something similar to this (a Skeleton Lord's ship), but rather than a single, slightly larger ship, it's two frigates (four-masted ships I made), one with the bow removed and the other with the stern removed, put end-to-end together. There are also other partial hulls along it acting as cannon positions and sniper towers. It's something worthy of the supposed power of a skeleton lord, but portrayed in a ship. There's a few other, smaller ships I made as well, such as the one with the placeholder name 'man-o-war' (for lack of an accurate name, since it isn't), basically a slightly larger galleon with 6 cannons per side, and crew to match. The frigate is a four masted ship with eight crew and 6-8 guns depending on balance. I plan to make posts of the two ships and the skeleton lord's ship separately, along with quite a few other ideas.

    As for your own idea, having the skeletons not spawn on the ship with players on board really doesn't make for good ship-to-ship combat. An entire crew save for one could board it, kill all of the skeletons on it, and then leave one player on board and sink a defenceless ship. Not a very good fight.

    @mcgarnaglewolf why would it only have 8 cannons if a galleon has 8 cannons

    @ultmateragnarok true but maybe decreased spawn rates because the ship would probably come with 50-75 skeletons

    @d4m0r3d 8 per side
