good thing i dont use his shitty client
Consider this: Shubla could have done this, and immediately released his griefing tool, without any communication towards the devs. Would that be a bannable offense? Neither griefing nor releasing bot programs/scripts is bannable in Haven. Why should that same action become bannable for warning devs beforehand, giving them a chance to prepare?

Legacy did not have 10-character death ships that are twice as fast as your rowboat.

I support your suggestion, but it doesn't fix the issue that alts with points in 15 melee combat are able to knock a character
THIS fast.
The problem of sudden ship ganks would be mostly solved if the knarr/snekkja cannot
initiate combat. Forcing the characters involved to step onto land for a bit to initiate combat and then get back onto the ship should allow the victim some time to at least get to land. Bonus points for making boarding a ship take a second or so rather than being instant.

This makes a lot of sense. Characters punching each other on different boats never really made sense.

This isn't a grab bag of random ideas; it's more like a brainstorm session to find a solution to the problem of knarrs being able to gank players on water within a second.
