A floating, wooden vessel - outfitted with an array of nautical materials and mechanisms to make it controllable. A ship is used to sail the seven seas.
== Security and Permissions==
{{infobox|'''Important''' : *Without an attached [[boat lock]] that is appropriately set with permissions, anyone can use a ship. If the ship is not [[mooring anchor|moored]] it can also be pushed away.It is therefore highly recommended that players lock AND moor their ships for ultimate security.}} '''***The person who finishes the ship becomes the owner. '''***To prevent someone from stealing or finishing your theft of an unfinished boat make sure no one but you can get access by building ship, it in a small temporary house.''' *Ownership can be transferred is advisable to limit accessibility to the unfinished vessel by the owner in the vehicle management windowway of surrounding fences or walls and limited access set therein. *The owner and any person with the ''Manage'' right can manage the overall usage permissions through a window available via the ''Manage vehicle'' menu option. *The permissions window is available only if the ship is locked, however. These permissions control ''drive'' (embarking as commander), ''mount'' (embarking as a passenger), ''accessing the inventory hold'' of the ship, "dragging" the ship , and ''managing the item''. Each of these rights can be granted or denied to any individual characterplayer. The All rights , except "manage item" , can also be assigned by group, such as "citizens", "alliance" or "everyone". The player listed as the current owner will always has have all permissions. The permissions window is available only if the ship is locked however. *To secure a ship from being pushed away you , it can moor it be moored with a [[mooring anchor]]. A ship can be moored by the commander and any passenger , but only the commander can later raise the anchor. *On [[Freedom]] , ships can not cannot be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]]. Trying so Attempts will result in the message ''Stealing boats is punished with the death penalty here. You decide not to''. *Non-premium accounts should avoid crossing to Chaos on boats requiring >20 mind logic. Characteristics for non-premium accounts are capped at 20 on PVP rather than 30, meaning you will lack the skill to pilot the vessel.
== Creation ==
*Ships are made using [[ship building]], usually started by combining two [[keel section]]s.
*The person to attach the last piece to an unfinished ship becomes the owner and original signed maker when it is finished. Ownership can then be transferred by the owner, to a new owner, through the vehicle management window.*Trying to build a ship in a (large) cart will present the message "[01:06:39] You can't work with the Unfinished small rowing boat unfinished ''ship type'' in the large cart.", it . It is therefore not possible.*When ships are a ship is created, a default 1 ql lock is automatically attached to the ship, the ship is locked, and permissions are enabled. The owner of the ship can change the [[boat lock]], which may be necessary for security on PvP servers. The lock can only be removed and reattached by the owner on PvE servers.
== Operation ==
*Most ships require some [[mind logic|Mind logic]] (see to operate. See [[#Vessel Details|Vessel Details]])for more information on this.
*Ships with a [[quality]] of less than 10 cannot be commanded. This includes ships whose [[damage]] percentage would calculate to bring the quality below 10 (eg. a 12 quality ship with 17 damage calculates to a ship below 10 quality).
*The achievable speed of a ship at any one time is determined by 5 factors: the quality of the ship, the type of ship it is, the number of crew (players) aboard the ship, weather/wind factors, and any runes mounted on the ship. The exact weight given and formula attributed to each of these speed-deciding factors need further confirmation by staff.
*Server crossing: on '''Freedom servers''' you need permission to command the boat, set individually for you, to sail to another server (anyone can cross as passengers), on . On '''Epic servers''' you can cross servers as friend too - the ownership transfers to the commander then.
== Additional Notes ==
*Can Ships can be transported over land using [[ship_transporter|ship transporter]]s.*Note: The [[small raft]] is not considered a functional ship, as it floats, but cannot be boarded, so does not even count as a boator commanded.
