      Naval Boarding - seizure of ships

      By Nicolaus_von_Kues · Posted

      Officer functions   - Helmsman: increases the ship's rotation speed and maneuverability. - Chief of Oarsmen: increases the ship's movement speed. On ships capable of ramming, it also improves ramming damage. - Marine Officer: increases the ship's boarding and capture power. - Commander: determines the ship's command rank and defensive capture capacity, defining its capture points.   The officers would not simply provide generic bonuses. Their importance would depend on the ship's role.   For example, the Chief of Oarsmen would be particularly important on a Ram Ship, while the Commander would be more important for a heavily defended warship.   The Marine Officer could work together with the soldiers garrisoned aboard the ship to determine its ability to capture enemy ships.   This would make naval combat more than a simple exchange of hit points. A ship could lose specific capabilities as its officers are killed or incapacitated:   - Losing the Helmsman reduces rotation speed. - Losing the Chief of Oarsmen reduces movement speed and ramming effectiveness. - Losing the Marine Officer reduces boarding power. - Losing the Commander reduces the ship's defensive capture capacity.   The ship class would determine which special abilities it can use. For example, only ships designed for ramming would deal ramming damage, while a Fire Ship would specialize in incendiary attacks rather than ramming.

      Selecting didn't seem to work, neither the making a shape. Maybe I just don't understand how they work

      Naval Boarding - seizure of ships

      By Nicolaus_von_Kues · Posted

      A core crew should be established, and the ship should have captains and all kinds of authorities who can rise through the ranks. This will boost the morale of the Garrison; higher morale means greater resistance to capture. I imagine photos of the crew with their health bar and morale bar in addition to their experience level. - Helmsman: increases the ship's rotation speed and maneuverability. - Chief of Oarsmen: increases the ship's movement speed and improves ramming effectiveness, with ramming damage applying only to ships designed for ramming. - Marine Officer: increases the ship's boarding and capture power. - Commander: determines the ship's command rank and its defensive capture capacity, defining the ship's capture points.   The officers would therefore give each ship different functional capabilities rather than simply adding more crew members. The commander would determine how difficult the ship is to capture, while the Marine Officer would improve its ability to capture enemy ships.   #### The helmsman could make it less likely to be caught with the hook.

      The Great War

      By Nicolaus_von_Kues · Posted

      The name should be "Global War" or "Doomsday Conflict", referring to nuclear annihilation.
