Dry Dock

[anaxis]

As I just learned, Dry Dock isn't available in AoP.... yet.
What I would like to see, is that Dry Dock be made available.... but only in certain ports, as in Naval Forts & major cities.
It doesn't make sense to me that dry dock be available in fishing villages or tiny backwater ports, even if there are one or two ships for sale in them.

OK now that actually makes sense to me.

Should be expensive.

I agree. My suggestion is that availability & cost for dry-docking be based on a captains' rank with the host nation of these ports, along with the size of the vessel.

As well, should dry-docks have a chance of being sabotaged during total or spy-wars, making them unavailable until the locks are repaired?
That'd make it a bit more difficult for captains to simply keep a string of ships as easy backups.

ST certainly features such complications, so adding them to AoP as well seems logical.
