Suggestion - Sailor Class

[Merk 307]

Suggestion - SAILOR CLASS

Description: The sailor would be a new class added under the "Miscellanious" section of the F4 job selection menu. (Additionally, /sailor.) This would be accessible at level 30, capped to a total of 6 slots, and would be allowed to base anywhere on the water. (Their build MUST be a boat, yacht, raft, or etc.) They would be allowed to have printers, 4 keypad doors, and everything else that a standard citizen is entitled to. 

One accommodation that would need to be made is that the Sailor could not be rocket-raided, (as they would have 0% survival rate if their base is made entirely of props.)

This model pack would do very well at keeping the same general style and feel of a Garnet Gaming class, and would represent the sailor well.

Reasoning: Would add a new class to play with, incentive to level up, and add more of a usage for the beach/water areas. 

Thanks to camp and enzo for supplying the boat example.

+1 seems like a fun job ngl

As much as I like the idea, there are a few issues I see with this;

-What would be the size limit of a ‘’yacht’’, I could def see this getting out of hands.

-What’s considered a boat? There needs to be more specifications, someone could build a cube with floaties on the side and call it one.

-Nerve gas

-Tricky entrances exploiting the water physics

+1 this would be a really cool addition to the game and would breathe some life into base building. However, Nutter would need to add a lengthy list of building rules to keep people from building unraidable bases.

I think this is a great idea! It will add a lot to the beach / water areas of the map, plus it adds something new for players to experiment with. I'd like to see the designs people come up with.

I think Vortex brought up some really good points though, and I have a couple of suggestions which may help:

• The size limit could be the same as a hobo hut (6x6x6 plate) as that would be in-keeping with the current rules for other classes making it easy to remember
• I think it's tricky to define what is considered a boat / raft ant this will undoubtedly be a bit of grey area, so while it's a good rule on face-value, I think leaving this rule out may be easier to staff to manage
• With nerve gas (or similar) what if the rules read "A sailors boat / raft cannot be raided using area-effect weapons (explosives, nerve gas, etc)" as a catch-all? If the size was limited to a 6x6x6 plate then nerve gas would also be a bit OP
• I think with the water physics, the same rules should apply as per the cave base - "do not require people to swim while cracking keypads and do not make the enemy raiders have to defend themselves while swimming"

I agree with everything here except making it the same size as a hobo hut. A base should be bigger than that. Also since it’s not on the street it’s not like you’re gonna be blocking anything anyways.

I also forgot to add;

-Can sailors place their boats next to each other? Should there be a minimum gap between boats in order to avoid bigger connected bases?
-Can your boat be on the water underneath the dock?

-During the Christmas map, are you still allowed to place your boat dupe on the ice?

I like this idea. Ship wars would kinda be fun to see, and would give us more to do with the large expanses of water in the map.

-1 if there can’t be Vehicles or transport then there’s no need for any type or sort of transportation in here.I see the fishing job would fit this but didn’t that  job didn’t got denied? Having a base on water sounds interesting on the notebook but i would see no point other than sitting down farm and moving island to small island to island.
