AC:4 Black Flag style seafaring mod - would it be possible?

Hey all,
As an enthusiast of naval combat of all kinds, I've had the idea of making a mod for Skyrim that adds various types of ships that can be directed by the player as well as NPC controlled ones of varying factions. The basic premise would be based on Medieval naval warfare, where ships were used for boarding actions almost exclusively. Ideally, there'd be a controllable ballista to disable enemy ships. Extended features would include customisable and hire-able crew, your ship being counted as a mobile home, where you can store loot gained from raiding ships, and an extended coastal and ocean region to explore with quests and towns etc.

Now, as for the actual design of the mod, I had the idea of perhaps having ships as solid NPC's with the DragonNoLanding combat style in the Creation kit. If a ballista is infeasible, ranged combat would be handled by giving each ship (or captain) alduin's meteor shower spell. I'm new to modding in general and definitely new to modding in skyrim, so I'm unsure if this is even a viable path.

Basically, what I'm wondering is: Could this mod be possible to make? I'm a fairly experienced 3d modeller and average texturer, so there should be no problem there, but I'm doubtful if this is achievable from the coding side of things.

Any feedback, suggestions or confirmation of impossibility is appreciated :)
