Now that does sound like an interesting mod, I'll try it out and tell you how its going

Downloading it now FTW .

I'm going to withhold rating this file now because it's a beta. If I had to rate it, though, sadly I would have to give it a thumbs down. The first problem I encountered was vastly increased loading times when loading a game from the start menu. This problem didn't occur prior to installing this mod, and it ceased upon uninstalling it. Another problem I encountered was the inability to actually sail. Despite having the latest OBSE, something just wasn't working. I read the book on how to sail a ship, waited endlessly for the two bells, but nothing happened. So, I was unable to sail.

Finally, I don't know if this was implemented because, as I say, I couldn't get the vessel to sail, but CLShade's Sailboats mod allows you to fast travel to any of three ports, which is a clever way of getting past the map limitations. As it stands now (if this feature isn't in fact included in your mod) we'll only be able to sail off the western coast, which doesn't make the mod very functional. Again, I could be wrong about this.

My reason for posting such a long critique is because I really REALLY want you to see this mod through and perfect it. It's exactly the kind of thing I would love, and the ships are absolutely stunning. It's about time someone put those models to good use. Also, from your screenshots, you did a marvelous job with the interiors, and the ancient Aylied harbor was immaculately created. You've achieved the difficult balance in all your interiors that eludes so many other mod-creators: that is, making it aesthetically pleasing, without overdoing the lights or the objects to the extent that the user's system becomes a slideshow. All in all, this mod is very impressive so far, but I hope you can work out the scripts so that there's no system hang on startup (if that's possible), and so that actually getting the ship to start sailing is less beuggy. Thanks.

Where do you find this place? You have no location map or any reference of where to find it. Does anyone know?

This mod is amazing, looking forwards to your next instalment.
Thankd for sharing!

Look forward with anticipation for the bugs to be ironed out. As someone stated an option to fast travel from Anvil to Imperial city docks is kind of a must.

As well the ship models need a bit of work, I noticed you can't walk under some of the roofs your character instantly gets shot onto the roof.

Haven't been able to buy anything from Winried. Is there a certain time you can only buy items from him? HAven't been able to buy a ship either I only get normal dialogue from him.

With that said, the ship designs are beautifully done. And you've done a fantastic job with the interiors. As mentioned I look forward to the bugs being ironed out.
