It would be nice if there were river vessels not quite up par for sea travel. These craft would work as the sea going ships do but be limited to their individual fresh water rivers or lakes. I would imagine most of these would be smaller versions of a galleon, bringing the ship down to scale with, perhaps, a single step to the pilot, depending on the vessel type. I could imagine everything from houseboats to sailboats with barges and even rafts included. I have always liked the idea of a two or three man canoe (collapsable?).
This idea could offer a viable cashflow potental for Simutronics and offer players the chance to own a ship even if it is limited to it's local waterway.
Thanx fer hearin me out, X

This has been bandied around before, and I think it kind of falls under 'waterways in DR are nightmarish to code and are massive system resources'.
I think it was, as an example, a mid-sized boat that consumed the same volume of resources as most of Crossings, or something goofy.
I suspect that a freshwater only system wouldn't be any more simplistic.

FWIW, there are boats that work exactly like this that can be rented out from either Langenfirth and Riverhaven to travel around Lake Gwenalion for one hour.

I think Rossman's as well, but I've never attempted to sail there personally.

Yup, Rossman's confirmed.
