First of all, I'd like to point out that I don't have a ship, so clearly I
don't have any clue what I'm talking about.

That being said, I've noticed a trend in batmud. To me, it seems that you want
things and you will get them if you try hard enough. Sometimes you get minor
sometimes major setbacks. Lets take a simple example. How to achieve level
100? You need to exp, you need to exp a lot. It will take time, sometimes
monster kills you and you lose some. Sometimes player kills you and you'll
lose some. Revenge is a sweetie, sometimes you can make your opponent pay eye
from eye, sometimes you have to think.

As I see sailing, ships, whatnot, being clueless idiot without a ship, I see
it as this: Ship will get you to places, easier and faster as it could be done
by some other means. This is something that I see is worth of some effort. And
as the usual batmud style has shown us all, you won't get it just like that.
