Naval Warfare.
Right guys, after a slightly heated discussion and the fact I now feel someone has presented me with a challenge, I spent several hours planning last night, and have finally got a rough idea of how naval battles could be conducted.
The rough idea would be, that you could only command a ship if you are an officer, although you may be aboard the ship as a normal sailor (I don’t know too much about the Navy, so please bear with me). As commander of a ship, you give orders and the men aboard your ship carry hem out, and fire at the enemy. The advantages to having a PC on your ship, is that your orders become more effective.
Ships will not be too expensive. 30CP for a destroyer, but 150CP for an aircraft carrier. You will be able to command certain ships depending on your rank, and nobody will be able to command and aircraft carrier for a while. Most battles will be one ship versus another, but the higher rank you are, the more ships you can bring into a battle. However, you are still on your flag ship, and if that goes down, you are in trouble.
Ships will also have another of ‘hard points’. These a places on a ship which you don’t want to be come damaged, such as the engine room, propellers, bridge, sonar, ect.
I think it could be good, but it will also be a lot of hard work for myself and the staff. Basically, I want to know if you lot would be interested in it, and take part. You would need new characters, but we may also be able to add marines at some point, if this all works.
I want raw feelings here guys, and even here I now peer presure exists, so you won't see the results until after you've voted. I would rather you didn't sit on the fence, because ussually these things need a kick start which only you can give.
I'm happy to work if you want it, but please tell me if my work will be in vein.
So, would you make a new character and sign up?

Never said it couldn't work, just didn't want a project of this magnitude to undergo work right now. As I've said again and again, there's other open-wounds within the updating market that need to be sought with first.
