Upgradable ships
Mysteroo:
So on Minecraft I played a server called Madrealms. They have a pretty cool mod where you can build your own airship and fly it around and upgrade it. I thought it would be a great thing for Blockland, especially if it could work well.
Now I know buildable vehicles didn't work out, but buildable elevators did. So using a system similar to that, these could work. They don't need to turn or change their position in any way, just their location. In the MC mod, someone would take a stick, after building it, and say a command, then right click and the ship would move in that direction. Then type another command to stop controlling the ship. These could work like elevators, using static shapes, or maybe even Truce's one mod where a plate would appear under you and allow you to float around by standing on it. It moved the brick by killing and then replacing it in a slightly different position.

I've always loved those games where you build your own ship and upgrade it and such, like when I was a little younger I played Poptropica's pirate world where you would buy and make your own ship. It would be great for maybe pirate Rp's or something.
Now that I think of it, truces buildable vehicles work fine with this. Now we just need to wait until Truce makes a boat chassis. Or maybe someone else could make a boat chassis, one that like GSF's carriers can also be walked on. What I guess I was really asking for is a system for this to work. Some sort of currency system for buying bricks to build on the ship
Katadeus:
So you're suggesting that the server loads the entire ship again each time you move it?
Idk how that's gonna work out for you. Depends on the size of the ship anyway.

If you don't go crazy and build something huge it could be alright. I don't mod though so I don't know how realistic this is

Good job on that sentence, makes so much sense!
Also this sounds cool but is most likely not possible in an efficient way

meaning needs to translate, not rotate
Vehicles would have to rotate horizontally or vertically, With this I guess it would be nice to do that, but it's not necessary. It can be more like the elevators mod, which worked, where you can just move up, down, left or right, but not rotate in any direction.
