A ship as a house

Hope that when houses comes out you could later on make some ships buyable for players in different zones.
Not for traveling around but just for the housing part.

    Sign me up for that one.

    Though I would hope that the deck is instanced, so we can put stuff on it.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    This would be pretty awesome actually, would be nice to have for pirate based players.

    Maybe something they can look into for a future update. A dock area with a ship as well as some ground area to build on for warehousing etc.

    I have my pirate costume pack, and I am totally on board for this idea!

    I would like to see the access point include a dock as well.

    A yacht. LOL. B)

    I love this idea. You can have boats in a couple of different sizes, from a big pirate ship to a smaller boat. There can be a plank going from a dock to the boat, with an invisible wall that separates the instanced part (the entire boat) from the rest of the mainland. This way the upper deck will be instanced as well as below deck.

    We also need a treehouse approximately the size of Captain Margaux's Place. (One of the smallest of the "small" homes.) Just sayin'. o:)

    Most likely they will at some point. One instanced "houseboat" that can be reached from a rowboat in every major harbour sounds pretty nifty as home, I would say...

    I am all over this and had been hoping for it since housing was announced.

    But I have also thought it would be interesting, seeing as a few of the houses have water access, and some of the ships in game are more or less "structures" as in they have no interior or exterior load, they could be placed like huge furnishings

    If they did this, I'd love to be able to have it not be "docked" while we're in it. Give it the illusion of sailing on the ocean.

    Well i guess it would be so much work that the price for it would exceed what players would be able to pay. It would be nice if it could. But i rather have a ship as a house than no ship at all.

    I can see where Master Angler can unlock a specific ship but not all.
    Maybe it would unlock a themed fishing vessel with nets, cages etc on it's decks.

    Have been suggesting this since Housing first mentioned. Would love a ship as home - especially one of the huge Khajiit (? I think) ones in Hew's Bane.

    But smaller one would do.

    It's not the size of the boat.,..it's the ability of the pilot to stay in port long enough for all passengers to...arrive ;)

    Elder Scrolls II - Daggerfall had horses, carts and ships (maybe housing but I cannot remember). I do remember the ships though. They allowed you to travel from port to port for free. I really hope they would bring them back for TESO although, I am not sure what they would really improve, besides being a housing addition, since we have the Wayshrine network and other ship captains at our disposal. Still, owning a ship is pretty cool.

    Chill fella - You didn't see the winky smilie?

    But if you wanna take it serious: No Master Angler = no House boat. Different people grind for different things. TBH I am sick & tired of lazy bell-ends who think they are entitled to everything without putting any concerted effort into it.

    I'd easily pay $50 REAL CASH for a boat docked just outside of Vulkhel Guard, just outside the city. It could even be half the size of our free house in the city. All I need is a bed, end table, and some wall decorations and I'd be set.

    The broom closet we got isn't bad. I'm just not a fan of the stone wall look. Not sure how long it'll take me to decorate it up to the point I don't notice it, but I'm hoping it's not "years".
