The High Seas (Naval MP Scenario)

[name]

while the dynamic ship availability is pretty nice for as many ships as will fit on the map,

Yeah, I remember noticing this feature when I skimmed through that version's code. If nothing else, it would make new maps easier to create.

the PVP map would be a nice thing to import

Its PvPvE map looked interesting too. I forget what it was called... Wesalyn...? Westin...?

it's a lot easier to disembark from the new ships than the old ones though, as there's many places you can get off now.

Including directly onto the deck of the ship which is attacking you. I find when my ship is in danger of sinking that's usually where I end up disembarking to, often with mixed results.

I'm not sure about the pvpve thing- that sounds interesting

and yes, often the enemy ship is the best place to run to- perhaps boarding is a little too easy now?
maybe limit the places you can disembark from the ships? bottlenecks?
like how the sub does it

Hmm, I guess it depends a bit on crew strength... in fact, if the enemy ship is heavily crewed there may be no place to board at all. That why it was necessary for cannon fire to harm deck crews - to create openings for your boarders. Though you might be right that most ship decks are too "open" now and we need at least another one like the sub.

Perhaps instead of putting solid walls down, use the new elevation feature to make boarding only possible from a few spots, but still allowing like ranged attacks and so on?
So a ship complete surrounded in people will still get swarmed without comprising the ease of access in the new version
I don’t actually know how it works unfortunately, but I think that would be ideal

Surprisingly, the elevation feature seems to have no affect on movement; it is purely cosmetic.

Aww man. I was hoping
Is there any way to allow attacks but not movement between two tiles?
