Movecraft Guide

Introduction

Imperia has several movecraft ships that allow players to traverse open waters and have naval engagements. Movecraft is useful for emulating proper ships and navies.

This guide is split into 4 sections: Setup, Ship Types, Controls, and Weaponry.

## Setup

There are 5 basic components a ship needs to function correctly: Ship type, Helm, Cruise, Release, and the ship itself.

### **Ships**

Your ship should fit between the size of the ship type you wish to select.

### **Ship Type**

**There are four ship types: Civ**ilian, Frigate, Cruiser, Battleship.

To select your ship type, place a sign on your craft that has the ship type on it.

You can add a second line in the sign with a name for the ship. However, it doesn't do anything special or different.

### **Helm**

In order to be able to steer your ship, you need a helm. Place a sign like the one below:

And it will appear as this.

Left clicking the sign will rotate the ship towards the left, and right clicking will do it to the right.

### **Cruise**

If you wish to be able to move your ship without using direct controls, you need a cruise sign. Place a sign like the one below.

### **Release**

Once you are done piloting/moving your ship, you can release it using a release sign.

**Move**

Used only for elevator type machines where ~ ~ ~ are how many blocks the craft will move in x, y or z direction

## Controls

In order to control your ship, you will first need to right click on your Ship Type sign first. This will allow you to pilot the ship if you have set it up correctly.

If you wish to turn, left click and right click the helm to rotate towards the respective directions.

If you wish to cruise, right click on your cruise sign. Please note that your ship will stop if it is obstructed.

Once you are done moving, right click on your release sign to be finished.

## Cannons

Ship to ship (as well as ship to land) combat is currently accomplished via the Cannons plugin. There is currently only one design available right now (1910), the 4-Inch artillery. To construct the 4-Inch artillery, place blocks in this pattern (remember the stone button on the chiseled stone brick block

The second cannon intended to be added after the Improved Cannons quest looks like this, and can be constructed, but it will not function. It is called the 12Inch in files.
