I see where you are coming from with the not popping out of the water when near a raft or dock I'm not suggesting people just sink either or that they cant just walk onto land. I'm just thinking a lot of the problem could be solved by not allowing overweight players to pop out of the water automatically. I thought maybe swimming while overweight could just eat at the stamina giving players time to get to land. As far as the ladder thing goes its just seems kinda weird that anyone that is overweight can just shimmy up a ladder may just be me though. I personally wouldn't mind having to pay better attention to the weight i'm carrying if it means a troop of overweight randos cant board and sink my ship if for some reason I forget to retract my ladders lol. Anyway I didn't take you as being negative I was just putting ideas out there and I appreciate the input I want the same thing when it comes to a well thought out conclusion.

As far as I know on official PVE servers people now cant get on other people boats unless they are in the company or allied and that takes away from the immersion I think. I'd like to purpose maybe some better ideas to solve this ship sinking greifing problem without making things annoying....hopefully. 1. if someone is overweight don't let them pop out of the water to land on a raft or anything for that matter. Maybe add an option to board the raft from the water if the encumbered player owns the raft. 2. if someone is overweight don't let them climb ladders 3. if someone is overweight don't let them jump at all (already done) 4. if someone is overweight don't let them glide (done) or zipline (maybe make the zip line or glider break if they try) 5. don't let people drop items in a set radius around rafts or boats that aren't theirs. This will prevent people who are encumbered from dropping items near a raft then getting on the raft or boat and picking the dropped items back up. 6. Somehow block items from landing on ships that are "thrown" from a distance 7. Prevent encumbered players from moving at all if they reach their weight limit. I'm no programmer or anything I just think these may be some better ways to solve the problem and not take away from the immersion is all. I think these ideas are better than the current solution but maybe not i'm just spit balling here

Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the E4 free port west island and came face to face with a FRIGG'N HYDRA! I stood watching it a moment laying waste to the local wildlife then suddenly POOF its gone! just blinked out of existence. When it left my Sloop exploded...Thankfully it had nothing on it. I feel bad for people who were there that had ships with lots of cargo though because from the way it sounds every ship in the grid met the same fate as mine....

Hey at least you can make salted meat now which hits your hydration....that should be fun for long voyages

I'm guessing so or its some convoluted process :/
