Longships are large boats with a high sailing speed, a high amount of storage and average maneuverability. Their cost of construction makes Longships less than disposable. However, their significantly higher health and fast sailing speeds make them a decent upgrade from the Karve. Longships are reliable boats, able to store a large amount of cargo while boasting some of the best maneuverability, without being so large as to be cumbersome.

They travel 3.6–9.4 m/s with full sails, 3.6–6.7 m/s with half sails and 3.16 m/s when paddling.

Notes[]

  • Boats cannot be deconstructed with a hammer, but their resources drop when they are destroyed and can be recovered if a player is standing or swimming in range to pick them up before they sink.
  • Longships can capsize from heavy waves during storms, though it is rare. Sail directly towards the waves at less than full sails to minimize the risk.

Trivia[]

  • Curiously, instead of real-life designs, the dragon head of the Longship in the game is based on the visage of Moorwens, a race of lizard-like quadrupedal aliens whose last surviving member served as the main antagonist of underrated 2008 sci-fi Viking film Outlander.
