Rowboat as choice in ship selection.

  • So here's an idea that has probably been suggested already, but I was too lazy to look for.

    Rowboat as a choice in ship selection.
    Now, this would be a choice for stealth and/or hardmode.

    For my idea to work, the only thing needed to be added to the rowboat is a mission table, which can be added to the front of the boat(Only 1 mission can be put down and voted for), or a mission table could be at an Outpost(Or there just couldn't be one, so you have to stick to bottles).
    The supply crate now functions as an ammo crate, when you open it, you resupply your ammo.
    The rowboat can now also be repaired.
    And you now respawn on/at the boat when killed
    An optional thing to add would be a small flagpole on the back of the boat, where you can hoist your colors =)

    That's it, everything else is as is. 4 players and you have to use the oars to get around.
    Want to change weapons? Change clothes? titles? Scars? Go to an Outpost. Need a cannon? Well, too bad, you've got an oar, use that.
    Want to know where you are on the map? Well, there isn't any map.

    Why you may ask? Well, the rowboat is small, easy to miss and still pretty fast, so if I was playing solo, that would actually be the boat I would use instead of the sloop.
    I was playing around earlier on it, going from island to island gathering chests, skulls and whatever I could find, and I was sad that this wasn't my actual vessel.

    I don't know, maybe I am just being weird for wanting this. But it is a lot of fun to row around in =)

  • What if they made row boats attached to every ship that you could take with you and sail around the seas and just leave your ship anchors somewhere like an outpost or in the middle of the ocean?

  • @haoleboi16 Your sarcasm is noted, but when you die in the rowboat, you spawn back at your ship, long way away from your loot.
    So, my rowboat for primary ship idea remains.

  • This is such a cool idea!!!! I think many players would get a kick out of this, and I know that me and my friends would!

  • @danish-crusader the respawn is the snag in the whole idea as the rowboat is not tied to the player like the ship. Until then your good idea is still practical and can still be played out in the current state with that one catch...don't die or get stuck. Ammo is abundantly available in the world and the only resource you need is bananas. If the rowboat gets destroyed another is easily obtained. The other upside to the rowboat is your mermaid doesn't pop up constantly warning other players of your presence.

    I see a rowboat only servers request coming soon.

  • Stick a cannon on there and I’m in. I want to live out my Battle Skiff fantasies!

  • I also had a blast just messing around with the rowboat, even hitched a ride on galleon last night by tying my boat to theirs while they were at dock. I was sure I was going to get caught...
    Wasn’t found and shot till they hit the sea.

  • @earmouse I hooked mine up to a Galleon ealier, loaded it up with all their stuff and left. They saw me and shot at me, but I was out of range and out of sight by the time they got the anchor up and tried to chase me down =D

    Anyway, I really like the Rowboat, and I wish I could have it as my main vessel, even if the only thing I can have is the respawn on it.

  • @danish-crusader I wasn't being sarcastic I love the idea of choosing a rowboat but I was also I guess throwing out another idea to yours about having every ship come with one.
