+An owned ship is locked against everyone else - ownership is by steamid.\\

+In short - if you see a vessel of any type just floating, hover the mouse over the rudder carefully before touching it.
+If you ignore this, you __**WILL**__ be publicly mocked  AND  You will be watched as a potential thief.
+===== Unowned Ships =====
+If you are so game rich you do not care about your ships and cannot be bothered to lock ownership, No complaints can be made if they are "borrowed"\\
+Of course, it will be considered bad form if ships floating outside a base are borrowed\\
+but those left idle in the middle of nowhere - well - claim them or lose them.
+===== Vanishing Ships =====
+It is not unknown for mobs to break ships and for the mats to de-spawn over time leaving no trace.\\
+Necks, in particular, hate all types of ships and are relentless in attacking them.
+If you have a ship where it is vulnerable to mob attack - dismantle it and store the mats in a box if you want to keep it.\\
+To aid in this King Eric has enabled the hammer to disassemble a ship with one right click, instead of the traditional viking method of hacking it apart with your axe.
+A claimed ship __cannot__ be stolen or destroyed by another player, and all attempts will be logged.\\
+So, if your claimed ship is simply gone, then look for the mobs that destroyed it.
-In short - if you see a vessel of any type just floating, check the rudder carefully before touching it.
