Title: UO Town Hall Announcements - SHIP BATTLES (Pirates)
Post by: Oracle on August 28, 2010, 02:09:53 PM
Watched the UO Town Hall today via the Live Stream and heard that there are some really good things coming before the end of the year...

FINALLY SHIP BATTLES (PIRATE)!  One of my first posts on SUO was saying how nice it would be if ships could battle each other! The request was FINALLY answered...!  New 'booster' (mini expansion?) with ships, sea monsters etc etc.

New boat models with boat paints -- 3 types Orc, English, and Tokuno
New boarding method and can control ships with your mouse -- No More Typing!
Increased boat and house storage
Cannons, ship repair and crafting (carp and tailors use less resources)
Only cannons can damage ships and cannons can be damaged
Tinker ability to make cannons, fuses, ammo,
NPC merchants you can shoot and board (and loot)
NPC (Cursed) Pirates with a New Sea Island
Secret island you need a map to find (moves location)
Lobster fishing and Lobster traps
36 new fish (2 mountable - One a Marlin)
Legendary Fishermen up from 100 to 120
Dread pirates with bounties on their heads
Row boat if your ship cant reach the harbour
Sea town with Harbor Master that you can pay to load/unload your ship if no docking available
16 new cooking recipes using fish that will give temporary 5 minute boosts
New Sea Monster similar to the Slasher of Veils fightable from ship

There were some other items I noticed in there that sounded pretty cool:

20% storage increase included with the expansion for house and bank
120 skill scrolls for fishing


$14 says this gets TM fishing on a production shard again...

the funny thing is i needed white pearls so i gm'd three fishermen four days before this announcement.  I am sitting on 1000+ sots.  I am still tossing the green nets but keeping the sots.  Maybe i should start to store the green nets in all my free storage containers.

I am wondering what sort of storage and decay timers will be on these new boats.  If they are persistent and have decent storage, it might be a nice way to branch out to a new shard.

As long as you don't forget about refreshing it regularly. If you have no problems remembering that then you are fine doing it now, forget about then. I don't recall there being a limit on how many boats someone can have in the water at any given time ;)

That's the same basic question that's been around since the first few publishes.  There are some things that will always be broken.

Suddenly, TM should see a surge in the number of downloads for his Fishing Script...

I was wondering if you had a house on the coast of a waterway, can it be damaged by Cannon Fire?  That would be great so see your friends and enemies having to have to get their Carpenters and Tinkerers out to do Home Repair...!

Also if someone or something is walking along the coast can you target them and shoot them?

Land Sea Battles! Woo Hoo!

if they fix the current pvp problems they might fix it for the worse....
