== Security and Permissions==

{{infobox|'''Important''' : *Without an attached [[boat lock]] that is appropriately set with permissions, anyone can use a ship. If the ship is not [[mooring anchor|moored]] it can also be dragged or pushed away.Always It is therefore highly recommended that players lock AND moor your their shipsfor ultimate security.*The owner and any person with the ''Manage'' right can manage the overall usage permissions through the ''Manage vehicle'' menu option. The permissions window is available only if the ship is locked, however. These permissions control ''drive'' (embarking as commander), ''mount'' (embarking as a passenger), ''accessing the inventory hold'' of the ship, "dragging" the ship, and ''managing the item''. Each of these rights can be granted or denied to any individual player. All rights, except "manage item", can also be assigned by group, such as "citizens", "alliance" or "everyone". The player listed as the current owner will always have all permissions. *To secure a ship from being pushed away, it can be moored by right clicking the ship and using "moor" with a [[mooring anchor]] inside the ships inventory. *A ship can be moored by the commander or passengers, but only the commander can raise the anchor.*On [[Freedom]], ships cannot be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]] (except by owner). Attempts will result in the message ''Stealing boats is punished with the death penalty here. You decide not to''.

*Ships are made using [[ship building]], started by combining two [[keel section]]s.*The person who finishes to attach the last piece to an unfinished ship becomes the ownerand original signed maker when it is finished. This was changed in Summer 2011Ownership can then be transferred by the owner, to a new owner, through the vehicle management window. Before that *When a ship is created, a default 1 ql lock is automatically attached to the last person who had ship, the ship is locked, and permissions are enabled. The owner of the unfinished ship in can change the [[inventoryboat lock]] became the ownerwhich may be necessary for security on PvP servers. To prevent someone from stealing or finishing your unfinished boat make sure no one but you The lock can get access only be removed and reattached by either building it in a locked cart or a small temporary housethe owner on PvE servers.

Ownership can == General Sailing, Operation == *Most ships require some [[mind logic|Mind logic]] to operate. See [[#Vessel Details|Vessel Details]] for more information on this.*Ships with a [[quality]] of less than 10 cannot be transferred commanded. This includes ships whose [[damage]] percentage would calculate to bring the quality below 10 (eg. a 12 quality ship with 17 damage calculates to a ship below 10 quality).*The achievable speed of a ship at any one time is determined by 5 factors: the quality of the ship, the type of ship it is, the owner in number of crew (players) aboard the vehicle management windowship, weather/wind factors, and any runes mounted on the ship. The exact weight given and formula attributed to each of these speed-deciding factors need further confirmation by staff.

==Server-Crossing Mechanics ==*On Freedom servers, you need permission to command the boat, set individually for you, to sail to another server (anyone can cross as passengers). On Epic servers, you can cross servers as friend too - the ownership transfers to the commander then.*When crossing servers from one map to another, the lettered/numbered grid always aligns from one map to the next. For example, if a player crosses a border east/west at the M-letter of the grid, they will end up on the same M-letter gridline on the next map. * The owner and any person server arrangement map found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/49ny4u0v6lstgwo/freedom.png?dl=0 was originally intended for use with the ''Manage'' right can manage game before course-plotting was a sailing feature. This means that now, it is only representative of the usage permissions through geographic layout one might expect if sailing across a border without plotting course. By plotting a window available via course, the arrangements on this map become irrelevant as the game directly "wormholes" the vessel to the destination map of choice in the plotting panel. Furthermore, when crossing using the plot feature, the destination map will always align with what would be assumed correct geographically: sailing south from one map, once across the server line, puts the player sailing toward the north shore of the ''Manage vehicle'' menu optiontarget map, etc, etc.

The permissions control ''drive'' (embarking as commander)== Warning Messages ==* Crossing too near to a map corner can cause game issues and is advised against. If you are too close to a corner, ''mount'' (embarking as you may get this message: {{event|inline|Suddenly, strong winds and waves throw you overboard!}} *If you are approaching a server border without a passenger)destination set, ''accessing you will see this message: {{event|inline| You see dark shadows moving beneath the inventory hold'' of waves. There is nothing in this direction.}}. *If you are too close to a server border without a destination set, you will see this message: {{event|inline|You feel a disturbance in the ship and ''managing currents. You are approaching the settings''. Each edge of these rights can be granted or denied to ''all friends'', ''all villagers'' lands and ''everyone''. The owner always has all permissionsshould turn back immediately. The settings only take affect if the ship is locked however}}.

The owner of == Additional Notes ==* Plotting a course is possible only when aboard a ship as the ship commander.*Ships can attach be transported over land using a [[boat lockship_transporter|ship transporter]] to it to enable permissions. *The lock can [[small raft]] is not considered a functional ship, as it floats but cannot be removed boarded or commanded.*It is possible to disembark directly onto dry land from a ship by everyone in posession right-clicking a nearby tile of the key but only the owner can attach it againdry land and selecting ''disembark''.*Ships cannot be hauled up ladders

To secure a ship from drifting or being dragged or pushed away it's important to moor it with a [[mooring anchor]]. A ship can be moored by the commander and any passenger but only the commander can raise the anchor. On [[Freedom]] ships can not be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]]. Trying so will result in the message ''Stealing boats is punished with death penalty here. You decide not to''. == Notes ==*If you are building a ship larger than a small sailing boat inside a cart, it will become too heavy to drag. Make sure to move the cart next to water before it gets too heavy. See [[small cart]] to find out how much you can drag.*The person to attach the last piece to an unfinished ship becomes the owner when it is finished.*Currently there are no beneficial results from improving the quality of a ship.*Ships with a [[quality]] of less than 10 cannot be commanded. ==Vessel DetailsChart==<div style="overflow-x: auto">{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" style="text-align:center;" class="wikitable sortable"!scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="text" |Vessel |!scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Mind Logic |!scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Total Occupants* ^{[[#Note_1|[1]]]} !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Maximum Solo Speed (km/h) !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" |Maximum speed (full crew) !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Commander Propulsion (approx. km/h)*' ^{[[#Note_2|[2]]]} !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Hold Capacity (Volume)*^ ^{[[#Note_3|[3]]]} !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Hold Capacity (Rafts) !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" |Hold Capacity (Sm Crates) !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Hold Capacity (Lg Crates) !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Footprint Size ^{[[#Note_4|[4]]]} !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Height** ^{[[#Note_5|[5]]]} !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Draft** <sup>[[#Note_6|[6]]] !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Minimum Passable Depth !scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" |Creature Cage Capacity!scope="col" width="100" data-sort-type="number" | Weight (Kg)|-| [[Crude canoe]] || 19.5(?) || 2 || ? || || 7.2 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 1x1x1 || 3 Dirt || 5 Dirt || 5 || 0 || 120
