Combat is now becoming active on the seas of BatMUD!!!
There is more information at the ship's helm, under the combat menu. A few
major points: harbors are safe zones, having your ship anchored/landed affords
it some protection from attack. Attacking an mnavy ship can cause a pirate to
lose rep (especially if it is a small, mnavy ship).
In general, I wish for ship combat to be mostly voluntary amongst players,
with navy members fighting pirates. This is, naturally, how these two groups
gain their rep points, and gain their associated stats (dexterity and
strength, respectively). KEEP IN MIND! Changing your alignment resets your
rep permanently, although you may keep up to a level 6 'arr'.
Only ramming attacks are available for now, while I keep an eye on things,
eliminating bugs.
IMPORTANT!!!!
If you logged in before this post, you MUST quit/re-enter, AND dock/resummon
your ship, in order to update your character info for the various combat
functions.
