Ship status effects

Navires will have status effects based on the weapon types attacking the ship or the encounters that the ship is facing.[1]
Winds
High winds, rain, and snow - our dynamic weather system has you covered![2]
Wind will influence the speed and direction that ships travel on the open sea (non-coastal areas of the map).[1][3]
- Players will need to take wind direction (and strength) into consideration when navigating the open waters.[3]
- Wind is an important component of the open sea- quote-unquote open seas- so that's all non-coastal areas; and that open sea, based on those the composition of wind and the open sea, will influence the speed directionally that a boat is traveling in, and how that speed gets influenced by the winds. That can be an important strategic component when discussing timing for trade runs, or timing for what your location is in relationship to your target out at the open sea; and it just creates a little bit more fluid and dynamic experience when you're at sea that. Like you're not in this cove and you always know how you're going to interact with the open water; and the speed that you have, so you can predict accurately what your intercept rate or distance will look like. If that is a variable and that variable changes, then you have to adapt your strategies for that variable; and I think that is very healthy and keeps things fresh from a perspective of a cat-and-mouse game that usually occurs between ships in the open waters.[3] – Steven Sharif
Tides
There won't be tidal patterns in the ocean, but the ocean will not be static content all the time. Unique content will be represented at certain times with regards to certain climates.[5]
Ship physics
Ship physics may be simulated to avoid performance issues.[6]
Ship destructibility
Ship destruction at sea will leave its crew stranded, since ships (excluding raft caravans) may only be summoned from a port or harbor.[7][8][9]
- Ships that are completely destroyed will incur great costs to restore, and may only be re-launched from land.[10][11]
- There is no "recall" (fast-travel) option to return to shore, however death by drowning will respawn the player on shore but will incur experience debt (and other death penalties).[7]
- We don't have a recall... There is consequence for you losing the means of your mobility and if you lost the means of that mobility then those consequences are it's going to take you longer to get to where you need to go, or you're going to have to suffer some experience debt.[7] – Steven Sharif
- If a ship's navigator is killed or otherwise removed from the ship then any player will be able to navigate the ship for a period of 15 to 20 minutes before the ship despawns and becomes a wreckage.[12]
- Merchant ships that are destroyed or despawned will become a wreckage that contains a portion of the cargo it was transporting (in the same way as destroyed caravans).[13][14]
- Dynamic destructibility of ships is under consideration.[15]
