Daggerfall: Ships
Greg McDonell
Well, I've bought my top of the line cruiser, a bargain at 200,000.
Now where is it???
Did I make a small mistake by buying it at a town (sentinel) without a
port?
Or is this just an imaginery ship that you never get to see? The suggestion
I saw somewhere that you could sleep and leave inventory aboard suggested
otherwise.
Regards, Greg

ride a horse. The ship will be listed there and if you select it you
will go to your ship.

Bring up travel options. SHIP is now available at the bottom, below
FOOT, CART & HORSE. Return to land by selecting SHIP again. Note
that the menus aren't the same for travel options on the two ships. I
think it's the small one that lets you ride your horse or drive your
cart around on the ship. The other ship (the large one if I'm
remembering correctly) won't let you do anything except travel back to
to dry land. This discrepancy between ship behaviors makes me very
uncomfortable, speaking as a programmer. I keep looking suspicously
around to see what else is strange.
Some people have actually fast travelled from ship. I don't like the
fact that the "you are here" function indicates someplace off the edge
of the world when you are on a ship, so I always return to dry land.
You still get the savings and speed of owning your own ship.
I have left a sword for repair and slept overnight in my ship, only to
find the sword gone in the morning. Beware this possibility.
Sunset and the stars are beautiful viewed from your ship. No ghosts
will bother you. Assassins sent against you for any reason _can_ find
you there, and the bodies do disappear after a trip to dry land and
back. You can fly (levitate) to about the top of your sail, and thus
find out how high is the sky. You can swim, but not dive. Very
shallow ocean, it seems. I have never encountered slaughterfish
there. You can actually travel across water in normal travel if you
ride your horse out from dry land, and use your ship to rest. You can
swim, too. That will increase your swimming skill. I took a trip to
the forbidden island of Cybriades that way.

Just click on the little legs on the bottom of the screen and choose
ship. You're magically transported there (perhaps not so magically).
All you can do is rest and drop stuff there, and it takes you 9 days
from Daggerfall instantaneously. You sure can't sail the high seas
and pillage&plunder. <sigh> But what else is there to spend those
millions on?
