Jozzie McTowel 170 Posted February 27, 2019 Find a bug to sink them, I'm pretty sure that still is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forb Hidden 134 Posted February 27, 2019 Actually it's absolutely impossible to sink a ship in pve. They don't decay and there's no timer or else until they sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasemaier 16 Posted February 27, 2019 They should make a take-over counter, like the animals... Twice as long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you new or are u assiming they properly fixed the PVE ship weight sinking bug? Cuz for all I know it's not 100% fixed and still doable to sink ships in PVE with weight.

I never tried but if u manage to get hold of a ladder it might still get overencumbered, if u get higher than the boat itself and are able to toss items on the deck of the ship en masse u will be able to overencumber it and make it sink, this is not something I encourage you to do but if it's really bugging you and you are very very sure those boats are from people long gone then be my guest and find out how to trash someones boat on PVE, it's not like devs are banning people or it.

Hattrix 43 Posted February 27, 2019 Not advocating anyone try this, but..... I wonder if you can WAY overload yourself, die with 20k weight, then pick up the body and jump off a cliff with a glider suit. Then glide over your target ship, drop the overloaded body on the deck as you pass by. Dive bomb ships like a plane to sink them........ Except that would be a terrible thing to do to abandoned ships that take up space, so please don't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UncleMike 22 Posted February 27, 2019 Not entirely sure how but someone has been sinking our ships overnight on PVE we suspect they either jumped on or put tames on to exceed the crew limit. That's our working theory. 1 brig and one schooner sank 2 nights in a row. Planks were full before going to bet all crew fed well and paid. We had pulled them up next to a structure which may have given them deck access inadvertantly. Such a dumb mechanic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UncleMike 22 Posted February 27, 2019 Crew / weight limit should'nt affect while anchored. Simple fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same when you see seagulls floating on the ship or a lion and still using a crew slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatalCrazy 31 Posted February 28, 2019 They left a boat at my base and it is not possible to remove it. The developers urgently need to create some way to re-dispatch boats from inactive players, this is very bad on the PVE server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axden1 51 Posted February 28, 2019 They should just make a ship claimable after 21 days if it is outside of your claim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aifias 0 Posted February 28, 2019 It used to be claimable when you could stand on the boat... then with their "fix" which no longer allowed you to step foot on someones boat broke this system. You needed to stand on the ship and place a claim flag.. again no longer works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They destroyed a lot of features and content by trying to fix the griefing with rocket science, instead of just with a very simple no brainer fix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
