	The SkyShips are combat vessels designed for battle. In PvE combat the shipship can be "damaged" and even crippled, but ultimately not destroyed. In PvP, ships can actually be destroyed, along with any items aboard. A "seed" from the ship has to be taken on a special quest ~~that will allow the guild~~ to restore the original, un-upgraded version of the ship. Upgrade quests must be repeated, to restore the original ship.		The SkyShips are combat vessels designed for battle.

Different types of cannons, including specific [[MRPG Proficiency List#Magic Proficiencies\|magic sub-types]] can be added to your ship. Since all skyships are wooden, fire-cannons are the obvious winners for ship-to-ship combat. The principle on which they work, depends on the players, or Game Master's decision: it might use magnifying glasses to set the enemy ship alight, or launch burning oil or explosive chemicals, or simply have the word 'Fire' or 'Burn' written in magic runes on flash-paper rolled into a ball and propelled by compressed air, or anything else even remotely feasible-looking.

	However, if fighting different mobs and bosses, you may want more specific weapons, and sub-types that mob will be weak against.		However, if fighting different mobs and bosses, you may want more specific weapons, and sub-types that mob will be weak against.

	As established, skyships in PvP-mode can be destroyed. That means they can also be crashed.
