Warship and Captain Skill System

Warships on New Hope UO are equipped with advanced ship-to-ship combat mechanics, ammunition management, and a custom Captain Skill leveling system.

1. Captain Skill System

Levels: 1 to 10. Levels increase as Captain XP is earned.
XP Sources:
- Sailing: +1 XP per relocation step.
- Firing a cannon: +20 XP.
- Sinking a hostile warship: +10,000 to +50,000 XP (based on ship size).
Captain Bonuses:
- +5% Cannon Damage per level above Level 1 (Max +45% at Level 10).
- +5% Damage Reduction (Resistance) per level above Level 1 (Max +45% at Level 10).

Ammunition Storage: Galleons have a built-in ammo storage capacity of 500 (StoredAmmo).
Ammunition Enforcement: Firing a cannon checks for resources in the player's pack, the ship's ammo storage, or the cargo hold (GalleonHold). If gunpowder, cannonballs, and fuses are missing, the cannon cannot fire.
Auto-Reload: Firing cannons from the ship control pad automatically reloads them if empty and resources are available in the backpack or ship storage.

Boarding Mechanic: If a hostile ship's durability drops below 33%, players can use a Boarding Rope to teleport themselves and their pets directly onto the enemy deck.

Scanning: Players can use a Spyglass to scan for ships 50-80 tiles away. Upon detection, it creates a Quest Arrow pointing directly to the target ship.

Combat Protection: Damage dealt between different ships (player-to-player or player-to-creature) is reduced to 10%. Players must board the same ship to deal 100% full damage.
