Ship reversing fixes this
Now I know what you’re thinking, Sails don’t make a ship go backward!
What if the crew you have started using oars to move the ship backwards?
Then it would make sense right?
What do you think?
Imagine not docking in that position in the first place… Ez fix
Yes, but in the off chance that you do dock like this you’d want ship reversing.
Its not too time-consuming to just park farther away from the dock so you can actually turn your ship
Creating a fix to a problem that shouldn’t have happened in the first place
But well, if most sailing games have a way to reverse, I dont see why vetex shouldnt add it in his game
We love how its impossible to get your ship out when you dock your ship the same way NPC ships are docked. (correctly)
Fix plz Vetex
The docks in this game are not docks at all, they are traps. Once you’re in, there’s no way out. Have you noticed how the NPC ships never leave the docks? it’s because they’re stuck. The poor merchants docking at Ravenna fell for the trap and now they can’t leave, because boats can’t back up. They were never meant for boats park at, they were meant as a deterrent and a countermeasure against pirates docking to steal cargo, since the boats can’t back up. Hundreds of pirates have fallen for it, and were consequently arrested or sank right in the dock because the boats can’t back up. They’ve even managed to prevent assassinations using those docks, since the boats can’t back up. The Grand Navy’s raiding instructions tell them to hop off at the nearest bit of ground, Since the boats can’t back up. A boat in the dock is good as dead. If you sink it in the dock, no one is going to mourn for that boat, because it can’t back up. It had already been consigned to that dock for eternity, by destroying it you’ve simply ended its misery.
I feel like it’s either making this suggestion or giving shipwrights an option to turn your ship 180 degrees to mitigate this problem.
how did you get your boat into that position + go on land
and also, maybe someone might use ship reversing for a tactical maneuver in a ship battle
yes they do
if the wind is blowing into them from the front, the ship will go backwards
I found the answer it is to esc r and enter
I heard this before…
I was thinking a dock button when you are near land and if you’re docked you can undock which will teleport your shipbehind the dock area
and lose money?
I think not.
also you might not respawn and also have to sail back
and lose my leg chart? i think not
Womp womp should’ve picked ice or magma as your magic
good concept, but it might or might not get considered an low effort suggestion
I feel like I’ve seen this idea a fair few times - probably on the balancecord - but it deserves to be repeated again.
This would be excellent for getting out of docks, and considering that humans in AO are already abnormally strong, it’d work too. Plus, large ships powered by oars did exist in real life.
What might also be just as good if not better though would be a ship’s boat, which would not only be used for the same purpose of pulling the ship out of areas, but could be used for other purposes such as transporting personnel and cargo, storage to be towed along, and perhaps a way to escape if your ship gets sunk.
