Missing Snekkja

[riker88]

Logged in today and noticed my Snekkja is not at my dock anymore. No scents. Any idea what could have happened? It was within my V-Claim borders.

and yes, it was locked.

You must've not docked it properly, i recommend trying to bash it after docking to be sure it's docked properly, if it is you won't be able to even try.

avoid the manual "Dock" process, as collision may happen, just travel home

once you disembark, verify if ship has option "Unmoor"

Ok after I travel home I usually turn the ship around so my sails face outward , is that not a good thing to do?

I'm not familiar with the unmoore mechanic, what does that do? What is the purpose of locking the ship for?

[Dawidio123]

Okay, so an undocked snekkja (also lock it please or people will just yoink it) can be bashed by hand, no siege engine needed (Knarrs require siege engine even undocked).
When you port back do not move your snekk, it undocks it. When the snekkja is docked there is nothing ppl can do about it other than building a siege engine to bash it.

This is the easiest and simplest method.

You must've not docked it properly, i recommend trying to bash it after docking to be sure it's docked properly, if it is you won't be able to even try.

Clarification: in this scenario, having the destroy cursor (confusingly identical with mining cursor) and clicking the Snekkja (if docked properly) results in nothing. Character won't move, you will not gain any kind of error message. This is relevant for another scenario: checking if Palisade is fully dried, there is no alternative way that I know of.

Should there not be scents for bashing it?

You either don't have the detection to see it, or maybe they are somehow hitting it from outside of the claim? maybe if they aren't technically in the claim its not a crime? also maybe white perms used wrong?

[riker88]

is it possible to pick the lock and sail off in it?
