For the seafaring, listed here are the type of
ships you can buy at a shipwright, along with information pertaining
to each ship. The same
info can be acquired by actually buying the ship, and then typing 'ship
info' while you're aboard. However, it is always better to know what
you are paying for. Ship speeds are also listed; the value of this speed
means the number of vnums the ship "jumps" everytime it moves.
Upgrades for ships such as the Velocity Booster is also shown at the
bottom of this page. If you want to see how survey shows ships and their
flags, go to our Survey Viewpoints page
and scroll down. If you want to see a list of shipyards and the prices
