Wind for sailing ships and wind engine

Post by TheLebkuchen24 »

Hello everybody,

anticipate , my english is not the best . But I will try and do my best. ^^

I am thinking about wind in the game.
The idea of the sailing ship came during the work on a multiplayer map. I set the size of the water to "very big" and the world generator generated seas with islands. It was such a beautiful map. But the problem is that you can not escape from your island. :|
Maybe it is possible later to have a harbour where robotic ships go to?

And yeah. What would be greater than a sailing ship? I like them much. But without wind and wind direction it will not be that awesome as it could be.

If wind comes as a variable to the game. Why did not include wind engines?

What do you think about my ideas? ;)

I like it. A sailing ship to go over the lakes... nice!
Tier 1: You can drive only in the direction of the wind.
Tier 2: Some crossing possible, "crossing against" the wind.
Tier 3: Rotating sails: Go in every direction, Harbour
Tier 4: Motor driven, automated
Tier 5: Big, automated transport ships.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
