You are misusing innocent chicken, i will report you to Greenpeace

Yes especially since we were forced to slaughter one of them. lol

I have found that you can sink a boat just by having 1 too many "crew" members. Doesn't even matter if the weight is low. I found that by trying to add 2 chickens to my sloop with 2 people and 2 chickens and a max of 3 crew it started sinking. So sadly that means its very easy to sink someone's small boat.   

Well, I was thinking the balance would be the weight of the animal still counts toward the max weight of the ship but having a new livestock limit works for me. Good idea. 

Also the size of ships limits how many animals can fit. Can you fit 5 wolves on a raft? I suppose so so yeah ok, livestock limit. 

While playing last night a wild crow landed on my sloop and started sinking it! Nope not over weight. The damn crow was added to the crew count limit. lol. I'm going to report this as a bug. I almost spent a point to increase the crew limit until I discovered it takes 2 levels to add 1 crew member. Seemed like a waste of levels just so a crow can land. 

I added 2 chickens to a sloop that had 2 people running it and it started to sink! It was sinking because we had 4 out of 3 allowed crew. I wanted to add a source of vitamins and food by getting eggs. 1 female chicken for eggs and 1 male chicken to inspire her.

It is ridiculous to count chickens as a crew member. They are cargo and should only count as weight. How are we to trade animals and run a ship? All tames should only count as weight/cargo. 

Yeah, I'm sure there would be problems like too many traps all over the place...

Then I go back to the idea of using rope to tie up an animal to hold it longer. Surely a bunch of pirate sailors can handle using rope to tie up an animal. lol

I read someone's suggestion about animal traps and I wanted to repost it for greater visibility. The current taming method only works if you build some kind of trap house. It would be more fun if it was added to the skill tree. Animal Trap Tier 1...Animal Trap Tier 2 etc. Let us place appropriate bait in the trap and wait for an animal to be trapped. Then we feed it through the trap feeding window.

Or at least allow us to make rope and hog tie them once it is bola'ed. Having the animal constantly escape and then need to be nearly killed every 2 minutes doesn't really seem like a good idea to tame something. 

I realize this might be very difficult to implement but it really sucks to cross from one server to another and end up directly in the face of a ghost ship. Especially for unarmed rafts or sloops.

Is there someway to see even a fuzzy image of a ghost ship through the server "wall" so we can choose to cross at a different location? Please. Right now it is a pot luck to travel. 

I hope they get eaten by sharks
