This may already be a thing.
I don't know.
But it would be cool if you could pull up to the docks of a city and recieve a delivery quest.
Then you have to sail it to its destnation port within a certain amount of time.

When the quest starts a linked npc at buccs den docks can offer a quest to go hijack the shipment.
like "i hear tell of a shipment of 100k black pearl leaving maginca this afternoon. Ill pay 100k to the pirate that brings me that cargo."

Then the hunt is on.

It could get really fun. Especially gump options could be added to create contracts between players. Like 10% per crew mate 50% for captain.

yeah work is boring today.

With the exception of pre trammel osi I only played one other private server. And it was horrible.
I lasted a week before quitting.

The people in charge of the server cheated and loved to cheat on PvP.
You could hardly go anywhere without bumping into one. And they were impossible to kill.

But this new ship addition adds a lot of possibilities.
You could have checkpoints and multiple ports for trade routes. Along with seamonster attacks.

The pirates could choose to keep the cargo for free matz or return it to buccs den for notoriety and gold.

You could install extra pirate islands. That pirate hunters could assault for fame.

There's just a lot of possibilities.

Its a ton of work to code all this shit so it may not be worth it. But its got some pretty cool potential.

You could even have blues staged in bugs, set to kill murderers that attempt to accept the PK quest.

I've always liked the idea of transporting supplies for profit.

I've always wanted to be on the creative team of an MMO. I got a book somewhere I wrote in prison about MMO communities o_O

AI did this with "sea gypsies" that required you to escort them by sea to another docks. There they gave you a fishing chart you handed to your tillerman, sailed to the location, and fished. The level of the sea chart meant more points to fish at per chart, and each point had higher percentages for pulling serpents. A similar system for materials (standard mats), correspondence (mib or map), or escorting someone alive (like a noble/Seeker of Adventure) would be cool.

I will say from experience that the sea gypsy element did create clear travelling lanes that pirates would patrol to intercept people on these quests.
