The ability for "Pirate" players to take captain role of the ship by force.

How?

• A none owner breaks the ship sign
• Likely a Ships Addon instead of a core feature

Balance

• A pirate can only take control if they are the only player on the ship
• A pirate can only be in survival mode
• The original owner will be notified if a loss of control occurs

Permissions

• Permission to be a pirate
• Permission to override being a pirate (aka not to be a pirate even if they have the previous permission)

Could we make a check (maybe optional in the config) to see if the owner is online? If not, offline raidings will potentially break this system.

Sounds good.

Features like this im open to discussion for major change (not that that is a huge change)

So i am guessing intended feature is:

• Fight for a ship, if win, you may steal.

What people could abuse it with:

• Go to a port with a lot of ships in, and just steal one.

Suggestion on how to fix it:
Locks. Something i saw in a server named StarLegacy (now named to Intercosmica i believe).
Basically how it works is:
Vessel can be locked and unlocked by the owner.
Unlock is instant, but locking takes a preset amount of time (eg. 15 minutes).
If locked, the ship cannot be stolen, but at the same time, cannot be moved, so needs to be unlocked before a voyage.

This way, parked ships cannot be stolen, but a ship that is on a voyage can be intercepted & after it's crew is killed, stolen.
