Raising of lost ships

[Montecripto]

It would be great if when you lose your ship be it from a pve or pvp encounter that you could pay at the ship repair station to have your ship raised (so to speak) for a certain amount say 5 times the cost to have it fully repaired. I truely believe this would cause less stress on new and old players on the loss of ones ship and modules.

This way the grind to get said ship and modules would not go in vain.

That would be unlimited dura for a little money. Why should one go for crafting then?

Bcause ...

Thecost to raise a ship could be very high.  There could be a risk of destroying the ship for a failed attempt.  Other players could still steal the ship, or cargo. Recovery could be limited to moderate depth waters.   Players would have to sail slow just to find the wreck location.  

It might be just easier to build a new ship.

What if a ship sail into land while sailing afk ? Does it shipwreck and gets to be looted by opportunistic others that find the wreckage ? 😁

Excellent idea. No sarcasm intended.

To be fair, currently with the way the Req and Herc are implemented is for $10 USD you get an unlimited dura ship that costs about 4k Reals to get kitted out again. So the concept of "unlimited dura ships" has long since sailed once those were introduced. Being able to spend 20k or whatever to get back a ship isn't the worst idea right now, as it's much 'safer' economically to just spend the 10 USD and have a free 5th rate for the rest of time
