Karve It Up: A Smaller Knarr

[Lunarius_Haberdash]

The Knarr is a glorious and wonderful ship, but far too large for many practical purposes. Perhaps we could be given a mid-range sailing vessel called the "Karve", based on an actual Nordic ship that was significantly smaller than the Knarr. This ship could be the equivalent of a Wagon in terms of size and capacity, while perhaps having the same potential speed as the Knarr (or perhaps just a smidge lower, a 6 or 7 max speed). Just thinking that while the Knarr is grand, it wouldn't hurt us to have a mid-range ship that's somewhat more accessible.

Give it the added (and historically supportable) ability to transport livestock, and we've got a handy convenience tool!

I totally agree that we need a new boat between the rowboat and knarr.

Leap from Rowboat to Knarr is indeed massive.

agreed

Maybe have its speed scale somewhere between a rowboat and knarr based on the # of people in it to row?

I know, I would be the first to hop on here and say "Oh but that just encourages you to use alts/bots", but it would be a cool thing.

True on both counts.

Well, we can always make a team effort and make a boat, that's when used by a single person is slower than rowboat, but the more players (up to 4 maybe?) then, quicker it gets. But not quicker than a knarr.
