	~~These are builder hacks for designing a better ship:~~		.
	*If you don't want your ship to be controlled by a player, then create a new room in your ship with the captain in it, and remove the link to get there. Provide [[Prop_NoTeleport]] and [[Prop_NoSummon]] to this room so players can't access it. Make your captain have a [[Prop_SafePet]], as an extra precaution (and to keep him from being counted as the base-area population).
	*If you don't want a ship to be attacked, there are three ways to do this. You can set the ship's Is unattackable flag to TRUE. You could give the ship [[Prop_SafePet]]. Or you could grant every mob on the ship Prop_SafePet. The first two methods are the best, overall.
	*Ships are basically miniature areas. As such, players enjoy seeing custom decorations, loot, and other scenery on the ship. Try to add a little uniqueness to each ship.
	*Once you have your captain (MOB with SAILOR behavior with peacemover), you ship will try to escape your build room. To avoid this, have an archon with SYSMSGS on in the build room or prop_ReqNoMOB on the area(s) that the room leads to (and probably the area the room is in, if that is different).
