So to avoid spoilers, I will simply say that there is one proper ship in Skyrim, near Solitude, that first put this thought in my head... My idea is a new house specifically for cutthroat pirates and nautical adventurers. The house itself would be the Captain's quarters, and for convenience sake, the ship could also be home to all the essential crew that one would expect from a relatively small town: apothecary for all medical and alchemaic needs, a smith to mind the forge, a quartermaster in charge of equipment and goods to serve as a merchant. And, of course, an appropriate Housecarl. Ideally, I'd like the ship itself to be an initial purchase, or perhaps earned through a quest. After acquiring it, upgrades would be available just as any home, purchased from an appropriate vendor. (Maybe the 1st Mate?) Even better, a follow-up quest to hire an appropriate crew of seamen or brigands, depending on your tastes. Tell me what you think...anyone else interested? Any suggestions?
