[Poll] Boats

[trinket_4]

Since sailing on boats is a new mechanic on DST, I would like to ask you guys, are you enjoying it so far? would you change it somehow?

For 2, I feel like having the option of letting us have both bigger, and smaller boats would be nice.

Currently the way 2 is written makes it seem like one or the other.

oh, that one was suppose to be a multiple choice, sorry !!

I'd be fine with smaller boats, but I'd want them to follow the Turn of Tides style of boating instead of Shipwrecked; mostly because of the lack of waves. Why would you ever choose something that can't easily navigate around the only danger currently in the sea? It'd be a whole issue in itself.

As for sea basing, I think the main problem with it (at the moment) is more in the ocean side of things. There's just not a lot of things to do yet. I think it'll be more widely used as it becomes more and more populated. 

I'd mostly just like to see more boat accessories and items. Especially some sort of boat light. Firepits seem a little wonky, since the ring of stones shouldn't really protect the very flammable wooden boat the fire is sitting on.

Ah, one more thing. Think you could add an extra slot for the boat's crafting recipe? I personally think it should be upped, but I'd like to see other people's thoughts on it. I'd make my own poll, but it seems more fitting here.

Seeing as how this is just the groundworks (I still can't believe that, so excited!) I can see them adding a multitude of things for boats.

What I would absolutely love is for new islands that have entirely new (non moon mutated) wildlife and new resources to spice up the gameplay.

I can't add any more questions, 5 is the limit

I personally don't want skins for boats, I would prefer boats made of different materials instead with different health, speed, special effects, ect.

Like here's some crappy ideas a dragonscale boat which stuff on it won't catch on fire, a nightmare fuel/living log boat which drains the sanity of those on it, a boat reinforced with gold to be more durable, ect.

Something like this, or more ways to 'equip' and 'upgrade' the boat.
Loosening placement constraints would also help here; like being able to place structures closer together so we can fit more onto the things. Perhaps in exchange make the boat's rim visibly thicker and be a no-placement zone, to help prevent border item-snatching issues.

Boats need be faster. both turn of sail and movement speed with less sails. Not nice that need dozen sails just to get good speed.
