Longboats

Viking Longboats

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” – William Arthur Ward

Rules for Longboats:

• Heavy damages (Immediate damage that exceeds at least 1/4 of the ships total HP) can only be repaired out of combat. If the longboat is that of Class III or higher, then the ship will require repairs at a port and cannot be fully repaired on the go.
• Modifications to longboats can only be completed at ports. Large modifications will require the usage of 2 Modification Slots.
• Unless specified in the class features, longboats cannot make immediate 90, 180, or 360 degree turns without the momentum of the boat coming to a complete stop.
• Momentum is the amount of distance a boat will travel after its propulsion has stopped (In other terms, how far the boat will drift forward once rowers have stopped and/or once the sails have been fully raised). Smaller boats will drift less then larger boats.
• Startup is the movement required in order to have the longboat go at full speed. Startup restricts the longboat to half of its normal movement speed on the longboats first turn. After the initial term the boat will be at full speed, unless something obstructs the longboat from being able to get its Startup.
• Eskipre (Es-Kippur) are the roles needed to have a longboat be fully functional. All classes may require the following Eskipre which are Captain, First Mate, Bosun, Quartermaster, Rowers, Master Gunners, Surgeon, and Cook. The necessity for these roles varies with each class.
• Going against and with the wind will determine whether a longboats speed will be increased or reduced. These specifications are described in the ship class overview.
