Welcome to Cove

Ahoy! From Captain Pickles! Been playing with the new Beta. Looks pretty cool. Got me  Gargoyle ship, complete with two heavy cannons so far. (Figgin things take 1,800 ingots each.) Now to destroy some pirates or what not.

Haha I got like 4 other people from cats and we outfited two ships with cannons...well mostly I did, the making of all the ingredients is a crazy process filled hardship. Just like the Covian way. But seriously it's a crazy sequence.

The whole expansion is looking pretty sweet so far. I can't wait to try boarding and sinking some NPC pirate ships. :)

Expansion...?  ???

Not expansion per say kas look on www.uohearld.com has everything you need to know about it

I have a few spare heavy cannons sitting in my shop :)

Please don't leave that there. :/

You know you love it!

If you have the booster feel free to move it, it's set to Guild access. But why would it not be ok to have it there?

Docks are not built yet and you have not gotten with raz yet about becoming a ship capt.

Kas has secured himself a very snazzy, not to mention modest, rowboat ! :D

I don't fancy the galleons much, at least not until such time as they introduce one in the style of the "old fashioned" boats. I'd advise all new sailors to get acquainted with the security features that come bundled with your vessels (I.E who can access what). Once I'd had a sail in my little rowboat (which was magical) I logged onto my thief character in order to do my part for the community and expose any glaring security hazards in this new nautical realm.

What!? Why are you making that face!?

But seriously, do fiddle with your settings. So far I've boarded two boats, the first had moorings unlocked but access to hold locked. The second had both moorings and access to hold unlocked. I didn't have the heart to strip the man of his hard earned lobster gubbins and miscellaneous planks but rest assured had I discovered something gold and shimmering it would've been a different kettle of fish. The one saving grace of modern boat ownership (at least in the 2D classic client) is that you can see hidden people. The owner of the first boat brought this home to me by hailing my thief by name, which led to the rather awkward claim that I was a mast inspector. Once on the second boat I discovered what he'd actually seen when I found someone (I assume the owner) hiding by his mast, presumably away from the high seas of his keyboard. Not only can you see their greyed out character but you can access their paperdoll and such like.

So there you go, pirates aren't the only danger of the seas !

I'll get on with my "community service" and report back if I find out anything else worth mentioning.

I didn't know the docks were a requirement? Also I only found out today about the requirements to have a boat and added him to my ICQ list.

Must say I bought the boat (I've always owned one) Though I am refraining from arming the little devil until I have managed to convince the Heir Apparent that I should have a boat. . . may have to make it worth his while.

I didn't know you could own just a row boat. Thought it was required to have a vessel first to deploy it from. Neato.

The security features are nice, I set it so strangers can not board her, party are passengers and Guild Members are Officers. Figure nobody who has "guild Member" as their rank is going to steal my boat much. Besides I have the key and you can not dry dock it without the key. :P
